I saw Dr. McKenna a while back and from the moment I walked in the door I was properly greeted and treated with nothing but kindness and friendly faces. Dr. McKenna was a pleasure to speak to and was very humble and sweet. I will definitely be back.

I was recommended to this Doctor by a friend. He is rude with a very nasty attitude I will never return or recommend a dog to him . His office is raggedy with outdated furniture with street bums hanging outside.the staff is very courteous and does all the work I saw him maybe 5 min..

I saw Dr. Mckenna after Hurricane Katrina. He is humble and sweet. He listens to you and does not treat you like most Doctor's do. His staff members are so sweet. Naturally New Orleans.
