we could hear him and how I was hurting he tried to change the subject for the better but nothing worked so I had to talk with the head surgical leader who wanted to talk me down so I wouldn't sue or file a complaint on his behalf. So I'm reaching out to everyone in my situation I never healed from hearing that growing up and it caused me to have to see a counselor and now because of him I'm now having to do so again so please everyone stay away from this man he's rude and totally disrespectful to patients and his staffs. Went to see him yesterday and he wasn't a bit concerned that my womb had burst back open he didn't want to really treat me for it until I demanded and even then one of his sweet nurses helped glue me back and he was so rude to her.

Used him for hernia. Just a great experience. Gave me a call later to check up and see if I had any questions. Zero pretentious vibe, just a dude with an incredible surgical ability.

Many of you may know that Dr. Kearney does amazing work and has practiced surgery and medicine for over 30 years. But the ethical misconduct of how this man verbally abuses patients, their families and coworkers is unacceptable. If I heard this surgeon (or any other, for that matter) curse me or my family the way he did the Quadriplegic man, HE would be the one who would need some surgery! All his accolades is dust in the wind when he decides to mistreat other people. Wealth, stature, title are no excuse for this misconduct.

Dr Kearney reconstructed my left femur broken in 2 spots from a freak water skiing accident. He was straight forward and positive. My follow-up doctor in Indianapolis calls me his miracle case and PT specialists comment that the end product is a direct result from an excellent surgeon. I found Dr Kearney and all employees at U of K to be top-notch and caring.

This surgeon is one of the most accurate diagnosticians, has a brilliant knowledge base and a deep concern for the human element as well. There is no one better equipped to handle any medical issue or surgery than Dr Kearney!
