Utilizing state of the art instrumentation that greatly reduces a patient's pain, recovery time, hospital stay and scarring, Dr. McKernan has been at the forefront of his field in developing the latest techniques for laparoscopic surgery. With the help of a scope, a camera, and a video monitor, most types of abdominal surgery can be performed without the trauma of traditional (old-fashioned) methods.

Yet we haven't forgotten that each of our patient's medical problems is unique. We work with these differences to bring you the best medical care possible, and to insure you get the best results from treatment. Education and confidence in your physician are extremely important in selecting the best treatment available for your medical condition.

We encourage you to ask questions at any time. We want you to be as well informed as possible. This will make you more comfortable and will make our task easier.
