A Letter from Dr. McKenna:
I pursued a career in orthopedic medicine because of my exposure to orthopedic surgeons during my participation in sports when I was younger. Their knowledge and care helped me return to health, and inspired me to work in a field where I could do the same. Today, orthopedics allows me to utilize my passion towards improving my patients’ quality of life.
My practice is focused on treating injuries and conditions pertaining to the shoulder, elbow, hand, and wrist. I also specialize in total joint replacement. I am skilled in performing an array of operative and conservative procedures, such as rotator cuff repair, total shoulder or elbow replacement, ligament reconstruction of the shoulder or elbow, and fracture management. In addition, I specialize in the treatment of both carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger.
“I like to communicate and work with you to find what meshes well with your individual needs.”
My philosophy is simple; my patients come first. No matter what your injury or condition may be, I strive to provide exceptional care that allows you to return to your daily activities.
In addition to my practice commitments, I enjoy playing golf, hiking, fishing, camping, and wine collecting.
I look forward to meeting with you!
Sincerely,
Mark E. McKenna, M.D.
