My overall experience with the Pulmonary clinic was very positive. However, it was Dr. Keenan's patient care and service that truly made the visit meaningful. My previous provider left me with many questions concerning my health and condition. Dr. Keenan took the time to carefully explain the findings of various tests and what I could expect moving forward. I feel confident in my care, as well as my prognosis. I commend Dr. Keenan for the way she treats (and educates) her patients. Furthermore, she called to provide results of a follow up test in a very timely manner. Absolutley one of the best physicians I have yet to encounter. Thank you!!

Oh my goodness, my Physician, Dr. Keenan was very kind and courteous. She explained all my tests in detail, even drew pictures for me. She was very concerned with the results that I had from an inhaler which gave me an allergic reaction and researched and started me on another one. She was so aware of my situation and had results for me. A new CT scan was scheduled and when this was completed, Dr. Keenan called me in the evening to tell me the results. I appreciated this more than words can say so that I did not have to worry unnecessarily. I was able to understand and absorb all that Dr. Keenan told me and I have the utmost confidence in her abilities. I would surely recommend her practice to others as needed.

At this visit I was in the care of Dr. Keenan and I was very pleased with this visit. It was an initial visit and Dr. Keenan put my mind at ease. She was very attentive and listened to me, asked me questions as well as I had questions for her. Everything regarding testing to be done was explained to me in full, with Dr. Keenan even drawing me a diagram of how the testing would be done and what protocol would be followed. I felt very comfortable and confident in Dr. Keenan's care and would highly recommend her practice to anyone needing it.
