    I am a retired MD and I am totally impressed by Dr Keenan's medical knowledge and insight about my very complicated medical challenges. She addressed all of my concerns with kindness and compassion and I left her office fully informed, and feeling valued and seen. She chased down my medical records from out of state with persistent efforts and after review adjusted my care plan to address issues she uncovered in my prior care. I would give her 10 stars if I could.
