Dr. Keenan is always very attentive and so exacting in her explanations. She is a compassionate and caring physician and I am fortunate to have her as my pulmonologist. She did a walk test with me and it was determined that I would see the Respiratory Therapist, Aubrey, who was very helpful. She was extremely patient with me in her explanations of the oxygen regimen that I would be following. Bless her for her patience with me!
