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! Dr. Keenan goes above and beyond in her appointment visits either by phone on in person. She is very much appreciated.
