Outstanding Dr. with a good sense of how all aspects of our lives affect our weight management. I only wish she would be a G.P, so I could ditch mine and see her instead.Oh, and I have kept off the same 20 pounds now for nearly 3 years. Thanks Dr. McKenna!

Dr. McKenna is a very caring doctor who knows what a weight problem and treats one individually with a proper program. She is terribly interested in your other health problems and willing to stand aside until another doctor helps you get that problem straightened out if you are not able to keep a weight loss program going until the other problem is fixed. She have very much compasion and treats you with great respect. I will be back as soon as my other problem is under control and look forward to a positive program with her guidance.

Very genuine and listens well. I met her through my efforts to learn how to eat properly and meet my ideal weight. She is so warm and kind, I anted her to be my family Dr. but no such luck, as she is specializing in weight management. I lost 26 pounds 2 years ago through Dr. McKenna's efforts to educate me about eating properly. I haven't gained any of it back.

After being weighed and your blood pressure taken, you will pay $125 to breath into a machine for 5 minutes to determine something to do with your metabolism. Then, you'll get a sheet of paper telling you what you can eat - weight loss isn't exactly rocket science - it's calories in v. calories out. The next week, you'll be on a body fat scale. If you stick to the diet, you'll lose weight. Success is in your hands, not theirs. Should Alberta Health really be paying medical doctors for this service? Even if you are nearly starving on the diet, it's not like they will readily dispense Meridia to help. That said, at least they have a nice accurate scale to use...

I found that weight did not come up very often, rather this doctor would delve into personal live and then without much concern for the damage she was doing she would level the room and have helped in no way. She is billing AHC for weight loss but in mine and my families cases she was no help, only harm.

FABULOUS! I like her no nonsense approach to not just weightloss, but health in general. She takes the time to talk and find out what's going on rather than just give everyone the same solution to what potentially, on the surface, could seem like the same problem. Great job ...you're wonderful Dr. McKenna!

She is absolutely fantastic. I had been unsuccessful at loosing weight until I met her and she helped me through it. She cares a lot, she understands you, she a great listener... If only I could have her as my family physician as well then I would be all set!
