Patient Reviews
Jul 19, 2019
Dr. Kern has been my son's pediatrician since he was born. She is extremely gentle and caring. He absolutely looks forward to seeing her. Dr. Kern is a beautiful and kind soul. Traits like these matter to parents and especially children. Dr. Kern always takes the time (and is not rushed) to explain procedures during the visit, and follow up is a breeze. If I have a question for Dr. Kern, I am able to leave a message and their medical staff will inquire w Dr. Kern and return my call in an expeditious manner. If I could rate her w 100 stars I would! THANK YOU for you EXCELLENT work Dr. KERN!

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
