    Dr Kern has helped me tremendously as I deal with GPA vasculitis, he is the person most responsible for helping me work through this disease, and why I feel so good today, and will continue to assist me in the future.

    Dr. KERN is great. We discussed other issues, regarding my shoulder surgery and balance, that don't actually pertain to him. He's a great man, knows my hx, and really cares. Everything I could ask for in a Provider.

    After my visit I had questions about my tests,that the Doctors nurse could not answer. I was told I would need to make another appointment with him to talk with him.I just need to understand my results. If it its his practice not too contact patients,he should let his patients know that. It was very frustrating.

    Dr Kern is the most thoughtful and understanding Dr I've ever had he listens and does not judge me and really is concerned about how your body is feeling and what he can do to make you feel better. I will miss him as I'm moving from the state.
