About this business

As an osteopathic physician, I studied how to care for the entire patient – mind, body and spirit. I feel all these facets of a person play a role in his or her health. I’ve found that patients also feel these aspects are important to their well-being, both in the evaluation and care of their medical issues. It is important to me to listen to patients and communicate effectively with them in all aspects of health. I strive to be compassionate and empathetic as we work towards goals of health and wellness.

I have dealt with a lot of chronic pain while Dr. Kern has been my PCP over the last 15ish years. While she was always willing to refer me to various specialists, there were never any answers or resolutions, and I never felt that there was any extra effort from her to try to figure out the root issue and provide me with some relief. She explored a few major options of what could be causing the issue, but when those proved to not be it, she went no further. Some very serious blood work results were completely ignored by here ... read more

She is absolutely amazing! I’ve been seeing her for about 10 years and I’ve never had an issue with her! She’s always very friendly, great with kids, and always listens to your concerns. She’s very good about getting back to you in a timely matter and is great about explaining results. By far the best providers I’ve ever encountered in my life. She also has an amazing team of P.As, MAs, which always is a bonus!

Dr Kern is a great doctor. She listens to what you have to say and her exams are thorough. She looks at the whole and does not simply treat the symptom(s). I have had amazing medical care since I switched to her and am glad I did. It is sometimes difficult to get an appointment, but when I’ve had serious issues she will work me in. I also am pleased with the emessages, which are answered promptly. I would highly recommend Dr Kern!

I took my special needs child to this Dr. An intern was shadowing the Dr for the day. My child repeated a story she'd previously told the Dr to the intern who was typing. The Dr got short with my child & finished her story for her & then said, "RIGHT?" I could tell my child was choking back tears. We have a new Dr. Don't bring a mildly autistic child to a sports Dr from small town who needs to grow up. Message to K.Kern: ANYONE can have a special needs child.

Impatient. Sarcastic comments to my child. Self important.

Dr Kern is one of the best doctors I've ever been to. She never makes you feel like something isn't important and she never rushes you. She caring, compassionate, kind... I'm glad I switched to her last year.

She is the best doctor in this city - hands down. I had gone to another physician and had several misdiagnoses leading to some pretty severe life threatening consequences. She took the time to listen, ask questions and was able to manage my care to get me the best possible result. I should be paralyzed and in a coma from an embolism but thankfully I found Dr. Kern.

Very sweet, knowledgeable, and professional; she devotes to her patients all the time they need, and listens attentively, with a genuine interest. Her support staff could be a bit nicer and more compassionate, but Dr. Kern is well worth that minor inconvenience.
