Dr. Leah Kern is very thorough, concise and thoughtful. She takes her time with you and always does a complete exam starting with the basics -walking each step to make sure everything is covered and addressed. The way she does her apointments is engaging and wants to make sure you feel heard and cared for. This office always responds to mychart messages the same day- signs notes and calls you back with a nurse to address concerns. I highly recommend her for your childs health care needs.
Dr. Kern is a calm, warm, and knowledgeable pediatrician. She is particularly helpful when we have questions about travel and our little guy. I would recommend her to anyone.

Instead of doing what any normal adult would do, stop talking... read more

The benefit of this is those attending physicians would be staying current on recent literature to stay up to date on their practice patterns. Have been very ... read more
