Dr Kerns is the best ENT I have come across besides Dr Stepnick at Case in Cleveland. He understands and respects my extensive ENT history and me as a person. He truly listens to me instead of dismissing my questions unlike all the other university physicians I have regretfully had to deal with. This will be the ONLY uh doctor I will retain. EVER. He leaves and I will follow.
