Dr. Kerns noticed my daughter was extremely anxious and nervous, he assured her that he would not do anything without explained what he was about to do first. He gave her time to calm down, talked to her, and did an amazing job at answering all my questions. I was very impressed at how caring he was towards her and not rushing us. Amazing doctor!!!! And nurse and receptionist I talked to when making the appointment were sweet and very empathetic towards our situation. Got us in within a week.
