Patient Experience Reviews
My daughters had a suspected broken nose. Dr Kern's got her in right away for an appointment and was able to get her in for a CT scan and surgery within a day of each other. We are very happy with our experience with Dr Kern's and his staff along with the staff at the surgery center.
Excellent service. Great doctor
I am Very grateful to have this dr.
Dr. Kerns is such a good Dr. That he has many patients which means long waits to be seen. ***
Dr. Kerns was very professional and caring about my health situation. His team was amazing at the *** office for my surgery, answered all questions, explaining procedures, side effects, meds, do's and don'ts, aftercare, long term effects everything!! The surgery went well, the medical team was just amazing. I have a high tolerance for pain and low tolerance with meds. After I woke up from my surgery, I had no pain and the anesthesia didn't have me groggy or nauseous. I felt normal that to me spoke volumes. I had no post surgery pain neither. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable, patient and they will be the only medical team I trust with my medical care. They were nice to my family that accompanied me for my surgery. Amazing experience and I highly recommend Dr. Kerns and his staff. Thank you for taking great care of me Dr. Kerns!!

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.
Dr. Kerns is very personable and explained everything very well to not only me, but to my daughter as well. He is thorough and efficient and the office is very accommodating. Highly recommend!
