Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Run, don't walk away from Dr. Kerner. The rudest "doctor" I have ever had the unpleasantness to encounter.

Utterly rude, pompous and condescending. I had the displeasure of meeting this person and he spoke to me as if I was a problem to him and not a patient. Amazing to me he is in business!

Uncompassionate, rude, condescending buffoon. Horrible office staff. Joke. More of a detriment than not seeking mental health assistance at all.

Maybe he has years of experience, he unfortunately has no respect for patient, he is opinionated, name calling unkempt looking old man. I walked out from visit almost in tears. Never again will I put my self through that again. I had high hopes which wete quickly.
