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.

Not Friendly or Thorough
Routine checkup got cancelled because I was out of town just before that day and didn't get lab work done 3 days beforehand. Needed to see doctor due to a medical issue and had to re-book my appointment, which took 4 weeks. Have to have lab work done 3 days prior, HIS ORDERS, or he cancels every time. Never checks BP, heart, breathing, etc. Taps on his computer while snapping out questions. Finished by YELLING at the nurses from outside the exam room door because the computer wasn't programmed to his liking. I discovered from other patients his rudeness is commonly shown.

Do not see this doctor
I have never had a doctor visit like this. Only gave one star because I can’t give a 0. Had a new patient appointment with Dr Kerbacher today. I had been warned by everyone I had spoken to in Ocean Shores not to see this doctor. I thought it would be ok since I am a pretty uncomplicated patient. I was wrong. Came in the room telling me right off the bat that he wasn’t refilling my prescription for pain medication. Asked me 0 questions about how I was. Went through his checklist. Never once looked at me. Put his stethoscope on my chest for 1 second. Listened to one breath in my lungs and felt the rolled up part of my jeans for 1 second to check for edema. Whenever I asked a question he just said I don’t know about that. He was in the room with me for less than 5 minutes. I had waited 2+ months for this visit and was crying when I left the office. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME SEEING THIS DOCTOR. Just drive to Aberdeen.
