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.

Dr Kerner is a caring and helpful podiatrist. My experiences have been excellent over a long period. He carefully explains what issues must be addressed and the various options for doing so. His gentle manner and obvious respect for his patients is commendable, and I would highly recommend him to others. I might add that he has a wide variety of interests and quickly puts patients at ease. Likewise, his office staff is helpful and friendly

As an athlete, I appreciated Dr. Kerner's understanding of how important it is to me to continue training. Many doctors will say to just rest for a period of time. But Dr. Kerner, an athlete himself, explained what steps to take beforehand (stretching, warming up) in order to continue training.

I've been a patient of Dr. Kerner for over 30 years and my whole family goes to him. He listens to his patients and is patient, most of all he's very thorough. You can always get an appointment within in 2 days. I will highly recommend him and his staff is excellent.
