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.

She saved my life!
She saved my life! I went in to the emergency room because of AFIB she instructed me to be run through the CAT scan and that reveled the Cancer on my adrenal gland. Well needless to say that opened the door to the twilight zone and after enduring the 'CURE' It'll be coming up on 3yrs now that I'm still here and doing better than ever! I've got 2 yrs of clean scans under my belt and my blood work is perfect! THANK YOU Dr. Kern! The English language doesn't have words big enough to really express my thanks to you. Everyone else after you helped but you were the trigger point to a new journey of finding myself

This lady gave me contradicting information than what my primary Dr gave me then got a attitude when I was questioning things, rightfully. She also profiled me asked me if I did meth then drug tested me without my knowledge. Ironically she tried to give me opioid's three times after I refused them. She also described the hernia that was causing me great discomfort and pain "just a little hole you can push the tissue back in through" As if despite pain and discomfort that limits my physical abilities I should just push my intestinal lining back inside my abdominal cavity and go on about my life and quit sniveling. Perhaps I should wait for the problem to worsen before its deemed worthy of actually concern and care. She is a QUACK

Terrible experience by this doctor. The day after I was treated by her I was hospitalized for 13 days and sent by ambulance to Seattle for the same issue that she repeatedly belittled me for. She appears very sweet and kind at first and then really behaves in a way that leaves you feeling as if your medical issues are a result of something you have done. I’m sure she sees her fair sure of self inflicted issues in her profession, but it’s not fair for her to treat everyone in that manner. This doctor is clearly extremely intelligent and could be great at what she does. She appears quite young and I hope she takes some of this negative feedback and really considers it as a possibility rather than just disgruntled patients.

Horrific experience with this MD after I sought emergency care. She is immature, condensing, unprofessional, and cruel. Please go over your medical records if you have the misfortune of being treated by her.

The patience and caring time that Dr. Kern took with me was very comforting when I went to Multicare Spokane Valley today. She was very thorough and didn't order any unneeded tests. She is a perfect doctor.

Patronizing, *terrible* communicator, hates when patients have questions, raises her voice in frustration, loud enough for all to hear, if asked more than two questions, tries to intimidate, rolls her eyes, told me she was "doing [me] you a favor" by giving me a printed copy of my MRI results, told me at the ER that they were going "above and beyond" for me - when in fact I was in the *exact* same condition I was upon arriving. She did not honor at least three legal patient rights. She would not even give me an ice pack for my injury and I was in great pain.
