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. Kerchner is a friendly Dr. with great bedside manner. Very thorough with her exams, My husband and I both see her every 6 months. He loves he as well.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kerchner?
Worse nightmare of my life , MOHS SX Dec.2012 , performed by Dr. Kerchner. I had to leave after 8 months of horrific aftercare , I would not allow myself to be treated badly anymore. Still have significant pain and eating/ speech issues even after having to have oral surgery in which a traumatic neuroma was removed - it could only have come from previous Mohs surgery. And again , everyday all day , I live with constant pain as well as numerous other issues. Please listen !!
