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.

Only saw Dr. Kernis once. However, the staff is extremely unprofessional. A staff member named Ryan told me that a staff member named Nicole dressed up as a dominatrix bunny for Halloween. Ryan also doesn't know how to keep his hands to himself. Nicole was saying that she felt like a gigantic condom in her Halloween custome. All this took place during my stress test. Apparently, patient care is not a priority there.I wonder if Dr. Kernis knows how his staff behaves when he's not around.

Dr Kernis was great in the beginning but turned on us the second we had info about meds he had prescribed. He walked out in the middle of the appointment and referred us to someone else. It was very uncomfortable and unprofessional! Would not recommend he apparently had a GOD complex!

Great doctor, really listens to you. The staff is so friendly. I have never experienced more than a five minute wait in the waiting room. Highly recommend this practice.

I had a sports physical for school and was told to see a cardiologist. This was very scary and stressful. I called Dr Kernis’s office and he scheduled an appointment right away. He sat with me and explained everything. He ran a few test and was able to release me to play. I am so happy I chose him! He made this experience a lot less stressful.

Dr Kernis. Thank you for restoring my health and expediting my procedure. I followed your rules and I did not play until Wednesday afternoon. I don’t look like Barney anymore and while still a little tender, I was able to participate in 2 games. I went 3 for 6 and turned 4 double plays. I’m amazed at what you can do and very thankful for it and you. Richard Hess

He takes his time and explained my husband's situation to me and our daughters so very well. I forgot, my grand daughter who is a nurse gives him an A PLUS.
