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 listened to everything I had to say and answered my questions and even listened/answered when I brought up a theory I had about my care/problem. And we discussed it. It made me feel heard.

Dr. Kerr is a kind and sympathetic, caring and intelligent doctor. She listened to all my concerns, because I'd just lost my sister to pancreatic cancer in October. Because if my situation she is referring me to the cancer clinic at VM so I can talk to them about this and any hereditary aspects to neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer. She gave me time to talk this was so comforting. [...]. She was wonderful and I felt like I am on my way to meeting with the experts in this area.

If you ask a question, she answers it but gives too much information, assuming I know nothing. I feel like she talks down to me.

I really like Dr. Kerr as a PCP. She takes the time to listen to my concerns. She proposes options for care and leaves room for me to ask questions and make decisions about my care. I appreciate that she educates about symptoms and management, treatments, etc.

Once we got started she seemed unhurried and connected to my case. This was my first time with her so it was a lot of catching up type questions. Hope tardiness was a one time issue. Have annual in August.
