Patient Reviews
Jul 26, 2019
Dr Kerns did a total thyroidectomy in January 2017. Dr Kerns and Leslie Kerns are two of the absolute best! He is very competent and professional in addition to being an excellent surgeon. I barely have a scar and would go back if I had any other surgical needs in the future.
