Patient Reviews
Apr 27, 2023
Dr Kerkar has offered me genuine human care for over 10 yrs while guiding me through very poor health to an extended period of being undetectable. In 2012 I was in hospital for a hip replacement. I was surprised & delighted when she suddenly appeared in my room just because she learned I was there. She came by to visit me. This had nothing to do with her treatment for me. It was simply an expression of her paying attention and her caring. I appreciated that so much. I remain very devoted to her and so grateful for all the time, expertise, advice & just good doctoring she has provided me.
