Dr. Frank Kern, MD

I went to Dr. Kern for a routine dermatology exam. I had what I believed to be scar tissue on my abdomen. Dr. Kern felt this did not look routine to him. Although I had various checkups over the years and this was not identified as a concern. He biopsied it, and it is a rare sarcoma that has since been removed and thankfully caught before it spread. Which he called before the biopsy came in. This man is so smart he had never seen this type of tumor only saw it presented in conference. It is literally one in a million. He also identified a spot on my arm that I had not noticed but I know was not there very long. This was melanoma. Also caught early removed with clear margins. Dr. Kern's expertise, thoroughness and skill has essentially saved my life. He is kind, and a true patient advocate. He and Maryann supported and comforted me and my family during the stressful time of waiting for results. He referred me to a specialist to remove the sarcoma and has checked up on me… several for a progress report. My husband indicates that he is a super hero. I cannot say enough about this doctor. Having been in healthcare for over 30 years I have crossed paths with many great physicians. A bonus is he has excellent surgical skill as my melanoma scar is barely noticeable. If you want a great dermatologist go see Dr. Frank Kern.

Finally found Dr Kern after seeing so many MDs not ready to take on my cystic acne. Now he's seeing the next generation.

Professional, Mensch of a Doctor!!!
