What WE DID WELL
(Answers:674)
as a man and coming in to see a doctor is usually awkward especially a female doctor to look over your entire body. The staff made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. Thanks so much.
#12025-09-05Staff & Doctor were very friendly.
#22025-05-04Beautiful offfice. Doctor was thorough but quick, which was great
#32011-04-04 11:16:27Everyone was very friendly and considerate. I did have to wait a little longer for the doctor to come in but the medical assistant was so polite and came in to offer me a magazine.
#42025-12-23I felt the doctor really took the time to listen to me, as well as explain all of the important medical information.
#52025-11-04The doctor was a good listener and gave clear answers
#62025-04-25Promptness
#72011-06-06 08:59:45The staff was very friendly, helpful and professional. The doctor herself is a pro, I was very impressed and will definitely recommend her to others, especially of my race. Its very hard to find a good dermatologist and I believe she is wonderful and really knows what she's doing. I am glad that I came here, thank you.
#82011-11-10 12:40:32It was delightful to find a physician who really listened! Thank you.

So glad I came. Always liked Dr. Kern and Ann Watson. He'd be so pleased with your entire professional setup
#12025-10-28Service was excellent!
#22010-09-30 13:09:12A little warmer temperature.
#32010-09-09 16:03:32DO NOT CHANGE A THING- YOU FOLKS ARE WONDERFUL!!!!!
#42026-02-17everything was wonderful
#52010-08-25 12:47:35Being able to get an appointment at the time of the outbreak.
#62025-07-07I recommended this practice to a family member but they showed up 15 mins late to their first appt. due to traffic and were turned away (after traveling over an hour to get here). I would suggest on the first visit to allow more leeway for late appointments (try to fit them in) and then explain the late policy for all appointments moving forward.
#72011-09-21 14:47:49I think everything was wonderful. Keep up the good work!
#82011-02-22 09:25:17Appointments on Fridays
