Patient Reviews
Aug 26, 2022
After meeting with two other surgeons in the Pensacola & Gulf Breeze, FL area and encountering nothing but huge egos, attitude and little compassion, I gratefully met Dr Kern. He was direct, attentive and knowledgeable. I underwent a spinal fushion L3 - S1 in July 2019. Completely changed my life... and four years later I am still 100% pain free.
