Patient Reviews
Sep 24, 2023
Dr. Kern has been treating my husband’s and my shoulders for almost three years. We know replacements are inevitable, but we agree to wait as long as possible to do so. In the meantime, he has given me (and my husband) intra-articulate cortisone shots when the pain begins to interfere with daily life. Let me tell you, the man is the best cortisone shot giver we’ve ever encountered (and I’ve encountered many). We both think Dr. Kern is a great doctor!
