Dr. Kern and his staff are extremely rude. He refused to do my procedure because I had taken my medication an hour ago before my appointment with a little water. He then told me that my anti-anxiety medication was psychotropic and not necessary. It was very judge-y. Perhaps, if Dr. Kern would treat his own stress with medical help he wouldn't need to treat it by eating 25 cheeseburgers per day. He seriously needs to work on his bedside manner and stop insulting patients.

Took my 90 -year mother here for an extraction and they kicked me out of room for the Procedure. She was crying and traumatized when they let me see her. She said Dr. Kern has a very bad bedside manner and that she will never go back there again. In addition, according to her dental plan, she should have been charged $120 for a simple extraction. Instead they charged her for a surgical extraction, which they did not do and a consultation which never happened. A total of $260. They said they always bill for surgical extraction and a consultation regardless. Not happy with them treating a 90 year old woman this way

Dr. Kern was extremely informative and friendly. He performed two extractions (one was an implant put in by a different dentist) completely painlessly - even from the anesthesizing needles. Staff is also friendly and accommodating. Later, he put in an implant completely painlessly, even though a sinus lift was also required.
