Patient Forms

Got measured at Nordstrom yesterday. 34DDD for now, little bit is swelling remains. PS predicted final size of 36D (similar to 34DD) so I'm close! I was a swished in 34DDD back in my 20s and early 30s, but let me tell ya, they looked nothing like these!!! SO happy!!!

Dr. Kerner is amazing!! She listens and strives to really understand what you want. She had me bring in pictures and really tried to understand what I wanted aesthetically. She is very honest and realistic and will let you know if what you want can or cannot be achieved. She spends time with you, and doesn't make you feel rushed. Her technique is fantastic! I got exactly what I wanted from my breast augmentation and liposuction with minimal discomfort and scarring. I couldn't be happier!

From the moment I walked into Elizabeth's waiting room I felt comfortable and was treated as if I was the most important person her team had met. Each of her team is gracious and kind. Dr. Elizabeth was one of several doctors I consulted with after an issue with an unfinished double mastectomy. I am glad Dr. Elizabeth was the third of 3 doctors I visited with as I was absolutely certain after the consult Dr. Elizabeth was my first and only choice. Dr. Elizabeth completed my surgery on December 21, 2018. An Early Christmas present I am now completely healed from and absolutely thrilled with the results. Dr. Elizabeth is concerned with details whether it is being exactly on time or early for her appointments, precise placement of cuts and stitches or her patient's comfort. Dr. Elizabeth is a dream doctor.... one I wish we could duplicate in all specialties. Thank you Dr. Elizabeth and team! You put me back together better than I thought possible.

… I had a breast aug and a lollipop lift on 1 breast, Scarring is barely even there. She takes good care of you after the surgery too as far as check ups go. I have also had her do some Botox. I would recommend her to anyone. First she lets you bring a bra, you'd like to fit in, and takes it into the surgery room to see if it fits (sterilized of course), she also has pictures pinned up everywhere so she gets it as close to what you want! She's great!

My husband & I have both used Dr. Kerner and the quality of her work is OUTSTANDING! She has an amazing knack for perfection and certainly delivers! Can't recommend her highly enough! I've recommended her to several friends for various procedures and everyone has had fabulous results!

Dr. Kerner has been one of my doctors since 1990. We both have done some moving around in those 28 years but, since she's a terrific doctor and person, I've always stayed with her when I needed her expertise and or guidance. Her office staff is great too, and have been with Dr. Kerner for a long time. It's been great to have such continuity - especially with her and her Office Manager, Jennifer. I look forward to going there whenever it's necessary - Jennifer and the other staff are always so bright and cheerful when you walk in the door. There's never been an issue (insurance, etc.) that didn't get resolved in an extremely timely manner. Whenever I've needed a referral, Jennifer has been "johnny-on-the-spot" and gotten back with me timely. Dr. Kerner is one of my most favorite doctors, and her office atmosphere is excellent - friendly, peaceful, relaxing. What a great office!

[Dr. Kerner is] totally awesome.

Dr. Kerner, Jennifer and all the other wonderful staff at her office have taken great care of me and my family for over 20 years. They have all helped me through some very scary and unsettling news, met my physical and emotional needs, and have always done this with impeccable grace, sensitivity, and always with a smile on their faces. They are ALL truly a Godsend to me and my family. There is never a doubt in my mind that when I am in need of the type of care and services provided by Dr. Kerner's office, it will be her and her capable, compassionate staff that I will turn to!

I have had a breast augmentation and partial lift with Dr. Kerner and I had great results. The scarring is fantastic and you can tell she took such care when she made incisions (You could barely see the scar at 4 months!-NO JOKE!). I have recommended her to three people I know so far and would trust her with any cosmetic surgery I needed.

This is my second procedure with Dr. Kerner.  I am extremely happy with both procedures.  Dr. Kerner set very realistic expectations for each of my surgeries -- the results were incredible.  Also, the way she treated me, showed she cared about my every concern -- she even made herself available during Thanksgiving day if I needed her.  Dr. Kerner and her team are true professionals.

Dr. Kerner and her staff have been taking care of me and my youngest son for several years now. I've been very pleased with every experience in her office and from her staff (and considering I'm in the medical field and am extremely picky). I've had many skin cancers removed and had an allergic reaction to sutures and bandaids, but Dr. Kerner and her staff worked with me to find the materials that work for me instead against me. Dr. Kerner is well respected in the medical community and deservedly so. West Plano and Dallas have plastic surgeons on every corner and Dr. Kerner's is the one I want to be in.

Dr. Kerner excels in both her technical and her people skills. She is very personable and a great listener, you can't help but feel comfortable discussing your needs and desires. She fully explains her recommended approach and why she recommends it while also outlining other options and their relative merits. Her staff is both attentive and helpful.

Dr Kerner is so nice, very understanding, easy to talk with and very much a perfectionist! Will take as much time as needed for consultations, pre-op, surgery and post-op as necessary. You will never feel rushed! You will always feel important and valuable to this Dr. practice.

I love Dr. Kerner and her staff. She was my second doctor interview once I knew I had cancer. My daughter and I both fell in love with her and her staff. I've been her patient for 5 years now...will not change.

Dr. Kerner is an excellent surgeon and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a really good plastic surgeon.  She is super professional, highly qualified and is Board certified.  She made me feel very much at ease and explained the surgical procedure in really good detail. Her staff is excellent as well and the environment in her office is quite pleasant.  Glad we have great doctors like Dr. Kerner in the medical profession, we need more like her!

Dr. Kerner is meticulous in her detailed understanding. Very clear there is no guesswork. I can see what people mean who say she is a perfectionist. Very warm, friendly and laid back, but also a perfectionist. I love that. I felt welcomed, relaxed and was never rushed. She took the time to be sure I was comfortable and understood the answers to all of my questions. By the end of the visit I felt like I was talking with a good friend who also just happens to be this fantastic surgeon. I was completely taken care of. It is so clear Dr. Kerner takes pride in her work and truly cares about her patients even after their surgery. She is a wonderful person. Excellent doctor and staff. Excellent experience overall. Great location. Excellent hospital facility. Her knowledge of the medical field and the human body is just remarkable. Her skills as a surgeon are exceptional. Her technique is perfect. As a doctor, I don't think there are many doctors in the North Texas area who even come close to Dr. Kerner. I feel extremely fortunate and blessed to have found her.

As an adult I often thought about having plastic surgery done on problem areas but honestly would probably have never gotten it done if I hadn't repeatedly heard from different people how good she is. I am perfectly delighted with the outcome and wish I had known about Dr. Kerner a lot sooner.

I have had two surgeries with Dr. Kerner and both were very successful. She is kind, and experienced and as much of a perfectionist as I am. She has a great staff, and all of them make the experience as pleasant as possible.

Dr. Kerner lifted my upper eyelids as I had lost a lot of my peripheral vision from the weight of the extra skin on my lids. Her staff worked hard to get insurance approval, and they were very helpful. She did my lower lids at the same time, and it made me look at 15 years younger. Now I see much better without getting headaches while reading, and my appearance is rested and refreshed, but still me. I am very happy with my results and would certainly work with Dr. Kerner again if the need arises.

I have no words to describe Dr. Kerner. She is the BEST of the BEST!!! Very respectful, wonderful bedside manners, punctual, detail oriented, perfect work, I can go on and on. Her staff is amazing!! Excellent group of women, for her staff to work that many years for one doctor speaks volume.

She made me feel relaxed. When I was referred to her my OBGYN, my OBGYN’s exact words were “if I could put my life in her hands, so can you. You have nothing to worry about”. That says it all.

Dr. Kerner knows her stuff!! She is a thorough surgeon, her outcome are superb! Her incisions are precise, clean, and well approximated. I cannot say enough. I’ll got her over and over again. At my 6 months follow up, she looked at a tiny surgical scar that wasn’t even noticeable and said she would revised it! That scar was alright by me! She revised it at no cost!! That’s perfection at its entirety! You won’t regret ever going to her!

Thank you Dr. Kerner for helping me get my confidence back!!

It's been more than 7 years since I lived in the Dallas area. While I've had doctors in two other states, they simply cannot hold a candle to Dr. Kerner. When I'm in Texas - she's my 'go-to'. Her staff is more than accommodating and I've never been disappointed. Whether it's a quick facial or something more complex I know I can trust everyone to be courteous, prompt and offer absolute platinum level products and services.

Dr. Kerner put me at ease during my consultation and prior to my surgery. Surgery went very well and recovery was a breeze. I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable and caring surgeon.

I can recommend Dr Kerner with no hesitation. Any accolades I might use would not be high enough. Add to that her genuine kindness. At each step she explains what to expect next. Many doctors pawn these steps to their staff. I would never go anywhere else.

Dr. Kerner is caring, compassionate and an exceptionally skilled surgeon. I have had two procedures and am completely satisfied. Dr. Kerner makes you feel at ease and certain that she has your best interest in mind. I trust her implicitly.

Dr. Kerner has taken care of me many times with various skin cancers. I have "white coat syndrome" and am afraid of doctors. She always puts me at ease and has such a wonderful bedside manner. She is kind and caring, and she does excellent work. I can't even find most of my scars!

She has also given several excellent referrals to other specialists, and I'd trust her with absolutely any medical need I have. She has also cared for several of my family members, and we wouldn't go anywhere else.

Dr. Kerner is not only an outstanding surgeon, she is compassionate and extremely calming. I have seen her over the years post op with concerns and she is always thorough. Dr. Kerner and her staff understand a patient's fear of surgery. They are kind and compassionate and very helpful. They are always available for questions. I have referred several patients to Dr. Kerner. I would highly recommend her and her staff.

Dr. Kerner is an excellent surgeon and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a really good plastic surgeon. She is super professional, highly qualified and is Board certified. She made me feel very much at ease and explained the surgical procedure in really good detail. Her staff is excellent as well and the environment in her office is quite pleasant. Glad we have great doctors like Dr. Kerner in the medical profession, we need more like her!

Dr. Kerner's work is excellent. She has treated me for many skin cancers over the years, and the resulting scars are hard to find. She is compassionate and doesn't mind my nervousness when undergoing procedures. She always puts me at ease as does her kind and helpful staff. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking plastic surgery.

Dr. Kerner performed nothing short of a miracle on my wrist injury. She is the absolute BEST in Dallas!! I give her 10+ stars!!

You all have helped make wonderful changes on the inside and outside of me, and my life is so much better for it.

There isn't a high enough recommendation for Dr. Kerner.  She repaired a bad cut on my hand in her office, saving me thousands of dollars from an emergency room visit. It healed perfectly.  She also removed a large skin cancer from my nose, and the scar is invisible.  She is an exceptional surgeon, and I am very happy with my results and the care I received from her.

Dr. Kerner has been the very best and I have the highest trust in her. I'm a huge scaredy cat and she eased all of my fears with, determination, compassion, and honesty. I am extremely glad I chose her.

Hard to believe its been 10 weeks! Loving my boobies and enjoyed not being remotely self conscious at the beach!!! Ended up buying 4 colors of the Cheyenne bras, not cheap but fit me like a glove (34DDD and slimming) and SO soft! I am blessed to have had a very easy recovery! No complications really at all, Dr Kerner did great work! Could not be happier! Posting some pics, Happy July 4th all, God Bless America!

Great Doctor and wonderful staff. Why trust your face to anyone else? She is so good that you need to schedule in advance because they are busy. But you walk in the door and you're treated like you’re a VIP.

I could not have found a better, more experienced cosmetic surgeon. I am delighted with my results and the procedure and recovery were both a piece of cake. I have recommended Dr. Kerner to my friends and even colleagues. Keep up the excellent work!

I had my plastic surgery done in Plano TX after recommendations to go see Dr. Kerner. From getting older my earlobes had become longer and droopy. Right there in her office at Presbyterian Hospital Plano she examined me, drew a few lines and explained how the whole thing would work. The price was very reasonable, the results are perfect and I simply cannot see any scars on either ear. Great job by a great plastic surgeon.

 

Dr. Kerner has treated my daughter as well as myself and did so with such care and expertise. Her calm demeanor made us all feel at ease and we knew we were in great hands. My daughter's wound was stitched up and healed amazingly with hardly any scar, which was great since it was on her face. We love Dr. Kerner and her staff, which are all amazing!

I saw Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Liz Kerner in her West Plano office. I found her work to be precise and her advice thorough. She described accurately what I should expect and what my recovery would be like. Her office was relaxing and easy to get to and her entire staff was excellent. I would trust her with any future cosmetic surgery I or my family may have.

Helpful staff, always willing to answer questions and helped walk me through the process every step of the way.

This review is LONG overdue! Dr. Kerner was highly recommended to me by OBGYN as well as my Urologist. What a blessing that I decided to take a chance with her. From my first appointment, procedure, to my follow ups, she exceeded my expectations for care and understanding. She always listened to my concerns and helped me feel at ease. Dr. Elizabeth Kerner has over 25 years experience, precision and is very detail oriented. If you're looking for a plastic surgeon, you can feel rest assured you found a top notch doctor in her! Always a pleasant experience with the rest of the staff too and that goes a long way as well in my book.

I was referred to Dr. Kerner by a family friend and had a tummy tuck and breast implants replaced in November of 2018. Dr. Kerner and her staff were amazing at being informative about every aspect of the surgery and recovery. They made me feel so comfortable about undergoing an elective surgery and my pain was managed very well. My results are absolutely amazing! I have never in my life felt comfortable with my tummy or in a bikini, but I finally feel comfortable in my own skin. I honestly can’t thank Dr. Kerner and her staff enough for helping me along this amazing journey with such wonderful care. I am extremely happy I chose Dr. Kerner and would recommend her to anyone!!

What a really top notch office staff you have. Not only are they very supportive of you, but they are very good to your patients.

Best surgeon around. Really listens and did exactly what we wanted with great results. Always on time, which happens nowhere else. Staff is great and really helpful. Great experience all around.

Dr. Kerner has a wonderful bedside manner and explains thoroughly what can be expected. She gives her honest opinion about results to be achieved and she delivers on her promise! Because she is so gentle with tissue during her surgeries; there is minimal bruising and pain and the results are wonderful! Her follow-up care is great and I wouldn't trust my face/body to any other surgeon.

I would definitely recommend Dr Kerner. My total experience was outstanding. Dr Kerner's demeanor is wonderful. She is caring & compassionate. She listens intently & answers questions fully. Susan, her assistant is wonderful as all of her staff. Scheduling was prompt & all of her staff are respectful & very helpful. I definitely recommend Dr Kerner.

I developed at a really young age - about 9 or 10. The people around me made me feel so uncomfortable and awkward about my body. Ever seen Carrie where the mom called her breasts dirty pillows"? That's what I felt like being sexualized so young . I even think a family member called them that once (jokingly). I had very large pendulous breasts since high school, very hard to find bras, had severe back pain, shoulder groves, and even shortness of breath especially during exercise from the weight alone (Didn't help my asthma any). My breasts have always drawn far too much attention. Friends and strangers wanting to play with them, comment on them. Getting all sorts of cat calls mostly from nasty old men. I couldn't go to the grocery store without stares. Recently I was at the mall and a group of teens walked by. One of the boys in the group muttered "look at them overgrown a** [RS bleep]!" This has been a common occurrence in my life. It was time to get surgery. I was horrified at the idea but my mom pushed me so hard to and I realized it was a necessity. Several consultations later, I found a great PS. I was upset that the only available day to get the operation was right before Christmas and my birthday because we met our insurance deductible and it had to be done by the end of the year to be covered. But I knew it had to be done and will be well worth it. Not sure about grams per side but had 9 lbs. in total removed and still a nice D cup. I honestly cannot believe I was carrying that much weight around.

I went to see two other plastic surgeons regarding breast augmentation, both males. They both urged me to aim for larger and larger implants. As a runner and a workout junkie, I wanted smaller implants that would be more proportionate and fit my lifestyle. Dr. Kerner was the only one of the three who listened to my wishes and asked me to bring a lot of pictures to show her what I wanted. I knew that we were on the same page, and I love my new look! I enjoyed every aspect of my surgery and follow-up with Dr. Kerner and her wonderful staff, and I'm happy to recommend her to others.

I could not give Dr. Kerner too high a rating. She was very helpful all the way through. Dr. Kerner has all the people skills and does excellent beautiful surgery. If something is not going to be perfect she tells you so that after you are completely healed the imperfection is so minor you wonder why she mentioned it. She sees you at every appt so you know she cares. I have not been paid to write this.

Dr Kerner excels in both her technical and her people skills. She is very personable and a great listener, you can't help but feel comfortable discussing your needs and desires. She fully explains her recommended approach and why she recommends it while also outlining other options and their relative merits. Her staff is both attentive and helpful.

She took me right in. She taught me how to take care of it after surgery. She also worked around a hair follicle. She took care of everything. I have no scar or anything; you cannot tell that there was ever anything there.

Hard to believe it's been 4 months since my BR! Best thing ever!!! No neck or shoulder pain whatsoever! Blessed with a very easy recovery and no complications! Dr Kerner's work was fantastic! Bought my first strapless bra (36DD) to wear with halter maxi dress and got SO many compliments, felt awesome! Still lots of work to do on shaping up the rest of me, but all in good time! Cheers to all my boobie sisters out there!

When I had a basal cancer discovered on my face, she walked me through the entire process and took care of the final stages of cosmetic closure and healing. People can't believe I ever HAD a procedure, as there is virtually no discernible scar. I recently had some filler work done before my daughter's wedding, and Dr Kerner and staff helped me feel beautiful for the special day. Dr. Kerner always explains things thoroughly, and there is so much benefit from her years of experience. I love her low-key, friendly demeanor that is the perfect pairing to her surgical skill. I also love the atmosphere of the office. The team always takes time to make patients feel welcome, and there is an air of peace and calm among the entire staff. I agree with other evaluations stating that Jennifer is a wonderful face for the practice - gracious, friendly, super-knowledgeable, and helpful. Belinda and Sally are ideal medical staff - experienced and very knowledgeable, efficient and friendly, while again contributing to an environment that is very peaceful and relaxing. The entire team is the perfect combo for the types of procedures and services they provide. From the first moment to the last, you're getting the best there is! I would go nowhere else but to Dr. Elizabeth Kerner!

Dr. Kerner is awesome. She’s clearly got experience and thinks of details even you don’t think about. Far exceeded my expectations!! They value time in waiting area and address every concern. Your procedure is spelled out on exactly what to expect. Excellent choice in her!

I saw Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Liz Kerner in her West Plano office. I found her work to be precise and her advice thorough. She described accurately what I should expect and what my recovery would be like. Her office was relaxing and easy to get to and her entire staff was excellent. I would trust her with any future cosmetic surgery I or my family may have.

You are my plastic surgeon for life! I cannot stress enough how wonderful it is to be made comfortable when going through a plastics procedure, and you all have perfected the art. Thanks for always doing your best!

I carefully researched a LOT of Dallas plastic surgeons and cosmetic surgeons also in Plano TX, Frisco and Fort Worth. When I was done with my research, I finally chose a female Dallas Plano plastic surgeon Dr. Elizabeth Kerner, MD. She'd treated thousands of patients over 30 years in Dallas and Plano and has a rock-solid reputation. That meant a lot to me. Her experience speaks for itself in the quality of her work and her attention to detail. I wanted a surgeon with an excellent education & certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and not some other similarly-named outfit. Dr. Kerner was very personable and connected easily with me, asking all the right questions to understand exactly what I wanted and what my preferences were. She treated me like I was her only patient of the day. After talking with me, she examined me and took some measurements and recited some technical remarks and directions to her nurse who entered everything into their computer.  After she fully understood what I wanted and asked questions to help me even better refine my vision of what I wanted, Dr. Kerner showed me and explained exactly what she could do, and exactly what to expect in my procedure, my recovery, and my outcome. She made it very clear that my satisfaction and the outcome I wanted was paramount. My outcome has far exceeded my expectations, hence this long review. Everything she had told me turned out to be exactly true and accurate but even better than I expected. I feel blessed that I found Dr. Liz Kerner as my Dallas plastic surgeon and would never, ever consider another.

My experiences with Dr. Kerner have been great! She has removed a few moles for me over the years. She and her staff have always been friendly and accommodating. She's very professional and personable, and she puts you at ease with the procedure. I highly recommend her!

I have been a patient of Dr Kerner since the 1990s. She has been fabulous for small cosmetic procedures such as dermabrasion and sclerotherapy for spider veins, as well as dealing with the much more major aftermath of skin cancer Mohs surgery. Her closing and treatment of that wound on my face left virtually no scar. Dr Kerner has a calm and pleasant bedside manner and a low-key but entirely thorough way of explaining all treatment. She is gentle and methodical while at work. I appreciate her Christian ethic of wanting to serve Christ through her treatment and care of all people. Her staff is superior in their friendliness and professionalism. Presbyterian Hospital, as a faith-based facility, is the perfect setting for an excellent doctor such as Elizabeth Kerner. I am grateful to have had the privilege of being cared for by one of the finest plastic surgeons in practice.

I have debated getting liposuction for years and I finally decided to take the plunge. I had consults with 2 doctors, Dr. Kerner was my second consult and 5 minutes into my consult I knew she was the doctor for me. She and her staff made me feel comfortable with every aspect of the procedure and outcome. I absolutely love her, Jennifer, Belinda and Sally!! I now find myself trying to find reasons to go in and visit all of them! They are my plastic surgery family that make me look my best! Love my liposuction and my Botox!! If you are debating any procedure I highly recommend her and her staff!

Dr. Kerner is awesome. She’s clearly got experience and thinks of details even you don’t think about. Far exceeded my expectations!! They value time in waiting area and address every concern. Your procedure is spelled out on exactly what to expect. Excellent choice in her!

As smart as they come. A super surgeon not only knowledgeable & skilled but also a warm genuine person. I'd trust her with any surgery. Top-notch facility too.

I was referred to Dr. Kerner by a family friend and had a tummy tuck and breast implants replaced in November of 2018. Dr. Kerner and her staff were amazing at being informative about every aspect of the surgery and recovery. They made me feel so comfortable about undergoing an elective surgery and my pain was managed very well. My results are absolutely amazing! I have never in my life felt comfortable with my tummy or in a bikini, but I finally feel comfortable in my own skin. I honestly can’t thank Dr. Kerner and her staff enough for helping me along this amazing journey with such wonderful care. I am extremely happy I chose Dr. Kerner and would recommend her to anyone!!

Dr. Kerner and her staff are true professionals. I've had two procedures with her and have come away extremely happy. I believe her ethics are second to none - she actually talked me out of a procedure that would not have resulted in a good value. Dr. Kerner is the most personable physician that I've ever had -- she made sure all my concerns were addressed.

I love Dr. Kerner. Before I saw her I had seen a few other surgeons. None of them diagnosed me with the breast abnormality that I had which Dr. Kerner diagnosed me with. Dr. Kerner was completely honest and explained to me that the breast surgery she was going to perform to correct my abnormality is an extremely hard surgery. Even though it was a difficult surgery, she made me feel 100% comfortable and I trusted her completely. I am so happy I chose her to be my surgeon. If I ever need anymore surgery, she is my go to doctor!!!

Now that I have healed, I can honestly say that I cannot think of any way that Dr. Kerner could have done more to improve my experience. Dr. Kerner takes you through the process in a steady calm manner. She listens to what you want. She is kind and is there for every appt. I have a friend whose daughter had the same surgery that I did but she didn't have Dr. Kerner so her experience was not as perfect. I can truly say that I recovered wonderfully. In my case, I was expecting much worse pain while I was recovering. I am now six months out from surgery and my breasts are beautiful.

Dr. Kerner has done two surgeries for me. WOW - barely notice any scars. She is very meticulous and honest, she is fun and funny, laid back and just plain great. Highly recommend Dr. Kerner for any plastic surgery you may need or even for Juverderm/CoolSculpting. Just a great experience.

What a great doctor and staff. Dr. Kerner is a very good communicator and went over all the options for my surgery. She mentioned things other doctors did not and helped me make a smart choice. Sally and Balinda are great nurses and really helped me after surgery. Jennifer worked so hard on getting my insurance company to do what was right and was so helpful. This is the place you want to go if you want great care from a great team. I could not be any happier with my experience and my results.

Dr. Kerner excels in both her technical and her people skills. She is very personable and a great listener, you can't help but feel comfortable discussing your needs and desires. She fully explains her recommended approach and why she recommends it while also outlining other options and their relative merits. Her staff is both attentive and helpful.

Wow I was 38 years old and had a lower face lift and she made my face look 7 years younger without the pull look. She is gentle and very caring and wants to make you happy! I had my breast done 7 years ago from her also and that was a great out come also. It's so scary to do something like this that changed your appearance forever. But you can feel safe going to her. She is very detailed.

Dr Kerner led me through all the steps in such a way that I was always comfortable that I was in good hands. I don't think anything could have been more perfect except an irritating nurse in my one night stay in the hospital. I called Dr. Kerner & she called the hospital to remedy the situation. I know a four hour surgery cannot be easy but one could be fooled by her steady calmness. I can't express the beauty she created that I get to look at every day. I am more than pleased. Thank you again, Dr. Kerner. Relax, she will take care of you.
