Dr. Ross Eric Kerns, MD

I had a surgery Summer 2018 whereas they found a stomach tumor and removed it. They referred me to Dr. Kerns to followup just in case they missed anything. A scan showed something and in Dr. Kerns words "assumed" it was cancer still left. He immediately put me on Gleevec, a horrible pill with major side affects. My monthly visits made me question their experience so I went to Emory in Atlanta for a 2nd opinion. Thank God I did. It wasn't cancer but a hematoma or blood clots left from the surgery that had almost already dissipated on it's own. They then immediately sent me for an EGD (scope down mouth to stomach) where it was confirmed a small clot removed with no cancer markers showing! Why didn't Kerns know or do that? Go to a major facility like Emory or Vanderbilt for anything Cancer!

Takes the time to listen to his patients and you feel he genuinely cares. We need more doctors like him.

Let me preface this review with the note that I've never left a bad review for a physician . I've had the same PCP all of my adult life and see the same Gyn that delivered both of my children. Dr. Kerns would not take the time to listen to my concerns and told me several times to contact my PCP about my health concerns, that had just surfaced since my cancer diagnosis. After I finally realized I was not getting any help I turned to my Gyn who did lab work and helped me realize that I had been prescribed a treatment to be used for breast cancer in post menopausal patients. I trusted him and he dropped the ball.

They treat you like family.

Dr Kerns sees me for CML. He is down to earth and will explain anything that you want to ask about. The staff there is the best!!!!

I was in the last stages of Myelofibrosis. Now my blood levels are perfect.
