Both my husband and I are always impressed with Dr. Kerr. As senior citizens, we have many issues and questions. Dr. Kerr is extremely patient, attentive and helpful. She takes her time to explain things to both of us. She is obviously caring and knows medicine. We both agree that she is the best primary care physician we ever have had. She even laughs at our poor jokes.

Dr. Kerr is a professional kind and caring physician. She listens to my concerns and encourages me to take care of myself. I have a fear of health care- which she understands- it is because of her I have made progress in my healthcare and routine exams.

I am aware of the time restraints in appointments but Dr. Kerr never makes me feel rushed, she is always open to conversations about health and is a partner in the pursuit of ongoing good health. Responds to MyChart communication quickly and thoroughly. In the past, I was reluctant to go the Dr., appointments were intimating and limiting.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
