I have been seeing Dr. Kern for several years now. Prior to my twenties I had a moderate acne problem and was using another dermatologist, who prescribed several topical solutions that were relatively successful in solving my problem. It wasn’t until I was in college that a family friend suggested Dr. Kern and my family began using him as our dermatologist. Dr. Kern has a degree from Duke and operates his practice out of an office connected to his beautiful home on the bay in Brigantine. His practice has a small-town family feel(think Everwood– if you were a fan of the WB in high school) and his staff are cordial and accommodating. I noticed a difference in the care and personal quality of service at Dr. Kern’s office, in comparison to doctors I’ve had in the past. I no longer require acne treatment, but Dr. Kern prescribed my sister with an oral acne medication that she has had great results with. My mother also sees him to treat a mild eczema problem. I still see Dr. Kern once or twice a year for checkups and schedule microdermabrasion treatments with his wonderful, board licensed Esthetician Angelica Rossino. I can’t say enough positive things about Angelica. I usually schedule 3 consecutive appointments with her a year, to clean out my pores and refresh my complexion. I always enjoy the experience and the noticeable difference the microdermabrasion treatments make — it’s like a fresh start for my skin. Angelica is extremely friendly and caring, she loves what she does and always carries a cheerful disposition. In addition to treating my skin, Angelica also administers laser treatments to my mother, who has also had great results and an enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Kern’s office.
