A D.P.M. (Doctor of Podiatric Medicine), or podiatrist, is a physician that specializes in the evaluation and treatment of conditions and functions of foot and lower leg below the knee. As many diseases are often first manifested by symptoms in the feet, Dr. Kern is often called upon to point out a patient's possible affliction with other disorders, among them; diabetes, arthrities, and circulatory problems.
There are only a few qualified house call programs providing excellent healthcare to the senior and disabled population in the United States. Dr. Dennis Kern, DPM, is proud to be on the leading edge of healthcare in the greater Chicago area.

According to Dr. Kern, "The geriatric imperative demands that the entire medical community begin to develop strategies to provide consistent quality healthcare for the rapidly increasing geriatric population."Our House Call Division, founded by Dr. and Mrs. Kern was designed to address that need. House calls can help reduce a patient's need for emergency room visits.

I worked for a very short time with Kern Podiatric Group. As a care provider I love the mission to provide foot care to seniors who otherwise may not go the doctor. As an Admin Asst., I saw first hand the care shown to patients and the patients' love for the doctors. However, employment was another issue as the position, particularly work hours were not what I expected. I wasn't informed of their monthly payroll schedule and other benefit information until my first day on the job. The details of this became of great concern to me and so I chose to pursue other employment that met my needs. Overall

Working at Kern podiatric group has been a really great experience. They are a very open arms company. Kern podiatric group really gave me a chance when no one else did and for that I’m greatful. I was able to learn new things and gain knowledge about some things I didn’t even know. There is tremendous growth with this company.The doctors are very wonderful with the patients and the patients receive the upmost care. The staff is very polite and great to work with.

I keep calling about my diabetic shoes but Mrs. Williams keep giving me the run arounds. I like Dr. Kern as my foot doctor but I don’t like how they do business. They can be so unorganized it is ridiculous. I see now that other people have got on here and expressed their disappointments with the company. I must say, now I feel the same way. At the age of 65, it is a good thing I know how to work this here technology because I can look up me somewhere else to go. I don’t like they have my personal information since how they got their office looking I hope no one don’t steal my identity. I

Very rude and unpleasant environment. Mrs. Williams was by far the worst. She is rude and does not know how to properly communicate. The office is unorganized with paper work every where. Very unprofessional!

I met all of their employees, Jessica, dan and Jennifer and they are all on here making fake reviews. Why would employer have you make a review for them? I left after I was told I would get paid monthly and I just felt the phoniness when I was there. The Holy Spirit has never failed me on that. I just knew it wasn’t the place for me. I always had to call a lot for someone to answer the door or phone then it was an older woman named Mrs. Williams with a hearing aid that said she couldn’t hear well. No one was at the desk, it was empty in there. When I saw all the paperwork all over, I knew I

Management has a terrible attitude. You only get paid monthly. I don’t understand why management is so uptight and boujee when their office is a HOT mess! Papers laying around everywhere and no file cabinets, just boxes. If their was a such thing as business inspections, they would fail badly. The whole staff is new and only like two people that’s been there over a year, that’s how bad. You can feel the tension in the place.
