Hello. I had a very good experience with Dr. Kerner. I think the only thing, my appointment was an urgent psych appointment, and it was just a follow-up regarding questions about medication. But he had asked me to fill him in about what had been going on, and then our time ran out, which of course makes sense because it was just a follow-up, but I didn't understand that we were going to have... He didn't tell me how much time we had, which I understand because he didn't want me to make me feel rushed, but I feel like my question did get answered, but I would have spent more time asking specifics about medication and given less information about my history.
