Not even ONE better doctor in St Louis.

I am convinced that Dr. Fern is the absolutely best doctor we have among the st louis community. I have referred all my friends and family to him - he is truly one of the great doctors who doesn't just pretend to care or what to get you out of his office, he really is concerned for you and his energy and life and humor lights up your day! I don't usually care for doctors today with their rushed attitudes and disbelieving in anything you are going through as real. But this doctor is completely opposite of that.

First time I saw him, he took me off guard with his super friendly personality and attention to listening to my concerns. He then gave me options and said what he thought we should do. I was so happy right off the bat that he was so concerned and such a good listener.

I have been a patient of Doctor Fern's for nearly 4 years. He diagnosed my Celiac Disease, and Overgrowth Bacteria, and any time I have a problem, he tries to help me address it the best he can from his field. He has helped us with medicine costs immensely as well. A truly caring doctor that in my book should be a mentor for all the doctors who are heading into the field. If all doctors were like him, then the world would be a much better place full of a lot healthier people.

Thanks Doctor Fern for your many years of service.
