Simply the best. Dr. Kerner has performed two significant procedures for me over the course of a few years, one recent (2020). In addition my partner and I have consulted with her on numerous other procedures. She is thorough, thoughtful, knowledgeable and a skillful surgeon.
The sub-procedure reactions to her work on me were this: "Wow, you look great!" Never, "Oh, you had some work done." As a continuing client, I highly recommend her.l

Dr Kerner has treated our entire family for over 10 plus years. She and her office staff provide incredible service and treat you like their own family. We initially trusted her with our 17 year old daughters face after being told by another doctor that she would require a massive skin grapt and a lifetime scar covering the majority of her face in order to remove her rare type of mole. Dr Kerner immediately put us at ease and assured us that wouldn’t be necessary. She performed an in office procedure that left our daughter with absolutely no scar and no further problems.

Dr Kerner is a perfectionist with her craft, her bedside manner is top notch. Her attention to detail and execution is bar none. She genuinely cares about each patient and it shows in the results of her work. Highly recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Kerner performed cosmetic surgery on me in May 2019. She is hands down the BEST! From the initial consultation to the final check-up she was professional, knowledgable, skillful and also made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease. She provided great care and performed an amazing surgery on me which brings me so much confidence. Her nurses and staff are all amazing and deserve gold stars! I highly recommend Dr. Kerner! She's awesome!

I had surgery on 10/14/19 with Dr. Kerner. Hands down the best plastic surgeon ever. She is professional, caring, honest, has the "BEST" bedside manner, and above all she makes sure your surgery is "SAFE" for you to have. I have been in the medical field for over 30 years, and it is "RARE" when you find an "EXCEPTIONAL DOCTOR". She deserves the "BEST FEMALE PLASTIC SURGEON AWARD"! Also, her staff/nurses are the "BEST". "THANK YOU" for taking such good care of me. Also Baylor Surgicare in North Dallas, took "GREAT" care of me. I want to also thank them for being professional, caring, and above all keeping me “SAFE”.

I was referred to Dr. Kerner by a family friend and had a tummy tuck and breast implants replaced in November of 2018. Dr. Kerner and her staff were amazing at being informative about every aspect of the surgery and recovery. They made me feel so comfortable about undergoing an elective surgery and my pain was managed very well. My results are absolutely amazing! I have never in my life felt comfortable with my tummy or in a bikini, but I finally feel comfortable in my own skin. I honestly can’t thank Dr. Kerner and her staff enough for helping me along this amazing journey with such wonderful care. I am extremely happy I chose Dr. Kerner and would recommend her to anyone!!

My Search for a Dallas Plastic Surgeon:
I did a LOT of research and the information may be useful to others.
Dallas has LOTS of plastic surgeons. I was looking for certain qualities that are important to me:

1. Experience - I wanted a surgeon who had performed lots and lots of procedures over many years - not just a doctor who's done lots of procedures all crammed into a few years

2. Knowledge - a surgeon who would answer my questions in detail, ask the right questions of me, and make the right recommendations for me.

3. Skill - a surgeon who is very detail-oriented and takes great pride in their work and their patients' outcomes and well-being.

4. Patience - I had a lot of questions and concerns and I wanted a surgeon who would meet with me personally and make me feel genuinely cared for.

5. Thoroughness - I did not want a surgeon who rushes through as many patients as possible, to make as much money as possible, in as short a time as possible. I wanted a surgeon with a keen attention.

6. Price - I was not looking for super-cheap bargain basement surgery, but also not over-priced.

7. Integrity - I wanted a surgeon whose words match up with their patients' outcomes and who respects my time and schedule. If my appointment is at 3, I expect to start at 3. Someone who will tell it to me like it is, so I would know what I am getting into, and what to expect and whether or not my expectations were realistic.

8. Safety - I was shocked to see a number of practitioners out there I felt uneasy with, some with very questionable records of safety, disciplinary actions and lawsuits. Their websites made them sound great, but often left out worrisome facts that I found only after careful research on the internet.

9. Trust - from past patients in the form of good, believable recommendations. I'm not looking for hundreds of unrealistic reviews. I wanted to hear the truth, both good and bad.

10. Location in the Dallas-Fort Worth area or North Texas for my convenience. I was surprised to find surgeons who claim to have locations they do not actually have, or who list their location multiple times under different names with just slightly different addresses.
I wanted someone who is who they say they are, who goes by their own name so that I can look into their background, and who is located exactly where they say they are located.

11. Reputation - in the form of exceptional standing with regulatory agencies and their colleagues. No disciplinary actions, suspensions or lawsuits.

12. Education and certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and not some other similarly-named outfit. Until I started my research I had no idea that some people practice plastic surgery who aren't even plastic surgeons. Dentists, internal medicine specialists, plain old doctors - lots of kinds of medical professionals can seemingly just start calling themselves a plastic surgeon and they're off to the races. I was really surprised to see how many plastic surgeons are out there who say they are 'Board Certified' rather than certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which I found is easily verifiable online.

13. Respect of peers - I wanted a surgeon who other surgeons respect and admire who is known in the plastic surgery community as having a reputation for excellence.

14. A great staff - In my experience a doctor's staff can make or break a practice. I wanted to find a surgeon with superbly qualified nurses and assistants who mirrored the qualities of excellence I was looking for in my plastic surgeon. I didn't want do deal with a staff who raised my blood pressure or left me feeling uncertain before going in to have my plastic surgery.

15. I wanted my procedure to be done in a very safe, accredited, rock-solid facility. Not some odd hole-in-the-wall place in a strip mall by the side of the road, or right there next to some off-putting location. I was hesitant when I saw the actual offices of some plastic surgeons was very different than the impressions they made and the photos they had posted online. Again I was surprised to see so many plastic surgery outfits setup in a location where you'd expect to see a barbecue joint. I did not want a surgeon who cuts cost with their facility - perhaps at the cost of my safety. I wanted to be sure I was in the best environment possible in any contingency.

16. Lastly, I wanted to find a surgeon who is a good, solid 'whole person'. I wanted to find a doctor who not only excelled in plastic & cosmetic surgery but who was also active in their community, church, family, charities, organizations - whatever. Someone who contributes back to the world and community they are blessed to serve.

My outcome has far exceeded my expectations, hence this long review. Everything she told me turned out to be exactly true and accurate but even better than I expected.
I feel blessed that I found Dr. Liz Kerner as my plastic surgeon and would never, ever consider another.

Dr. Kerner and her staff are true professionals. I've had two procedures with her and have come away extremely happy. I believe her ethics are second to none - she actually talked me out of a procedure that would not have resulted in a good value. Dr. Kerner is the most personable physician that I've ever had -- she made sure all my concerns were addressed.
