Farewell to the wonderful, irreplaceable, and tenacious Dr. Kimberly Kern!

We are sad to lose her but happy that our beloved Dr. Kern is moving on to new adventures! After getting married earlier this year, Dr. Kern and her husband Ryan are moving on to new adventures in the South Florida area.

We all have so many wonderful memories with Dr. Kern, she is the life of the party, the instigator, the one we know will always be there for anyone (at any time of day or night) and who will always be there with a shoulder to cry on.

We will miss her so much and we know all of our clients will as well. With her last days coming at the end of June and early July let's make sure we appreciate her and send her off in style! We wish you all the happiness in the world (with a sprinkle of pet hair) in your new adventures. We will miss you!
