Dr. Kenneth Kearns is a Board Certified, Fellowship trained Shoulder & Elbow Orthopaedic Surgeon who specializes in arthroscopic surgical procedures, joint replacements, minimally invasive procedures, as well as upper extremity fracture care from the clavicle (collar bone) to the elbow.
Born and raised in Ohio, Dr. Kearns had a taste of the northeast during his orthopaedic training. After a few years in private practice in New York, Dr. Kearns returned to Philadelphia and joined the elite upper extremity physicians of Philadelphia Hand to Shoulder Center in April 2016. “I ventured to New York City after having completed my Orthopaedic Residency and Shoulder & Elbow Fellowship training in Philadelphia, but NYC never felt like home. My wife and I missed Philadelphia, and could not be happier to return and raise our family here.”
Dr. Kearns takes great pride in his bedside manner and ability to listen. “My mentors taught me that 90% of the diagnosis comes from listening to the patient. I strive to treat each patient as an individual and take the necessary time to fully understand the problem in order to implement my expertise and provide the best care possible.”Dr. Kearns’ focused and personal approach to medicine is appreciated by his patients and the physicians who consistently refer their patients to him for his treatment style and surgical expertise.
Dr. Kearns completed his undergraduate studies at Colby College in Maine and then returned home to attend The University of Toledo School of Medicine.
After medical school, Dr. Kearns entered the Orthopaedic Residency Program at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. While a resident, Dr. Kearns was not only recognized as a superb surgeon, but as a cutting edge research physician as well. During this time, he received recognition and awards by both the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation and the Pennsylvania Orthopaedic Society. He also was the recipient of the Jerome M. Cotler, MD & Philip J. Marone, MD Award, which is granted to one resident each year for demonstrating outstanding excellence in leadership.
Lastly, Dr. Kearns fine tuned his skills at the internationally renowned Thomas Jefferson University Hospital/Rothman Institute Shoulder & Elbow Orthopaedic Fellowship Program.

Very thorough!!!
Great work
Excellent surgeon! Takes his time and explains everything. Pleasant demeanor.
Dr. Kearns All i can say is that if you are having any issues or pain with you Sholder please go and see him. He will let you know what is wrong with you and give you your best option to get you back to your normal. I had Sholder replacement surgery less 3 months ago and I feel great and going to get the other one done ASAP. The have a fantastic staff that will help you with everything from setting up your appointments with the Dr. And your physical therapy after surgery . You can also go into their portal before your appointment to set everything up to save time when you get to the office so you can be seen right away that says everybody time.
Hands down Dr Kearns is the BEST there is! I can walk in there feeling crappy and walk out like a million bucks. My shoulder always feels great after my visits . Can’t thank DrKearns and his entire team enough.
very informed and knowledgeable extremely pleasant
Awesome
he’s a great doctor when I have my shoulder done no nursing home no rehab and telling my doctor I want a nurse there to take care of a woman wise therapy at my house
I cannot recommend Dr. Kearns enough! From the very first appointment, he made me feel comfortable, listened carefully to my concerns, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. His professionalism, skill, and genuine care for his patients are unmatched. What really stood out was how thorough he was—he never rushed me, always answered my questions, and gave me confidence every step of the way. Thanks to his expertise, I’ve experienced significant relief and can truly say my quality of life has improved. The staff in his office are also fantastic—friendly, efficient, and always willing to go the extra mile. The entire experience has been positive from start to finish. If you’re looking for an orthopedic doctor who combines knowledge, compassion, and excellent bedside manner, Dr. Kearns is the one.
Kind and caring doctor.
