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.

Great guy
Dr Kearns is thorough and professional always
Excellent
Personable, helped me face a reality check, did not push surgery on me but gave me truthful info and options to move forward. First appointment with him and yet I felt completely comfortable
My shoulder feels better after that shot. Thanks, Doc!
Always so professional, friendly, and knowledgeable
Was too quick fast and in a hurry. Felt like questions were accusatory like I was lying. Told him pain got much worse over years but I’ve been complaining since my incident. He wanted me to bring m try I with me but it was almost a year old and I went through a series of horrific events healthier and with my home so I couldn’t find it. When I told nurse and she heard how old mti was she said he will order a new one because it’s old and per insurance they have to do cray first. I exploding cray does not show my problem and she said they still have to do it first for insurance to cover mri. I told doc I couldn’t find mri and he said he pulled up report which showed tears. During exam a lot of pain was under elbow but when he pressed inner elbow I told him I felt pain which over time is radiating down arm and he says well it’s not that much pain like back of elbow. But it was pain in both areas including going down arm from inner arm. End result he did nothing for my problem.
Very caring and knowledgeable!!
