He is a member of the American Osteopathic Association and the American Board of Osteopathic Medicine. He is very happy to be returning to his hometown, Chico. Dr. Kermen was born and raised in Chico, attending Pleasant Valley High School and California State University, Chico. The coast was fun, but at heart Dr. Kermen is a Valley Boy. He has spent many hours in Downtown Chico from boyhood (Tower, Shubert’s, Sundance) to college (Top Flight, Upper Crust, Joe’s Bar) to now as an adult (5th St Steakhouse, Collier’s, Raw Bar). “I am very excited to be starting a business in Downtown Chico. I look forward to being a contributing member to the business community and private sector.”
Dr. Kermen’s availability and hands-on work at the clinic help set him apart from other hydration clinics. Health and history paperwork is required before any service and is reviewed by Dr. Kermen on an as-needed basis and consultations are always provided for all clients that may choose the NAD drip, and other customized IV hydration drips.
Dr. Kermen consistently receives referrals from other medical doctors and clinics, seeking service locally. He also collaborates with them to discuss customized plans for the clients.
He and his knowledgeable staff seek to provide the best possible expected outcome that addresses the health and wellness needs of the clients they serve.
