Michael J. Kearns
Otolaryngologist
I grew up in the Sacramento area. Actually, I am still growing up in the Sacramento area. After graduating from Jesuit High School in Carmichael, I moved away for many years for education. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to return to the area and have my parents close. My mom lost most of her hearing at an early age, and this influenced my career decision to ENT. My wife of 40+ years teaches grade school Spanish in Carmichael. It has been my honor and privilege to treat patients at Sacramento ENT now for more than 20 years.
