Kern Brar, MD, CMD, HMDC — legal name Karanbir Brar — is a board-certified internal medicine physician and the founder of A Personal Physician, a concierge and executive medicine practice serving Encinitas, Oceanside, and La Jolla, California. He is certified by both the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) and the National Board of Physicians and Surgeons (NBPAS), and carries the Certified Medical Director (CMD) and Hospice Medical Director Certified (HMDC) credentials, reflecting more than 15 years of work across hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and assisted living settings. Dr. Brar earned his Doctor of Medicine from Ross University School of Medicine, completed his internal medicine residency at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center — a Thomas Jefferson University–affiliated program — and pursued additional neuro-intensive care training at the Mischer Neuroscience Institute, UT Health Houston. That hospital-forged training now anchors a very different kind of practice: at A Personal Physician, Dr. Brar caps his panel at roughly 200 patients, trading the volume of conventional primary care for longer appointments, same-day visits, and direct 24/7 access to his physician. At the center of his concierge medicine model is prevention. Dr. Brar builds each wellness plan around advanced diagnostics that reach well past a standard physical, including subspecialized lab panels screening more than 100 biomarkers, Galleri multi-cancer early-detection blood testing, Prenuvo whole-body MRI, and Fit3D body composition scanning. His executive medicine programs extend into medically supervised weight loss, obesity medicine, and structured high-intensity interval training (HIIT), built on the principle he returns to often: that great medical care starts at home. What distinguishes Dr. Brar across Encinitas, Oceanside, and La Jolla is continuity. He personally consults on patients who require hospital admission and follows them through skilled nursing or assisted living, a level of supervision that reduces medication errors and closes the gaps most patients fall through. It is a standard trusted by a discerning clientele — many of his own patients are practicing physicians who have chosen him for their personal care. For those seeking a more human standard of medicine, A Personal Physician offers a rare pairing of hospital-grade expertise and concierge-level attention along the North County San Diego coast.
