I had visited several other eye surgeons and had heard of Dr. Kershner's reputation. He did my LASIK surgery. His office was the best, Dr. Kershner really cared about me, answered my questions, calmed my concerns and the results of his surgery was simply fanatastic. I never dreamed I could see like this! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Kershner.

One of the best surgeons I have ever met. I guess that is why Doctors themselves see Dr. Kershner. I heard about him from my Doctor for whom Dr. Kershner had done surgery. He thinks he is the best in the U.S. and after having him do my surgery, I definitely agree.

Dr. Kershner came highly recommended. He took an exceptional amount of time explaining carefully each aspect of my exam and the results of my eye tests. He even discovered a hidden disease I was totally unaware I had.I would recommend him to anyone.

I asked friends about who was the most knowledgeable, and best trained specialist in the eyes in the state. Several people I know mentioned Dr. Robert Kershner. It seems he has had lots of training has performed thousands of surgeries, and one of the best doctors I have ever seen. Caring and skilled, that's the ticket!
