Dr. Kessler is a wonderful doctor and a very nice guy. He was able to pinpoint my neurological problem and find a solution that made sense. I recommend him highly.

I have had the pleasure (unfortunately) to see Dr. Kessler on 3 separate occasions. He was thorough and spent a reasonable amount of time with his diagnosis and suggestions for treatment.

Dr. Kessler completely misdiagnosed me with a stroke. It turned out that a brain tumor had been sitting there all the time, but it took going to a NYC neurosurgeon to find out. Wasted a great deal of time trying to recover from the wrong diagnosis. Found Dr. Kessler to be arrogant and completely uncaring!

Two faced personality and bad bedside manner. Would rather user other physicians in this practice. He is mean and hot tempered.

He gave us about 3 minutes in his office- rushed us terribly. When I called the office to ask to speak to him I was told that he was not going to call me back.They said he was very busyWhat an inconsiderate, egotist.I never heard of a doctor's office say that the dr. would not return a phone call
