Dr Kersten did a Rotator cuff surgery on me and both sides on my husband. His surgery skills are outstanding! He explains condition and procedures well. He listens to what I have to say and is very thoughtful in his answers. He shows that he truly cares about his patients.

Dr. Kersten was a very nice man. Very kind. He listened to my concerns and answered any questions I had before surgery. I healed very quickly and my elbow joint is working as well as it did before my injury. There were no major recovery issues and little to no complications. He wanted to make sure I was doing fine and if I needed anything to call his office. I did have an appointment a long while after surgery and he made every effort to make me more comfortable and checked the positioning of the screw. With so much experience, he has learned that its the patients who benefit.
