Dr. Kesselman treated me for an acute chest infection, in which I ended up recovering. One of the top critical care specialists in the entire state, no doubt about that.

Dr. Kesselman is one of the most incredible physicians I have ever encountered, both as a patient and a man ER registered nurse. Howie is gentle, kind and understanding.extremely easy to talk to and his clinical acumen and skills cannot be beaten. He’s wonderful provider.

Dr. Kesselman is brilliant, kind and listens to what I have to say and thoroughly investigates what would be the best course of action to properly treat whatever issue presented. I trust him and am very grateful to have him.

He is a terrible physician, unable to focus, rushes around. Seems too busy to stop and speak with you. Awful.

I've had 1 appointment that he has kept-it was the 3rd scheduled. I was there 15 minutes before my due appointment time and waited 45 beyond. He spent most of his time with his face in a computer. Appeared smug, was dismissive of any input from me as to my health. Implied that I was lying when I said nasal sprays give me nose bleeds by saying there weren't many recorded incidents for certain prescribed sprays. Seemed to find it amusing that I needed a physician's letter to keep Nat Grid from shutting off my electricity because I need a budget plan due to using an oxygen concentrator. If I can find another doctor in the area and covered by my insurance, I won't be going back to him.
