I have had knee pain for many years. Ive had injections and therapy I knew I needed a knee replacement but was scared I saw 3 doctors and Dr Kessler was the most qualified and so wonderful. The staff was considerate. The appt was efficient. Dr Kessler took his time and talked to me and answered every question and concern I had my knee replaced and he treated me like I was family I never felt alone He always called me when I had concerns. The surgery went so great Within weeks I was walking with out any cane and off medication. every visit we sat and chatted. He helped me get through a difficult surgery and my family and I are so grateful. He is kind, considerate and always concerned about my wellbeing. Any time I called the office, they quickly returned my call and made sure I was very well taken care of. Such a wonderful man and doctor.
