Dr Kessler is a great doctor, who listens and answer all your question. Sometime the wait may be long, but I know he is the best. I'm very please with the care I receive.

Overall Rating: 2.0 2024-02-21

I was early for My 10:30 am appointment. It’s now 12:08 pm and still haven’t seen the doctor. This is rude and totally unprofessional.

Overall Rating: 1.0 2024-02-21

The doc is now TWO (2) hours late for the appointment. Total bullshit from the staff. This is the worst run office I’ve ever visited.
