Review for Dr. Kessler
My mom had severe cellulitis in her leg. Dr. Babbar didn’t give up on finding the correct antibiotic to heal her infection. He came to see her frequently in the hospital and made sure she was improving. My family appreciates his dedication to doing things correctly. He went the extra mile to help...

Dr. Kessler is thorough, easy to engage with, knowledgeable, and always professional. I hate writing these reviews and usually do not respond, but for her I break my rule. She will be my dermatologist until she retires.
