Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

he has a terrible bedside manor. does not engage patient in any personal talk. walks in, reads the Nurses report, says see you next appointment and walks out out .does not really give time for questions. Acts Very Self Important. will be changing Doctors. Office staff not much better. very long wait for an appointment.

Finally some answers
I did a lot of research before choosing Dr Kessler. I am 76 years old and recently diagnosed with A-fib. My previous cardiologist said “Your tests are fine. Take these drugs and come back in a year”. No explanations. Dr Kessler was very responsive to my questions and concerns. Finally have some answers. Would highly recommend.

Dr Kessler is the BEST!!!
I have Afib and was struggling to function on a daily basis. I was referred to Dr Kessler. Immediately I respected his professionalism and expertise. He scheduled pacemaker procedure within 1 week and saved my life. He is a Gem, his entire staff is wonderful and his surgical team outstanding. Dr Kessler is not only a brilliant electrophysiologist he is kind & smiling which comes from within, a great feeling to receive heartfelt compassion. I dont know where I would be without him. Im grateful and blessed he is my Dr.

Dr. Kessler - one of the BEST!
I too have seen many doctors in my 73 years, Dr. Kessler ranks right at the top! Couldn't be better in knowledge, procedures or bed side manner. I don't know where I'd be without Doc Kessler.

Would Not Recommend Dr. Kessler
I would not recommend Dr. Kessler for a Cryoablation of the heart. He told us he performs about 40 procedures per year, it's not enough procedures to be proficient. My procedure had quite a few complications. His bedside manor is quite cold and uncaring. We found another DR. and would never see Dr. Kessler again.

I suffer from A-FIB. In 2014, I volunteered to have Dr. Kessler perform the "Lariat" procedure to eliminate a breeding ground for clots that could cause a stroke. I believe I was the first patient to have the procedure performed by Dr. Kessler. He did great, no stroke, after 3 years. I have been off blood thinners since the day after the surgery. He has followed up on my progress on a regular basis. I greatly respect his professionalism and expertise. I would highly recommend Dr. Kessler.

I have seen many Doctors in my life, Dr. Kessler stands above them all. After many ups and downs over the past 10 years he is my most trusted Doctor. I have no doubt, I owe my life to this man. If you're looking for a EP Cardiologist, you found him.

Wonderful staff! They fit me in for an appointment after I got out of hospital. He also scheduled me for a procedure right away. Dr. Kessler is a wonderful doctor who cares about his patients. It's a great feeling knowing you're in good hands with a knowledgeable and compassionate Doctor.
