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.

Dr. Kissel is a great doctor!

Dr. Kisswl
Dr. Kissel has replaced all four of my favorite joints. He works at St. Vincents Hospital, which is well-versed in Orthopedics. Over all, he has done so many of these operations that he has seen it all and will take care of you.

Dr. Kissell helps me explore all options, is not pushy about surgery. He spend sufficient time to answer all my questions. He did surgery on other knee, seven years ago. It was very successful.

Everyone was so kind.
Everyone was so very kind, from the receptionist to the doctor. The nurses and Dr. Kissel made us feel very comfortable. They were not in a hurry and answered all of our questions. They gave us a lot of information that we could understand. They explained everything in detail.

Every staff member, from reception, Radiology, the P.A., the guy who fitted me with a knee brace, and some guy standing at a computer who answered a question to Dr Kissel himself, acted professionally yet friendly, busy but not rushed, and as if they were actually happy to be there, doing their jobs and helping me. I felt like I could not have been in more capable hands, which is important, since I will most likely be having knee surgery during a pandemic. I recommend this group wholeheartedly.

Dr. Kissel did an excellent job replacing my left hip joint. Excellent surgeon , Precise and to the point advice. Sets you up with home Health care and home physical therapy for the first two weeks after surgery. Two weeks out and I’m going upstairs. No pain! Do your physical therapy as instructed and you will do great! Cynthia Glover
