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.

Professional and practical
Dr. Kessel, After reviewing my MRIs and x-rays and physically examining me, knew immediately what I needed.

Dr Kessel is Outstanding
She listens to the patient, doesn't rush, explores options and, when things are bad, makes the extra effort to help out, whether it's squeezing in an appointment, following up with the patient, ordering additional phys therapy, etc. She strives for the best solution, not the easiest one.

Back pain from severe spinal injury
Dr. Kessel was well informed about my injury before the visit - she had obviously studied my file. She recommended trigger point injections for my pain. They had a dramatic effect of reducing the pain within 24 hours. Very thankful to her!

Love her-
She is personable and reasonable, and quick. ! I have done the GEL shots for a number of years and cortisone shots with her, and they have changed my life and warded off something more dramatic.

Warm, wonderful, skillful doctor and staff.
I have spinal stenosis. Periodically I visit Dr. Kessel for treatment. Recently I was very uncomfortable walking, sitting, etc., and I had a trip scheduled to Europe in just a few days. I called and Dr. Kessel was able to slip me in the same day! Now I’m looking forward to my trip pain free! So kind of her.

Dr Kessel is always friendly but professional . Best part is that she always helps me and offers the relief I am seeking. .Her laid back attitude is always relaxing and puts her patients at ease . She is also an expert in giving injections and I am often surprised that is much less painful than anticipated. Thank you Doctor Kessel !

Dr. Kessel provides great care
Dr. Kessel provided exactly the care I needed. She read my X-rays, performed an exam to determine the intensity and extent of my injury, and prescribed a course of treatment without requiring surgery. I will definitely go back to her if I experience injuries again.
