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.

Sometime after midnight in late December 2016, in the emergency department of John Muir Hospital, Dr. Kessinger helped my husband make a very difficult decision about continuing chemotherapy for glio blastoma multiform, stage four. Dr. Kessinger listened, understood the medical and personal situation, provided straightforward and useful information in a caring and professional manner. This helped my husband made his own difficult decisions with some measure of clarity. Thank you Dr. Kessinger

Dr. Kessinger knew immediately what he would do after hearing about my husband’s condition. He solved the problem decisively and brought big relieve to us. My husband walked in the emergency room with so much anxiety and pain, and walked out feeling so lucky to have met Dr. Kessinger. We cannot thank him enough. John Muir is very blessed for having such an outstanding ER doctor.

I dislocated my replaced hip twice. Taken to ER and was lucky enough to have Dr Kessinger reset it both times in a timely and painless manner.

He was wonderful. He was smart. He knew right off that bat what my daughter may have. I looked him up to see if he has an office to be seen. Unfortunately he is only in E.R.
