Patient Reviews
Aug 07, 2023
This is more about my long-term experience with Dr. Kessler. I was assigned to him after my cancer was diagnosed. Every step of the way he was up front and honest about my treatment which helped significantly as I worked through the process. He offered me the opportunity to participate in a study to determine if chemotherapy could be reduced in patients like me. As a consequence, my personal chemotherapy was reduced to only 3 months. I felt confident in the treatment as it appeared I was examined much more frequently than non-study participants. Every visit with Dr. Kessler was a positive experience to the point I looked forward to them! Couldn't have been in better hands.
