Patient Reviews
Mar 28, 2024
Dr. Kessler did a fabulous job on my procedure. He also did my wife's and Mother in law same procedure. Today is day three of recovery and I have been in very minimal pain. The incision sites are healing well and I feel great. His staff and surgery team were fantastic. The staff at Baptist Health General surgery in Richmond were very kind and very good. I would recommend all of them if you need outpatient surgery. May GOD Bless you Dr. Kessler and your staff!!
