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. Kessler is thorough, easy to engage with, knowledgeable, and always professional. I hate writing these reviews and usually do not respond, but for her I break my rule. She will be my dermatologist until she retires.

thorough; does not 'rush' through the exam; explains any procedure she feels is necessary; answers all questions even though some may be 'dumb'; cannot ask for a better physician.

I have been a patient of Dr Kessler for many years. She is very knowledgeable, excellent at answering questions, easy to talk to, very pleasant. I wouldn't keep seeing her if I didn't think she's very good.

Great care
I see Dr. Kessler for routine skin checks. She is Very thorough and careful in her examination. Because of her early identification of a couple of cancer spots, I was able to get them quickly treated and resolved. I have received great care from Dr. Kessler, as well as other members of the practice.. I like the staff and the physicians. Everyone is friendly, respectful and professional. They always explain what they are doing during the course of an exam or procedure.

A Top Doc
Appointment was promptly at scheduled time. No waiting. Dr. Kessler is very professional, thorough and completely explains what she is doing and what your problem(s) are if necessary. I felt very comfortable when I left both from her 'bedside' manner and what she did during the visit.

Super friendly and informative
Dr. Kessler doesn't just do an exam — she provides a lot of helpful information about skincare and cancer prevention. SPF-protective clothing and daily sunscreen are not things I've considered before, but they're super important in the desert. Very happy with her.
