He and his team charged me over 5k after telling me they wouldn't process anything without my consent. Kessler also did an ultrasound EVERY chance he got which is not supposed to be done charging multiple claims with my insurance. He advised my sister to get her tubes tied and said it would be free under her insurance and it was not. He scams people out of money through their insurance.

Dr. Kessler is a helpful, knowledgeable, and caring physician who truly cares about the well-being of his patients. During my 1st appointment, he told me that I would have to lose some weight in order to have a safe and healthy pregnancy. Being a bariatric patient I was annoyed at first because I had already gone through the motions of losing weight- frankly it wasn't an annoyance at him or his delivery but an annoyance at myself that after all my hard work and dedication I had in fact started to gain weight again! Dr. Kessler gave me the WAKE UP CALL I didn't WANT but NEEDED! Dr. Kessler began explaining the tools I needed in order to get my body ready to start trying to have children- it wasn't as simple as "go off the pill" which is honestly what I thought it would be. I did everything Dr. Kessler said and I am down 30 lbs and continuing to follow his guidance and recommendations in order remain healthy and when the time comes to successfully get pregnant and have a safe and healthy experience. I appreciate the fact that he didn't waste my time as many doctors do, he has even called me after hours a day or two after one of my appointments if he wasn't sure on an answer to a question he researched it and called me to talk to me about it! I have never had that with a doctor before, I appreciate his sincerity and commitment to his patients. Sometimes in life we have to put in effort to get something we want, Dr. Kessler simply shows his patients what effort is needed and then it is up to us to accomplish it to get what we want. I look forward to continuing this journey with him, if you are looking for a physician who isn't just phoning it in to get a paycheck, call Dr. Kessler's office and schedule a visit!

After my experience today I will not be returning to this office. The only reason I’m giving 2 stars is because the office staff was very nice as well as the office was clean and had a pleasant atmosphere. You’ll probably have a great time and experience here if your in “Dr Kesslers weight range”. I was greeted nicely at front desk and went into the office Dr. Kessler was very kind at first and we looked at my baby and everything was well and healthy. He went on to ask me if I have any issues. I told him about how I have Cysts on my ovaries but according to my previous OBGYN they were nothing of concern. Without any testing, bloodwork, family history, etc Dr Kessler told me I have PCOS which started to upset me of course because no one wants to be told they have a disease/syndrome they never knew about. So that at first started to upset me, then he went on to confront me about my weight. It’s definitely something that needs to be spoken about but there is definitely different ways to work this to people. I’m over 200lbs I see griffin facility physicians and have always had issues loosing since I was put on and taken off BC. but since I got pregnant I’ve been extremely good with my health, I have a active job and have been swimming eating fruits and veggies. Instead of asking me about what I was doing about my health he began to scare me telling me about all the chances of preclampsia, Birth defects etc. I can cause my baby by being overweight. As I wasn’t already actively trying to lead a better lifestyle. THEN proceeded to tell me that he WILL not deliver my baby if I gain anymore weight because I am a liability to him and a anesthesia risk. So of course I wish I could have held it together but being 8 weeks pregnant and emotional I started crying because I’m finding out I have a disease, he won’t deliver my baby, I have other stressors as I’m working 50 hours a week pregnant. He then proceeds to ask me if I ever seen a therapist, I used too when I was very young but in general I’m a happy person don’t let much get to me. My boyfriend came with me to my appointment and was shocked by what was being said and even tried to chip in to tell him how good I’ve been with eating and how happy I usually am. But I digress instead of doing any normal prenatal work ups he just continued to speak on my mental health the entire appointment till there was no time for testing. He told me then he wanted me to fill out 2 pieces of paper work before I left. As I was leaving I was given 2 slips of paper which were mental health screenings asking if I ever want to harm myself or If I’m currently depressed, can’t handle most situations etc. All because I was emotional due to my pregnancy because he stressed me out between telling me he will not deliver my baby if I gain anymore weight, that I am going to cause my baby health risk, that I have PCOS etc as stated above. He made me feel like a mental case because He told me all these bad things. I understand once again things need to be brought up but STRESS is not good for the baby and you saw it bothered me so I don’t know why he felt the need to dig deeper and upset me further. As this isn’t a part of a prenatal appointment. Needless to say that I RAN from this office and will not be returning. I do not recommend Dr.Kessler especially if your over weight, have any health issues, or your experiencing being emotional from pregnancy like 95% of women experience. Because apparently then your considered to be mentally ill or at risk for PPD. I am extremely happy about my pregnancy and my baby and after going in so excited I came out miserable. I will never go to a doctor who makes me feel otherwise.

Dr Kessler treated me for a ovarian cist and couldn't have been more knowledgeable and compassionate, he took the time to listen to everything i was worried about and always asked if i had any other questions. He walked both myself and my husband through the procedure/ surgery and made us feel very comfortable. There's no one else i would recommend, they don't get any better the Dr. Kessler.

Dr Kessler is a true gift. He cares about his patients and isn’t into just pushing pills down your throat. So many people don’t realize what chemicals in our day to day products are doing to our systems and I appreciate his blunt way with explaining reality. If you are someone who likes to play the victim or who is not ready to see him, he may not be for you because he will be blunt and he will tell you things that hurt to hear, but you need to hear it. His tough love shows he truly cares about you and your well being and I wouldn’t trade him for the world.

This man basically told me to lose weight and get over my anxiety if I want to have a baby. Within minutes of meeting me he wrote the meds I take in a white board and crossed them all off while stating “ you have to get off all of these now”. These meds are for anxiety and depression from a psychiatric aprn that I have worked with for 10+ yrs. He had a medical intern that I honestly hope gets a new mentor because he will only learn how to be an arrogant condescending dr.
