I have to say my impression of Dr Hershman is very different. Years ago I took my daughter there. She was to have a tooth at the top of her mouth exposed. Dr Kershman came into the aged room and placed tools that did not appear sterile on a towel. He didn’t have an assistant and asked me to leave the room. I refused, I’m not leaving my daughter alone. He was very angry that I wouldn’t leave. That is huge red flag and I certainly didn’t want her alone with him. My daughter was also uncomfortable and we left feeling disgusted. This was about 7 years ago and still thinking of this. 👎🏻

All 4 of my children have had treatment from Dr Kershman. The oldest had teeth pulled, head gear and expanders in the early 2000s, metal braces for child #2, a Herbst appliance and expanders for child number 3, and pulled teeth, expanders and Invisalign for the youngest who just wrapped up her treatment today. Over the past almost 20 years Dr Kershman has been exceptionally professional in his treatment of each of my children. His office staff are second to none. I can honestly say this is the best business I have ever dealt with! Always, punctual, always professional, with amazing results. I highly recommend Dr Kershman to anyone who needs Orthodontic work done for their children.

I am extremely pleased with the results of my Invisalign treatment. I would like to thank Dr. Kerschman for fixing my smile and my bite. His expertise and professionalism are touch notch. I would strongly recommend Dr. Kerschman to anyone seeking orthodontic treatment. His staff are very friendly and helpful. He explained my treatment plan at the start so I had a clear idea what to expect. Plus the computer generated results from the Invisalign program were cool to see the final results at the start of the process to keep me motivated. Thank you and your team for all the hard work !

I do not usually write reviews but this is a very well deserved review.
I have been a patient at Dr. Kershman’s office since long ago when I was at a much younger age than I am today, he installed my braces and changed my teeth to perfect teeth like no other orthodontist could do. When I first went to see Dr. Kershman he was so kind, professional and extremely knowledgeable that he was my #1 choice orthodontist.
After I removed my braces many years later the wire cement chipped during a dentist cleaning visit at another clinic. That other clinic hygienist chipped my wire cement and booked me with their dentist who could not do the work to fix it properly, he did such a terrible job that my lower tooth was going to chip. I left the horrible other dentist’s office so disappointed and immediately drove to Dr. Kershman’s office. When I walked in the receptionist was courteous and I had no appointment but Dr. Kershman accepted to see me even though he was extremely busy without an appointment and on short notice. Doctor Kershman fixed my urgent problem caused by the other dentist office. He fixed my urgent painful problem so perfectly well that the other doctor couldn’t do. If anyone is looking for a great exceptional doctor do not hesitate to see Dr. Kershman he is the best most experienced doctor in town and I am a very demanding patient. I cannot thank Dr. Kershman enough for seeing me quickly and for fixing my last minute urgent problem at a very reasonable price. He is a life saver giving many people perfect smiling teeth and I am happy I have chosen Dr. Kershman, my teeth get many compliments because of his exceptional experience and expertise. Very grateful for his great, honest and kind care. Thank goodness we have a doctor like Dr. Kershman in town.
