Dr. Kershman and his team provide a level of expertise, dedication, attention to detail and friendliness that is truly exceptional. Prior to choosing Dr. Kershman, I consulted with a number of facilities that provided Invisalign but they did not inspire the kind of confidence that I felt the moment I walked into Dr. Kershman's office. From my first visit I knew that I would be exceptionally well taken care of and never doubted that the end result would be perfection. I was certainly not disappointed! Throughout my treatment, I looked forward to every single visit knowing that I would receive the utmost care and concern to ensure an excellent result. The staff were extremely efficient and delightful at all times. Even during the time of pandemic, Dr. Kershman went to extremes to protect the safety of patients, and staff without compromising the level of dedicated care with enduring friendliness throughout. I am absolutely confident in recommending Dr. Kershman to anyone who is considering Invisalign. It is never too late - I am 72 years old, but my teeth look about 22! I am a very, very happy patient!
