After more than 3 years with dr Kershman, and having done a tooth removal, invisalign treatment, and wisdom tooth extraction I can say he is the best orthodontist I have ever been treated by. Him and his staff have done absolutely incredible work for my teeth and health. I can't recommend them enough.

I recently completed my braces treatment with Dr. John Kershman, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. John Kershman worked tirelessly to ensure my smile became exactly what I had always wanted. The attention to detail and dedication to perfection truly set them apart. The transformation of my smile is incredible, and I am endlessly grateful for their expertise and care. Additionally, the entire staff is amazing and lovely. From the friendly receptionists to the skilled assistants, everyone made me feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire process. The office is always welcoming, and appointments are a breeze. Thank you, Dr. John Kershman, and the entire team for giving me a beautiful smile. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking orthodontic care!

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. 👎🏻
