My daughter goes to see DR. Kershman and we have always had pleasant visits with all staff, he is thorough and to the point, my daughter is comfortable and thats what matters, He takes the time to explain what he needs to do and why with both myself and my daughter, Great office and staff

rough and impersonal office is EXTREAMLY outdated...would not recommend

I thought my response to the poor review would be posted but since it was not - I felt that my review of Dr. Kershman's office should be posted. I actually see Dr. Kershman for orthodontics (he does both orthodontics - straightening of teeth) and periodontics (treatment of gum disease). I want to start by saying I work in the dental field - I manage a dental office (but I don't work for him). Melissa (has a sense of humour and smile that makes it a joy to go to appts) & Lena his administrative staff are amazing. He has a nice chairside manner - and he's got a kind heart. He's thorough, articulate, and he explains treatment options well. I have always been taken punctually and been treated with kindness and compassion. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to family & friends. On a professional level - they have always been really good about accomodating our patients when we've had emergencies. All in all - a great office with great staff.

He is really rough with teeth. And most of the time, I'll sit in his office waiting for about 15 minutes until he comes to check up on me, but he's always really busy! His staff are really good, but they could work on how caring they are. His punctuality definitely needs improvement. He is a certified orhodontist and periodontist, so obviously he knows what he is doing.
