For a very long time, I have suffered from anxiety disorder related to dental visits. It has taken me years to feel comfortable enough to go inside a dental office and actually stay and not walk out.
Not only did Dr. Kesner make me feel right at home, he came out of his office and sat with me in the waiting area and asked me about my fears. He made me feel at ease and that I can trust him. He also made me laugh several times and did not seem judgmental (which was one of my biggest fears). I cannot say enough positive things about my appointment with him. I have finally found my dentist after so many years.
His dental assistant had the sweetest voice and gentle touch and she would stop if i was overwhelmed. His Secretary Julliet is an angel.
I recommend Dr Kesner 100 percent!

Dr. Kesner did such a wonderful job listening to me and making me feel comfortable in the dentist chair. It has been a few years since I saw any dentist, and I was nervous. He took his time, and made me feel safe.
More than 1 year agoJeanne S.Verified patient
Dr. Kesner is super personable and is able to break down dental terms into everyday English. I truly appreciate the recommendations and conversations that we have. He is my favorite and this is coming from someone who hates dentists period. Thanks again Dr. Kesner!
