“Dr. Kessler is an amazing chiropractor! He’s incredibly friendly, personable, and genuinely cares about you, not just as a patient but as a person. He takes time to understand your lifestyle and activity level and clearly explains what he’s doing, why, and how it helps. He never rushes through appointments, always checks in to see if I’ve been feeling better or noticing any relief, and has tailored multiple treatments to my personal needs and comfort to really find a resolution to my pain. He even remembered my daughter’s first birthday, which showed how much he truly pays attention and cares beyond just appointments. He goes above and beyond for his patients, even making himself available anytime. It’s honestly so rare to find a doctor who cares this much. I’d 10000% recommend him to anyone looking for a chiropractor who’s kind, professional, and truly dedicated to your well-being. You can tell he genuinely loves his job and has a true passion for helping others feel their best.”

Great overall experience with all my visits.
June 14, 2023Walter C.Verified patient
My previous experience with chiropractors was not great but I was desperate due to unbearable lower back pain. I was able to make an appointment on a SUNDAY and spent 1.5 hours with the Doc. He was sympathetic, informative, and provided immediate services. First time on a decompression table and I already feel better. I will continue to see him for the foreseeable future!
June 4, 2023Gabriela P.Verified patient
I had a great time. Finding a new chiropractor was a long search. Very happy where I landed. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. He warmed up my muscles on all these different kind of beds first then gave me a great adjustment. I’ve definitely found my new chiropractor!

I was able to get an appt on a Sunday. Dr Kessler was excellent. I called him still in a lot of pain a few hrs later. I was able to reach him directly when I called the office and he saw me again the same day.
October 2, 2022Robin B.Verified patient
Awesome Provider.
April 29, 2022Anand P.Verified patient
Dr Kessler was knowledgeable, professional and very engaging. Maybe the most important thing was I left his office feeling a lot better than I did when I walked in. I would definitely recommend him to anyone with back pain that (possibly) needs an A-1 adjustment.
February 16, 2022Dwaynne O.Verified patient
This was my first adjustment. Dr. Kessler took his time and was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. I felt super comfortable and welcomed during my appointment. I feel great!
November 23, 2021Melodie M.Verified patient
Great experience and felt better right away.
November 15, 2021Frank H.Verified patient
Dr. Kessler is amazing! I was having back issues from working remotely and my sleeping posture and he took me the same day! The first appointment he took the time to diagnose the issues and did 3 treatments the same day. The entire appointment was an hour and a half and I could tell Dr. Kessler went above and beyond to make sure my back was vastly improved by the time I left. Dr. Kessler has amazing bedside manner and the office is in a quaint, restored historic house with ample parking. I highly recommend!
November 12, 2021Katherine M.Verified patient
This was my first time seeing a chiropractor and so glad it was with Dr. Kessler! I’m 7 months pregnant and have been dealing with terrible back pain and a pinched nerve. He has really helped me so much! He's super friendly, knowledgeable and professional. And like others have said, he really takes the time to listen to you!
October 31, 2021Anita R.Verified patient
Dr Kessler is really great at diagnosing the problem and the timing and pacing of each step of the treatment is well done! I feel so much more relaxed and less tension after the treatment! Recommend for sure :)
