Never met a Dr like Dr Kerstan. Always has time for you. Examines me very thoroughly. He examines my diabetic needs better than my Endocrinologist. I hope Dr Kerstan has no plans on retiring soon that would be a big loss to me and my family.

?Dr Kerstan was friendly, efficient, and thorough
Verified patient
I definitely would go back! That says a lot because I have never felt that way about a doctors visit. I am 36 and have not been to the proper doctor visit in a long time. This was a general physical and health check up. Doing some preventative checks. My experience with Dr. Kerstan was excellent. I truly felt in a short time he got to know me pretty well, asked great questions and was very educational on diet, exercise, and overall health. I highly recommend getting a checkup and making friends with the right doctor, makes you feel heard and taken care of. Top notch visit from the Front office staff, to nursing, and Dr. Kerstan, thank you all. ??
