Patient Reviews
Nov 07, 2023
I've been with Dr. Kessler for nearly three years. I established care with her during one of the worst times of my life and she has been my biggest cheerleader. Even when I don't always follow doctor's orders perfectly, she doesn't treat me any differently and reminds me what to do in my best interest without infantilizing me. She also championed for me when an unnecessary request was being made by another doctor, and hasn't hesitated to offer alternatives while also keeping my unique needs in mind. She also recognizes what things can/could trigger serious anxiety and will take the time to explain things in a way that puts me at ease or feel more confident about my health decisions. Lastly, she and her nurse have always been extremely good about answering message inquiries from me or troubleshooting prescription issues with my insurance. Absolutely 10 out of 10 for me. The care I have received from her has been around the top of the list of reasons why I haven't moved from Fargo.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
