Patient Reviews
Apr 18, 2024
I liked that Peachtree Orthopedics has video interviews of their doctors. It gives you a glimpse of their demeanor. Dr. Kercher seemed to have a peaceful disposition and that helped me choose him -- I didn't want someone pretentious or condescending. That said, he did seem to be in a hurry to tell me what he saw in my x-rays when I wanted to tell him what I felt was wrong. A willingness to listen is an important skill for all doctors. Overall, I think the visit was balanced. I told him what my concerns were and he heard that and gave me good guidance for next steps. I came away feeling confident about how to take care of myself. Highly recommended!
