Patient Reviews
Nov 29, 2023
Dr Kessler is an experienced & compassionate surgeon. She explained all my options & was very thorough every time I saw her. Best of all, she does not utilize a block to perform cataract surgery (injection of an anesthetic under the eyeball preoperatively), instead relying on anesthetizing eye drops and conscious sedation during the procedure. This saved me the trauma I observed with other patients in the preoperative area who did have a block. Performing the procedure without the block requires more surgical precision and I have been extremely pleased with the procedure and outcome. Dr. Kessler's staff are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and kind, and function as a well oiled machine. I HIGHLY recommend this practice.
