Dr. Kersten is an exceptional orthopedic surgeon, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care I received from him. He is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely takes the time to listen and explain everything in a way that makes you feel comfortable and informed.
What really stood out to me was his wonderful bedside manner. He is kind, compassionate, patient, and truly makes you feel like more than just another patient. I never felt rushed, and he made sure all of my questions and concerns were addressed.
I would highly recommend Dr. Kersten to anyone looking for an orthopedic surgeon who combines excellent medical care with genuine compassion and a caring approach.

Dr. Kersten enjoys working with his patients to formulate the best treatment plan to achieve their unique goals. He performs the most advanced procedures available, including minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery and computer-assisted shoulder and knee replacements. He also provides a full range of nonsurgical options, like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections.
Dr. Kersten completed his undergraduate education at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. He then earned his medical degree at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis. He went on to complete his residency in orthopedic surgery at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, one of the top-ranked hospitals in the country.
Dr. Kersten then finished a one-year fellowship in arthroscopy and sports medicine at San Diego Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center, where he trained under leaders in the field, including shoulder specialist Dr. Jim Esch, the “father of shoulder arthroscopy.” During his fellowship training, Dr. Kersten worked with the San Diego Padres baseball team and San Diego State University football and soccer teams.
Dr. Kersten‘s expertise as a shoulder specialist, knee specialist, elbow specialist, and ankle specialist.
