Great service. Awesome communication. Thank you!
Excellent care knew just what to do !Gave me options Very polite and friendly !!!
Easy to talk to. Very informative. His PA was great too
Dr Kersten has been consistently good at answering my questions. Seems like more and more of my friend's have heard of and say good things about the doctor. Glad he is in Hendersonville.
Appointment felt rushed. More info should have been volunteered VS having to know what questions to ask 15 Minutes to discuss and make a decision on knee surgery is not enough.
Very impressed with him. Glad to have knee surgery explained so thoroughly. And looking forward to having the surgery September 23rd.
Disappointed that my pre-authorization was not completed prior to my visit. Lack Of communication regarding visit requirements in standard series of shots for knees. Felt like the practice was trying to milk unnecessary visits
Answered all my questions and didn’t seem to be in a hurry. I appreciate that!
Too early to make full review
He took the time to listen and offer the options available.
