Dr. Kersten did a reverse shoulder replacement for me, and it has had amazing results. No more pain, and movement and flexibility is great! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs shoulder assistance. Thanks Dr. Kersten!

Very knowledgeable and kind.
Great doctor - very personable. Answered all of my questions about my upcoming surgery. He’s very honest and said the first two weeks wouldn’t be fun but after that, I would kick myself for not doing it sooner.
