He called me the night before my surgery to ask how I was doing and did I have any questions. I took the time to answer any questions I had.
Empathetic and professional and knowledgeable !
Excellent doctor and surgeon. Sweet bedside manner. Cares about his patients
A great addition to the practice. Very thoughtful in his approach to care.
Dr. Kerbel is one of the most caring and thorough physicians I have ever had, EVER!! He made me feel confident about his plan for me and called me several times once I went home from the hospital to check on me and addressed a few medical issues that cropped up. If I had to leave a message for him, he got back to me as promptly as possible. He made me feel like I was his only priority and I really appreciated that. Dr. Kerbel is the best surgeon I've ever had, and I've had many surgeries in my lifetime.
He is a different kind of doctor from any of the multitude of doctors I have seen. Other doctors just want to keep me on drugs, not Dr Kerbel. He was very excited to find a fix for the excruciating pain I had been in for the last 10 years. He is incredibly compassionate and a pleasure to see!!
Hello, wonderful to meet Dr Kerbel and his fabulous staff. Everyone was very personable and pleasant. My neighbor and husband referred me to the office for my knee pain. I would recommend them to my friends and family.
Dr. Kerbel did my knee partial knee replacement. He let me know everything that was going on. I also recommended Dr. Kerbel who has to get a knee replacement.
Dr Kerbel is wonderful. He takes the time to answer and explain all your concerns before you even get to express them yourself. He is very knowledgeable and has the ability to put your mind at ease. His new approach to knee replacement is remarkable.
