Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr.Kessel has been my obgyn for the past 3 years. He is very knowledgeable, answered all my questions and gave me guidance on how i could manage my health and pregnancy to full term. He is very caring and compassionate. He made me and my husband comfortable by providing all the necessary gudiance for the delivery of my first baby which was a C section due to my hypertension, hypothyroid, IVF and pregnancy at a dvanced maternal age. I highly recommend Dr.Kessel who have complex pregnancy issues and he can solve complex cases

Do not recommend
Practice is too busy & front desk people are snippy. The doctor doesn’t spend enough time answering questions. It was very frustrating.

Dr. Kessel has been my OBGYN for a few years now and I am very pleased. He has great bedside manners and answers all of my questions or concerns no matter how many I ask. He always shows compassion and kindness towards his patients from what I see while in the office. I find that Dr. Kessel has a lot of patients because he takes his time to make sure each one has his undivided attention during their appointment. To me, he is the Rubino Group’s best doctor! I will continue to be his patient until he retires. I’ll stick with the best as long as he is practicing! I highly recommend Dr. Kessle.

Not pleased with amount of patients in this practice. It’s so busy the doctor doesn’t even care who you are. Just exam and gone. No follow up. No nothing.

pissed of patient in orange – Sep 29, 2018

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Kessel as my doctor. This was my third pregnancy and my second child delivered with the Rubino Group. Dr. Kessel is a fantastic doctor he is very thorough and pays close attention to any symptoms or questions I have had. I never felt rushed during appts. He showed genuine concern and put whatever worries I had at ease. I highly recommend Dr. Kessel.

Not happy with this doctor. I can’t believe how rude he was and quick to run out of the room nearly every appt i ever has. I have to actually stop him from leaving to ask questions. How many patients does this guy have? The whole practice is full of not nice people and even filling out my leave of Absense paperwork was expensive and not filled out completely. Come on. Need to do better. Will not return.

Dr Kessel was my OB for my second son's birth and did fantastic job. My first delivery did not go smoothly (with another doctor) and Dr. Kessel was very conscientious and patient during my whole pregnancy. I had a really speedy recovery and have loved having him as my GYN. He is very thorough and spends an appropriate amount of time with me during visits.

I have social anxiety and hate going to any doctor. Now I have a doctor that I don't dread going to. Long story short, my son is alive today because of this man. He took my gut feeling seriously when most wouldn't, and he saved my son. He took amazing care of me throughout the entire pregnancy, birth, and recovery. I am eternally grateful for him and my husband and I are honored that he delivered our son. He is patient, kind, and compassionate. He is the best doctor I have ever met.

This Doctor never called my wife after her 15th week of pregnancy. We were told to be called for our next appointment but never recieved any. My wife called the facility several times left a message but never heard of him. Now we ended up finding another doctor which we end up paying a huge amount of co-pay for it. What a hassle. I would not recommend this doctor he neglected my wife!
