Michael Kessler, MD

"I'm ecstatic to report that at my second follow-up visit, for surgery on 12/1/25, Dr Kessler tested Range of Motion, on my right thumb and right distal radioulnar joint; and the movements were smooth, without crackling sounds, and Pain Free!!!! My surgery involved revision of a previous right CMC joint procedure, and a DRUJ Replacement created by a 3D printed PEEK section of ulnar bone. I relish in crocheting, clay work, jewelry making, especially chainmaille, and my evolving healing and dexterity indicate Great Projects ahead!!! Thank you Dr Kessler for your expertise, support, and kindness!!! Thank you Dodi, Dr Kessler's wonderful PA, and Georgetown University Hospital for your amazing care and thorough service!!! Thank you Katie in OT for creating splints made of Kryptonite that were crucial to my recovery!!!"

"My experience at the Orthopedic at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital was great. The doctor Michael Kessler was very professional and courteous and knowledgeable and helpful and explaining the pain in my right wrist from start to finish and I was able to ask questions and he provided a solution. The staff was very friendly and courteous so was the assistance. I will definitely recommend Dr. Michael Kessler to my family and friends."

"I highly recommend Dr Kessler and his team. He has a great ability to explain the condition as well as options going forward and related considerations. Very willing and able to answer questions with patience and clarity."

"While cleaning out old files, I found the records from when Dr Kessler operated on my thumb back in early January 2014. (Specifically, this was a left thumb carpometacarpal arthroscopy, hemitrapezactomy and tightrope placement.) It has been nearly 12 years now, and my thumb is still going strong! Looking back, I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with the diagnostic process, the surgery, recovery and long-term outcome. I highly recommend Dr Kessler."

"I was fortunate to be recommended to Dr. Kessler by a friend who spoke extremely high of him and his abilities as a medical professional. I was not disappointed my gosh what an amazing doctor, friendly engaging but you know I had MRI records that previous professional professionals never explained to me. Without my saying a single word, he read my MRI like it was Vogue magazine for somebody who's into fashion. All of a sudden, I understood what all of these media of photos not photos, but digital medical records represented, and it put me at ease. I didn't have to ask. I didn't have to beg it was just natural instinct. He just did it. And it changed my world. He gave me such wonderful reassurance without he didn't even it was just natural for him to do it. I'm saying this, and I have tears in my eyes of joy because I have these records and I had no idea what they meant. I could kinda guess. That's the kind of doctor he is. I'm just just less than a week after surgery and I feel so taken care of wonderful staff the pre-op in the post op or outstanding. That was the only way I can describe it. out. Outstanding, friendly, warm, engaging, present, thoughtful, kind so many more adjectives. Dr. Kessler is a consummate professional, engaging, warm and kind very quick not a lot of conversation but when he's very present very thoughtful and the team he has so immensely equally warm and engaging. I'm grateful!"

"Dr Kessler and staff are top notch!! Very professional, understanding with a warm and relaxing demeanor. They didn't rush me and understood everything I was saying...they know their stuff You can't go wrong with Dr Kessler!!!"

"They got me in quickly after I broke my wrist. Dr Kessler was extremely nice and professional. Explained the X-rays in detail. Highly recommend. I felt good knowing he is such a great doctor."

"I have felt cared for throughout my process, from ER, to surgery, to post op appts. Dr Kessler takes time to answer my questions and has a kind and efficient team."
