I am six two years old and had a consultation with Savy for sagging jowls, a wrinkled neck, elevens between the eyes and all over loss of firmness and elasticity in my face.
Savy recommended 3-4 Morpheus8 treatments.
I was nervous about my first treatment because I had friends who had Morpheus8 done elsewhere and said that the procedure is extremely painful. Sandy and Tiffany (Savy’s knowledgeable assistants) put me at ease by listening to my concerns and conveying our conversation to Savy.
Savy suggested that I allow her to inject the areas to be treated with a numbing medication. After receiving the numbing injections the treatment was entirely pain free and kind of relaxing.
After the first treatment my face and neck looked like I had a mild sunburn for a day or two. Around the two week mark people started to comment on how my skin had a healthy glow.
After my second treatment my face and neck again looked like I had a sunburn and I had some slight puffiness in my jowls for around 2-3 days. At the four week mark when I went back for my third treatment I noticed that many of the fine lines on my face had disappeared, the deep lines were lessened, my face had a radiance that I never had before, my entire face looked a little lifted, there definitely was an improvement in my sagging jowl area and my neck was much tighter. I had the same post treatment redness and slight puffiness as I did after the previous treatment.
The recommendation it to wait a full month after the third treatment to really notice an improvement in the treated area.
I am so impressed by the results so far that I am going back to have Morpheus8 and ElvoveX on my upper arms, inner thigh area and lower abdomen. The combination of these two treatments melts fat, builds muscle, tightens skin and helps your body rebuild collagen and elastin.
I feel that this is a great way to look your best while avoiding plastic surgery.
Savy, Tiffany, Sandy and the entire staff of Kessel Dermatology are the best of the best.

I was able to get appointment to be seen in the office very quickly for a growth on my foot. Joseph White examined my foot and explained what procedure he felt was indicated. He performed a biopsy and removed the growth. He had a very gentle touch and the procedure was not painful at all.

Barrie M. | Oct 21, 2024
Melissa was very caring, patient and professional when I saw her recently for my visit. I was very nervous and had been putting off the procedure for quite some time. I am thrilled that I took care of it and that Melissa was my provider. I have virtually no evidence of having anything done on my face. Thank you Melissa and team.
Sincerely,
Paula Serediuk

Dr. Kessel takes the time to fully review your skin health and explains everything so you can easily understand what you need to know to make decisions about your treatment. I recommend Dr. Kessel. I've been a patient of his for many years and continue to be totally satisfied with his care.

Several weeks ago after doing some extensive gardening I developed some sort of rash. So the wife said,try Dr. White he's helped me ! Yes he's the real deal. He's straight forward down to earth person. He asked a few questions, examined and came up with a solution! GOOD job Doctor White, see you next week.

Honest review. I have had moles cut off for biopsies for years and years now. Mrs. Otero has been such a blessing for me to find! She will be as conservative or aggressive as you want. She gave me the option to watch a spot or to take it right away. I wanted to be done with it and asked for the biopsy so I didn’t have to think about it. It ended up being nothing (like she assumed) but it was so nice to have a choice! She also leaves as minimal scarring as possible. She actually cares about leaving marks on me, where in the past I’ve been so scarred from the same exact procedure. She is thorough with her checks as well. I know she isn’t aware, but I finally don’t freak out for my visits because of her.

Rachel M. | Sep 27, 2024
For many years, I have seen Ms. Alena Otero for all dermatology needs. She is both medically knowledgeable and compassionate -- a wonderful combination, as far as I'm concerned! And for even more years, Ms. Otero treated my husband with the very same approach. Ms. Otero was and is greatly appreciated.

On an annual visit with Joseph White, he noticed a mole like growth on my forehead. I have many moles and had thought nothing of it. He removed it and a biopsy confirmed it was melanoma, a cancer. He recommended surgery. I followed through and am thankful for an early diagnosis of this deadly cancer. I will happily continue visiting on the recommended basis.

Efrain Morales is an excellent medical professional. He prescribed my medication and also was very caring to give me a prescription in case I needed an additional medication over the weekend knowing the office would be closed. I can’t tell you how much this impressed me. Thank you so much.

Barbara M. | Sep 13, 2024
Always an enjoyable experience with Alena. She is patient and understanding with all my questions and very thorough with her examinations. Because of her professionalism, attentiveness and sense of humor I will always keep coming back to Kessel Dermatology for her medical care.
(...)
Ronald H. | Sep 13, 2024
Dr. Kessel was very professional & thorough. He explained to me that what I thought were a few moles on my skin actually were not & I had nothing to be concerned about. He explained what they were & that they would not develop into anything else. He was very personable & put my mind at ease!

Linda Q. | Aug 27, 2024
Mrs. Otero is an excellent dermatologist. I have been her patient for 10 years. She gives me thorough examinations and has detected areas of concern in early stages. She has surgically emoved areas of skin cancer in an expert and effective manner. I have wholeheartedly recommended her to others. I also appreciate her friendly manner and her ability to explain and communicate findings and treatments.

Efrain has been treating me for alopecia for the last 2 years. I was ready to be released and my thyroid acted up again and the alopecia came back. Efrain is caring and professional at the same time. He is always concerned about my health and how I am doing. I would recommend him to anyone.
(...)
Kathleen P. | Aug 20, 2024
I was seen by Melissa who was very pleasant and professional. She gave me a complete examination of the area in question. Melissa was able to diagnose the problem and we discussed what should be done going forward. I was very impressed by the whole experience and would feel confident using their services in the future.
(...)
Kathryn K. | Aug 20, 2024
Mr White was terrific. Spent as much time as I needed discussing options, and performed a procedure with no pain and virtually no post-procedure discomfort. He also asked --- and examined --- a prior condition. That was unexpected and part of the reason that I trust him completely.

Robert B. | Aug 16, 2024
I needed a new dermatologist closer to home & as a new pt I had virtually no wait. Dr came in quickly (my son's appointment). He kindly reviewed the issues and explained things very well. Did not appear to be rushing, very personable, and reviewed all questions. I was very pleased

Jonathan G. | Aug 15, 2024
Mr Morales was very thoughtful to my concerns about my condition. The treatment I recieved for my basil cell carcinoma was excellent. During the follow up visit he noticed redness under my eye and prescribed ointment which he felt would clear it up and it did. I am thankful.

Joseph A. | Aug 15, 2024
Extremely happy with the care and services offered. The team looks out for the patients interests and health, taking all action required to do what has to be done. Thoroughly examines and explains what has to be done and why. My wife and I go every year for out check-ups and any follow-ups.

Scott S. | Aug 04, 2024
There are no words to express my feelings about Dr. Kessel! I have been going to him for approximately 30 years and he never disappoints! He goes over and beyond to help us patience and understand the problem! He is extremely intelligent and well-versed in his profession! Give him the problem and he’ll solve it!

Katherine K. | Jul 30, 2024
Alena is very thorough. She listens to all my skin concerns. I usually visit and have to have a few skin biopsies. She has been the best so far. Her technique leaves minimal scarring and she talked me through when I was nervous. I highly recommend Alena for your annual visit or any other skin concerns you may have.

Rachel M. | Jun 19, 2024
I am out in the sun alot on sailboats and doing yard work and gardening. When I saw a strange discoloration under both of my big toenails, I was concerned that it might be melanoma. MSN/APN Jennifer Smith put my mind at ease diagnosing liley trauma to one toenail and gettig older changes in toe nail growth in the other. I plan on more annual vists now to guard against too late detection of skin cancer.

John I. | Jun 19, 2024
As a complicated patient, I never look forward to going to the doctor, especially the dermatologist. With that said, I highly recommend Joseph White & Dr. Kessel Dermatology. Joe White put me as ease right away, as everything was simply explained to me. I’m always pleasantly surprised by the level of care he provides. I’ve had to go in for a few different procedures over the years and he always takes his time, makes sure I’m comfortable and somehow he makes it painless as well. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and the fact that he’s extremely intelligent. To say I highly recommend him would be an understatement. Thank you for such great care!
Sincerely,
Jillian M

Efrain removed a tiny mole that he thought was suspicious in 2018. The pathology came back as melanoma in situ, requiring a more invasive biopsy by Dr. Freedman. Dr. Freedman complimented Efrain's skill in identifying the mole as suspicious. Six years later, I still see Efrain every six months, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Kathy D. | Apr 27, 2024
Joe is a comprehensive and dedicated PA. I feel confident that he always had my best medical interest foremost. I have been seen by him twice a year over the past ten years -plus! He is thorough with his exams and skin inspections and has detected many early concerning areas and treated them successfully.
Thank you for your dedication to your patients.

Charles E. | Apr 27, 2024
Melissa was amazing. She was professional, explained everything to me so that I understood. Melissa made me feel very comfortable & at ease with the mole removal process. I was very happy with my experience. I did wish all moles on my back were removed but Melissa did whole body check & informed me that everything looked good. I was very thankful for her experience & how comfortable she made me feel!! Thank you so much

Kevin K. | Apr 19, 2024
Mr. White was very thoughtful and I could tell that he cared about my condition and the problem it could cause with my son’s upcoming wedding. After listening to everything I had already tried , we had decided on a biopsy after the wedding, and makeup during the wedding. But, he had given it some thought and called me that night to try a new medicine that he called in to the pharmacy. Thankfully the medicine worked! I appreciate his time and consideration.

Beth W. | Apr 16, 2024
My family has been going to Kessel dermatology for years. Mrs. Arena Otero is very professional and her expertise has helped me tackle all my skin issues. My children have been seen by Joe White who is also highly professional and was able to take care of their skin issues.

Donna P. | Feb 15, 2024
I've been seen and treated by Doc Kessel for over 20 years, he's never rushed me in any appointment, asks questions and listens of my concerns and elevates stress on issues I need treated as simple removals and no further action needed on many occasions. He always does a great job taking care of issues that have arose over the years. When diagnostic tests/biopsies are needed, he follows up and calls with results and if follow ups are needed. Knowing he will add a great level of confidence that when he is caring for me, everything will be ok.

Chester S. | Jan 11, 2024
I have been very happy with this practice. I was at another dermatology office for 20 years and felt that they were not on top of things anymore. This practice came recommended to me from a friend and I am so glad I switched! Joe White has been instrumental in helping me keep on top of any potentially dangerous skin issues. Will continue to be a patient here and will certainly recommend it to others.
(...)
Kim R. | Jan 04, 2024
Mr. Morales helped me get my adult acne under control, through both the use of medication and suggestions on other aspects of my health care. His push to see a specialist for that other care rather than the generalist I was seeing led to changes in my medication regime that didn’t just improve the acne but my whole well being. On my latest visit, he was just as excited as I was to see it almost fully gone. What a great guy and what a great practice to work with (booking, billing, etc.)
(...)
Michael S. | Dec 25, 2023
Didn’t have to wait long. The front desk was polite and organized. Dr. Kessel was so nice and explained everything in detail. He knew exactly my problem and solved it immediately. What a wonderful doctor! From the beginning of making the appointment to the end, this office was so organized. I will definitely recommend Dr. Kessel and his staff to others.

Deborah R. | Nov 21, 2023
Dr Melisa is the greatest doctor that I ever met. She was very attentive, and the treatment she prescribed gave a very positive result. Would definitely recommend Kessel dermatology to everyone. It was very easy to make appointments and I didn’t have to wait couple months. Overall, I am very happy with my experience with Kessel Dermatology.

Expedient and Professional. I felt very comfortable and in good hands with Dr. Dan Kessel. His observations and inspections were very informative and his assessments were very thorough. I left the office feeling that I was in good hands with the service I received. His associate was very helpful and courteous as she provided me with substantive information and care.

Richard W. | Nov 12, 2023
Prompt, pleasant, didactic.
However, two nights later I noticed what I thought was a pimple under my left breast so ‘popped’ it and a hard specimen popped out which I have retained for examination if need be. It turns out that this was just a portion of the trouble spot so am wondering if I should come in again?
Also, not sure if it’s in my records but probably should be added that I had uterine cancer 25 yrs ago and my grandmother died of lymph node cancer. And a cousin died of cancer (same side of family).

Susan P. | Nov 08, 2023
Efrain Morales was outstanding. My full body exam was not only the most thorough I have ever received he gave me information on how to best protect myself from the sun and future complications. He also told me where i should look for skin cancer in addition to the most common locations and made sure I was taking proper precautions to avoid future problems. The best exam I can remember having from Kessel dermatology! Thank you.

Nicholas T. | Nov 04, 2023
Very good, except for check-in. I completed the check-in procedure online answering all questions. At the office I was given a pad and asked to answer ALL the same questions again giving insurance info, etc. Was not too happy having to answer all the questions
again. When a patient completes a pre check-in, the office needs to check to see if the forms were filled in online or not before the patient arrives.

John C. | Oct 31, 2023
Having spent many summers at the Jersey shore in the sun/water since i was a teen, suntan lotion was not something my generation talked about. So having a skin check is important to me. Melissa did a thorough check, spotted a few concerns, and suggested I return in a year for another check. I appreciated the fact that I was able to make an appointment for next year. Thank you Melissa!
(...)
Carol A . | Oct 30, 2023
Joe White has been my primary provider for several years now. He continues to be an excellent one, with super sincere patient concern and care. He is consistently a thorough detailed examiner. I am prone to skin cancers and he takes the time to look and find the problem areas each fall as I return from my summer work, at the shore and in the sun.
In my opinion, he commands an excellent medical knowledge of dermatological conditions.
I would readily recommend anyone in need of dermatological care to make an appointment with Kessel Dermatology, specifically Dr. Joe White, PA

In June, I had basel cell removed on my back by a different surgeon. It was not a good experience. The wound got a bacterial infection.

I'm glad I gave Kessel dermatology another chance.
I would definitely recommend Dr Freedman.

Ellen W. | Oct 14, 2023
I was in desperate need of a doctor because I was itchy all over my body. I couldn't stop scratching. Even my scalp was driving me in sane. I was at the point of scratching my skin off my whole body.
So my doctors nurse in the wound center of capital health called your office and you let me come in the same day and Dr. Alena took me and prescribed a cream and in a coupe of days I felt wonderful again.
Thank you Dr. Alena.
I would like to thank every body in your office for their kindness and understanding and for taking me immediately.
