Dear Patients and Families,

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I introduce myself to you and the wonderful community of Columbus, Indiana. My name is Dr. Michael Kessler, and I have the privilege of continuing the outstanding orthodontic care that Dr. McDermott has provided for so many years.

Dr. McDermott has built an incredible legacy—one defined by kindness, respect, and genuine care for every patient who walked through his doors. It’s clear how deeply he is admired by his patients, his team, and the entire community. I want to sincerely thank him for the trust he has placed in me to carry forward the practice he worked so hard to build.

As I step into this next chapter, my goal is to honor Dr. McDermott’s legacy while beginning one of my own. I am committed to continuing the same compassionate, personalized approach to orthodontics that he exemplified—treating each patient as if they were part of my own family. You can expect the same friendly faces, warm atmosphere, and commitment to excellence that have long defined this practice.

We hope you are as excited as us to be working together!

My family and I are thrilled to be joining the Columbus community and look forward to getting to know you both inside and outside the office. It’s truly a privilege to serve a community that values relationships, trust, and great smiles.

Thank you for welcoming me with such kindness and for the opportunity to continue a tradition of care that means so much to so many. I look forward to meeting each of you soon and to building beautiful, confident smiles for years to come.

Warm regards,
Michael Kessler DDS, MSD
