Dr. James Saylor Kercher, MD

Dr Kercher talks to you and explains things like we were friends. Staff is friendly and if I would have needed surgery I’d not have a second thought about having him do it. His PA, Nick, is just as comfortable to see. Great group of people!

…i thought the service was great. i had dull pain under my shoulder blade, where i thought the pain was originating from. however after the xray the dr explain that the pain was eminating from a pinch nerve in my neck. he then scheduled me for a mri …, i will update once that is done. Dr. Kercher is the man in my book ??????????

First time meeting Dr. Kercher. Great experience! Compassionate and empathy. Listen, but got to the point of finding a solution.

Took time to explain options. Great staff! Nick is awesome!

i appreciated dr kercher no-nonsense approach to my sports injury. direct, to the point, explicit options and information.

He was extremely personable, knowledgeable and very thorough! He made me feel confident my “bad news” was fixable and did an amazing job at keeping me calm and focused on the promising outcome. Although this was my first time seeing him, he made me feel like I had been a long term patient. I highly recommend him for any and all orthopedic needs!!

I was very pleased with the service that I received, the COVID-19 precautions and the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff.

I had a shoulder labrum tear fixed by Dr. James Kercher and could not be more pleased with the results. Being heavily involved with sports all my life (and particularly MMA for 7+ years) I’ve had injuries in the past that required surgery. Of all the surgeries I’ve had, this one has been far and above the most beneficial and smoothest. The incision was surprisingly small and the recovery-pain relatively minor. I am currently around 3 months into recovery and am very optimistic for the months to come. I would absolutely recommend Dr. James Kercher to my friends, family, and loved ones.

I’ve seen Dr. Kercher for almost two years now, including two knee surgeries, and every single time, I’ve had an amazing experience. It is obvious that he knows his stuff, and his bedside manner is second to none. He makes you feel like family, and you can tell that he genuinely cares about your treatment and recovery. I have never hesitated to recommend Dr. Kercher, and his staff, to anybody, including my fiancé, who had two shoulder scopes with him last year, and we both plan to continue using them for our other orthopedic issues.

Awesome staff from check in counter, PA, Surgical Nurse, and Dr. James Kercher. Highly recommend Peachtree Orthopedics to family and friends.

Dr. Kercher has been an excellent surgeon for my third knee surgery!! I loved his easygoing bedside manner from the moment he walked into the room. I’m in my third month of recovery and totally satisfied with the outcome so far. I can’t say enough good things about this doctor!!

Dr Kercher saw me promptly from a referral, worked me in even though I was late and took time to listen, examine and make recommendations tailored for me, my injury and my lifestyle needs. He called me back after I told his PA that I had forgotten to ask some other questions. He’s definitely worth considering for your Ortho issues!

I made an appointment with Peachtree Orthopedics to be seen for an elbow pain issue I was experiencing. I chose PT Orthopedics as one of their shoulder specialist doctors had previously performed rotator cuff surgery on my shoulder. After researching bios on their website, I chose a doctor that specializes in the area I was having an issue with. After waiting a week or so for my appointment, I received a call from the office the night before my appointment stating that that particular doctor did not accept coverage from my insurance provider and my appointment was changed to another doctor (James Kercher) in the practice. I immediately phoned the practice administrator, Lee Cothren, to not only complain about the last minute switch, but also that the doctor assigned didn’t appear to specialize in the area I was having an issue with. Mr. Cothren told me not to worry and assured me that Dr Kercher was a sports medicine physician and would do a great job; and in fact would be his choice if he had the same issue. Sometime after arrival at the office I was escorted to an examination room when a PA entered and asked some basic questions regarding my issue. I was a little confused that the doctor wasn’t there, but I assumed he would fill in the doctor before he came in to examine me. When the PA returned he held a tray containing a cortisone shot which he administered followed by instructions for what actions were to be taken by me at home. When I asked about the doctor, he replied that the doctor was busy. That was it – see you later. That afternoon I sent Dr Kercher an email to discuss via the practice’s online portal. Again, the response came from a staffer, not from him. The response basically stated that he didn’t feel it necessary to see me. I immediately phoned the practice administrator who had referred me to Dr Kercher. His initial response was that of disbelief, and promised to call me back once he got to the bottom of the issue. I received no return call from Mr. Cothren, despite repeated follow up calls to him. A couple of weeks later I received an invoice from Peachtree Orthopedics for services rendered by “Dr Kercher”. I noted that my insurance company was also billed for services rendered by Kercher. Services which never occurred - he never even walked into the room. To this day I wouldn’t know him if I saw him. Imagine the arrogance of a person who decides if you’re worthy of his time based on the information given at intake, regardless of whether you have an appointment or not; then has the audacity to bill you for his time. Throughout my life I’ve found that if someone is dishonest in one thing, it typically carry through to other areas of their lives. While the PA I saw was totally ineffective, at the end of the day I’m glad I never saw this clown. If I were you I’d think twice before I let this guy work on me. Beware.

I always have a great experience here with Doctor Kercher and/or Rossi! They listen to my concerns and are always so dedicated to ensuring that my needs are taken care of. Bed side manners are impeccable. They genuinely care about you as a person. Sad to say, but you don’t find that often nowadays in the medical field but oh DEFINITELY FIND IT HERE! I’ve had to have both of my tibias broken to correct my legs to prevent knee replacement and I’m back up and moving with no problems and even back to working out. I’m now seeing Doctor Kercher for a frozen shoulder and I am confident that this care and treatment will go just as well. I would not entrust my orthopedic care with anyone else.

Dr. Kercher is my favorite Dr. -ever! He is so knowledgeable, as well as kind and considerate. His team of Nick, P.A. & Alicia, M.A. are excellent as well! Any time I have a question, they respond very quickly. It’s hard enough to have an injury requiring surgery, and Dr. Kercher and his team are the best! Also, I am a second generation patient! 5*****
