Dr. Keel is the greatest! My husband was fortunate enough to get Dr. Keel after a blotched cataract removal that caused complete loss of sight in one eye. Dr. Keel is super nice and informative as well as being the best eye surgeon around. Our community is blessed to have him. He is a 10 star!

Dr. Keel, Nurse Linda and his complete staff are always professional, friendly, and precise. Dr. Keel explained the eye surgery that I was scheduled to have with ease and simplicity. Linda's presence was very reassuring. From the front desk to my final check out is always a pleasant experience.

Chose him because he was recommended by a friend for whom he corrected poor treatment and surgeries by other doctors. Found him to be thorough and kind and would recommend him highly.
