I would not think of seeing any Doctor other than Dr. Kelly. Have always received nothing but the best care and attention from him since I became his patient about 20 years ago. He is highly recommended!

Dr. Kelly took care of my parent in the hospital, but did not round on him daily. He sends residents out. However he still bills for it. Trying to get this man to call back takes forever and he can get pretty rude on the phone. I don't know why they let people like this become doctors.

Doctor Kelly is an outstanding diagnostician. He is compassionate and competent. He has little patience for folks who ignore his advice (which may seem brusque to some) but his accuracy in diagnosing and treating the various afflictions of my family over the past 28 years is nothing short of amazing.

Something is wrong with this guy. He ignored everything I said. I am concerned about his mental well being.

I have seen Dr. Kelly rush through appointments as though they were annoyances in his day. Talks a great deal about himself & his accomplishments; offers cursory attention to patient's issues. Poor followup; blames pharmacy for his inattention to prescription refills. Beware if you exercise your legal right to a second opinion. He will likely dump you as a patient. Look elsewhere for a primary care physician!

i wish this doctor would sometime listen to his patient rather than being defen- sive. he ignored the ongoing findings on my MRI which i pointed out. the "thorough physical" was a joke.

Dr. Kelly is fabulous!!! I certainly don't mind waiting a few minutes for a scheduled appointment with the type of service and attention I receive from him. His staff (Maria, expecially) are courteous and knowledgeable. My family and I have been seeing Dr. Kelly for years and could not wish for a better doctor.
