Dr Kelley has performed multiple complex reconstructive surgeries and helped me heal from a complex condition and diagnosis I have been living with for 7 years. Dr Kelley is compassionate, encouraging, careful and conservative with the surgical approach and plan for his patients. I am grateful to be recommended to Dr Kelley and glad to have access to his team who has always been available to answer questions and support me in my healing process.

Dr. Kelley and his team have been delightful, dedicated, and innovative in working to remove my cancer over the past several months. I appreciate that he takes the time to talk with me and explain what is happening without sugar coating the situation. He has exceeded my expectations with his innovative method of removing the cancer without the significant, negative, lifelong consequences that other surgical methods would have entailed.

I was referred to Dr. Kelly for sigmoidectomy due to multiple bouts of diverticulitis, and because of complications due to my Ehlers Danlos diagnosis. Dr. Kelly performed surgery on my twice, first to remove sigmoid part of colon and create a temporary illeostomy. After my colon was given time to heal without having to function at the same time, he reversed the illeostomy. I felt blessed to be able to have him for my surgeon. He encourages and his confidence in success rubs off on the patient. Would highly recommend him to anyone in search of a colo-rectal doctor.

Dr. Kelley is very professional, and he takes the time to explain every aspect of your situation, and how it should be treated. He has genuine concern for the patient, and he treats all patients with courtesy and respect. He is one of the best surgeons in his specialty, and I would highly recommend him to anyone, especially a cancer patient.
