I’ve been seeing this Doctor for about two years now . There are not enough words to describe my Gratitude for his patience and time . He never rushes me, always takes time and he’s so exact regarding a diagnosis. Today I needed another injection in my right knee as I had a Fall. But he also ordered an MRI to rule out a fracture. This shows how thorough he is. I don’t know of another Orthopedic doctor with his attributes. I highly recommend him.

I can only say,DON’T even contemplate ?? using this Doctor! It would take me hours to write down all the negatives on this Doctor! In addition,I believe he had a drug problem (alcohol and or drugs)at one point in time in his life! His hands shake! Point being,he won’t prescribe pain medication if needed.He tells you to get it from your primary Physician.In addition my injury is a Workers Compensation Case,and Dr.Keffer knows very well HE MUST Prescribe my medications.And he was told by the NYS Compensation Board to do so,but it feel on deaf ears.But he will happily take the big money he gets from NYS for a Surgery!! DON’T DO IT! DON’T Let this shoe maker touch you.Everything written here is my opinion,and my freedom of the press right under the first amendment to the constitution! Sincerely, Noble&Noble Esq

Dr. Keefer is an odd doctor with a crude bedside manner. I have never seen a surgeon with a trembling hand like this doctor. It is very scary.

I'm not a fan of doctor visits; but out of necessity I had to schedule an Orthopedic visit and chose Dr. Keefer based on other reviews and his philosophy. He was immediately attentive to my concerns; explained diagnosis, medical options (both long & short term) & gave me the choice as to the path I opted to take.. Much appreciated!!

He reconstructed my right shoulder after a bad fall, and it is better than ever.
