She did two lumpectomies on my breast I was scheduled for a third surgery she was to be assisted by a plastic surgeon Dr. Schneider he was rude to me. Telling me to go to UNC Chapel Hill to have my surgery. I was trying to ask him a question but he wouldn't allow me to. Now Dr. Kellam won't do my surgery. I thought she would recommend another plastic surgeon but she didn't.

Dr. Kellam did my RNY in 2004. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had her. She quite literally saved my life.

Yes, I would definitely choose Dr. Kellam again; but hopefully I won't have the need. Wish she were my primary care doctor, lol.

I had to have urgent outpatient surgery which Dr. Kellam did in her office. She explained everything and was very professional. I was very nervous but she put me at ease. She was done quickly and did a super job. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
