Dr Kelly is a courteous and very friendy Doctor. He explained my surgery to me and spent a lot of time for me to ask questions. He did my surgery and after explained all of my post op instructions to me and my wife. I recommend Dr Kelly to anyone looking for a general surgeon.

Colon/Rectum surgery. Dr. Kelly operated on me to remove a cancer tumor. It was a deeper surgery than we expected. I recovered in only 5 days with 4 small LIPO incisions on my lower stomach. Great staff at PARKWEST hospital. I am very Happy with Dr Kelley, you will be too.

This "doctor" had one foot out the door. He did not run basic tests and as a result missed the underlying problem I was having. I would have had months of painful recurrences had my 2nd doctor not found this underlying condition that Dr.Kelly missed.

Dr.Kelly did not adequately examine my son or explore all of the treatment options available to us. Dr. Kelly was annoyed when questioned if there were other, less painful courses of treatment. He was rude and lacked compassion. Thankfully we got a second opinion and a much more palliative treatment plan. It was also determined at the 2nd opinion that Dr.Kelly failed to fully examine and document my son's injury. My son was in great physical pain and had we not gotten second opinion, he still would be pain. I would highly recommend seeking treatment through another practice.

Haven't had my surgery yet, but the staff is friendly, helpful, informative and efficient. Dr. Kelly is thorough, answered my questions and didn't make me feel rushed.
