Dr Kelly was proficient answering all my questions. He made me feel confident and less anxious after we talked about my total knee replacement.Doctor Kelly went over my x- rays and showed me why I was in severe discomfort. Just about bone on bone. I was very blessed to have went to New England Orthopedic and getting Doctor Kelly to perform my surgery. I would recommend my family and friends to meet with him should they ever need a total knee replacement.

Dr. Kelly is an amazing surgeon. He has done both of my hip replacements. Now recently I had him do a tkr. He has a wonderful bed side manner. And explains everything to you so you understand completely. When I am ready he will be doing my right knee as well.

Very thorough explanantion of the situation at hand, clearly relating risks and benefits of the surgery my father is likely to get for a hip replacement. Did not feel rushed at the appointment, and Dr. Kelly was patient and thoughtful in answering all the questions we had. I felt that my father would be in good hands if we do decide to go forward with the surgery.

Appointment was delayed for close to an hour. Poor Dr. Kelly was way overscheduled with patients. He was very caring and thoughtful but in a hurry to see the rest of his overload. I didn't have time to ask all the questions I had. It wasn't the best visit I had as I need further surgery on the knee replacement he did; nothing to do with his skills. It is just a fluke that my tibia did not grow into the "plastic" part of the hardware, or vice versa. Plastic, for lack of not knowing what the part is made of. Poly-something?? But as always, he was courteous and professional. Still highly recommendable.
