Had neck cancer 1986. Dr. Kelley operated on me. 5-year survival rate 20 %. Could be luck that I'm still here, I guess. Or not. He saved my life.

I met with Dr. Kelley regarding possible surgery. He was very informative and he made me feel like he cared about me and my health. His staff is awesome and so is he. Eventually I will have to undergo surgery and I trust Dr. Kelley and I am confident in his surgical skills.

I have been with Dr. Kelley for about 30 years and in my opinion there is none better. From the beginning he was cautious, caring and willing to answer all of my questions regardless of when I called or how small the question happened to be. I'm very lucky to have Dr. Kelley as my surgeon.
