Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

excellant care
On July 22, 2020 Dr. Kellogg performed emergency surgery on me after a colon puncture due to a colonoscopy. He visited me daily at Memorial Hospital (also an excellant facility) and answered my questions. I was particularly impressed by his compassion toward the pain I was suffering and made sure that the pain medicine was delivered promptly and at effective dosages. This made the sucessful recovery (of a nasty and unexpected medical procedure) much easier.

In May, 2022 Dr. Kellogg excised a lipoma from my back that was located between my scapula and spine. Dr. Kellogg thoughtfully answered all of my questions before and after the surgery. The surgery was a complete success. Dr. Kellogg is an excellent surgeon and consummate professional. His staff is professional, courteous, and attentive. I highly recommend Dr. Kellogg.

Dr. Kellogg was very professional and skilled. He listened well, evaluated my circumstances and came up with the best solution which involved the use of a robotic surgery for repair. He explained the entire process and the recovery was painless and went as planned. I will definitely use him again if the need arises.

I ended up using Dr. Kellogg again after what was much more than an appendectomy. It ended up being colon cancer. He did an excellent job there. Then I had to have a port put in for cancer. He did a good job also. He is professional and empathetic to any problem that may arise. I can't say enough about his nurse, Lisa. She is wonderful also. She calls and checks on me when she actually could be doing other things. I have other doctors now and I can tell you out of all of them, Dr. Kellogg and Lisa, his nurse are by far the best!

Recently met Dr. Kellogg when I was emergently admitted to RMC and required surgery. I was so impressed with this most kind and skilled young man. As a retired nurse, I have certainly dealt with my share of physicians. Dr. Kellogg is atypically top notch!

Dr. Kellogg was wonderful when I had to have an appendectomy. It was a questionable emergency, but he acted quickly and thoroughly to avoid the risk of worsening. The surgery went smoothly. I had no post operative complications. Dr. Kellogg is very professional and an excellent surgeon. I would highly recommend him for any surgical needs.

Dr. Kellogg was an unprofessional nightmare. I woke up from my surgery with a hole in the back of my leg and that was not where I was being operated on. Furthermore he could not tell me what caused the hole. I ended up with two 5 day hospitalizations resulting from his negligent care as well as ending up with MRSA. He failed to listen to my concerns and would never answer my questions. I would not recommend him to even remove a wart. Please save yourself the pain and suffering and go elsewhere.
