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.

Dr. Key is an expert in his field. I never feel like they are pushing treatments or products. They consult with me on my goals and develop a plan that fits my needs. Dr. Key is very involved every step of the way. He truly wants to see the best results and will only make recommendations that he thinks are appropriate and that will fit into my plan/goals. Dr. Jennifer Hicks is very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. Very patient centered. I met with her about hormone pellets and after months of feeling low energy, and just “not right”, the pellets have done wonders for me and my wellbeing. Thank you Jennifer!

I am very happy with the IPL treatments that I received at Key Laser Center. The results were visible after one visit.I just had a second treatment, and I can't wait to see how that turns out. Kathy Nelson is very good at explaining everything about the procedure and she makes it a very comfortable experience. I highly recommend Key Laser Center.

The staff took excellent care of me from the moment I arrived until my treatment was completed. I've had treatments in the past with really nice outcomes and I fully expect the same from my treatments today. Dr, Key took time to talk with me and explain the process and expected outcomes. Shellie is the BEST! I highly recommend Key Laser Institute and will be a returning client for sure.
