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.

Excellent results
Dr Kelley, his staff was outstanding from the begining. Performed cataract surgery on both eyes. Prior to surgery, vision was 20 400, has improved to 20 40. Like starting a new life. Mid Coast staff was wonderful, the entire experience has been tremendous! Thank you Dr Kelley.

One day out from cataract surgery and I'm reading this screen without glasses. Dr. Kelley 'turned back time' and my vision is as good as fifteen years ago! I have a right eye waiting for another session, but am fully confident of the next steps. During prep the providers were in an out, cheerful, working as a seamless team and had me ready for the surgery. The procedure itself was painless, recovery rapid and I was home for the afternoon. Dr. Kelley is a great listener, he exceeded every expectation and made the entire experience amazing. He worked with my goals and made this process a complete success. I am very grateful today for having found this capable ophthalmologist and for the work of Mid Coast. I give both my complete endorsement and thank them for restoring my fading eyesight! Update: I'm now four months out from all cataract surgeries. My vision is restored, the world is suddenly 4K and I can see color where only shades of gray had been. Couldn't be happier with the results

Dr. Kelley and his staff are exceptional in every respect. His bedside manner is a welcome change from other physicians I have experienced in the past. His knowledge, skill, and patience are reassuring and make for a very comfortable environment at the time of surgery. His staff is friendly, courteous, and extremely helpful. Most of all his calming manner and professional approach to the surgery and his follow-up made the entire surgical process a very positive experience.

I highly recommend Dr. Kelley. He and his staff are very pleasant and reassuring. My cataract surgeries were pain free and without any complications. Dr. Kelley explains everything he is doing during the surgical procedure. The resulting improvement in my vision is phenomenal.

Double cataract surgery. Dr. Kelley and his team made it seem almost routine; it was painless and mostly stress-free. I've gone from trifocals to no glasses at all because I could tolerate having one eye with distant and one with near vision, so I can read, use the computer and drive with no lenses. The doctor is excellent at explaining and resolving doubts, and his staff is friendly and professional. I recommend him and his office highly.

Dr. Kelley performed cataract surgery on both my eyes and I am amazed at how well I can now see. He was great during both procedures and after answering my questions and addressing all of my concerns I had no qualms about the surgeries. During his pre-op exam he even discovered an issue that my previous eye doctor never mentioned. I like Dr. Kelley so well I will be seeing him for all my eye care needs from now on. I can't recommend him highly enough.

The fear of the unknown and anxiety I had over having cataract surgery was subsided tremendously by Dr. Kelley's warm and compassionate mannerisms. He made me feel very comfortable, he answered all my questions and explained the entire procedure before I ever went in the day of surgery. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an opthamologist.
