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.

Terrible provider
Terrible patient communication, and extremely rude. I came in for respiratory problems. He spent three minutes with me (the ER was very slow), and disregarded everything I said. He didn’t even listen to my lungs or give me a physical exam. I had to request a chest X-ray as I have a history of pneumonia. Do yourself a favor and never be seen by Kyle Kelson unless you want someone who’s miserable and hates his job.

I have visited ER due to anxiety disorder and Dr. Kelson and other staffs took great care of me even though they were busy, helping me to realize that I was suffering anxiety disorder. Appreciated his rational judgment which I failed to notice!
