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.

In my perspective, I found Dr. Kelly to be sincere, caring, mindful & very professional at each visit. She is also very thorough in her checkups & patiently listens to her patient's medical needs & concerns. She is very focused on giving her expert advice on preventive care whenever possible rather than blindly rushing towards the final options such as Rx drugs or surgeries etc. I am truly grateful to have her as my doctor for her preventive care advice helped me learn to care for my body better & feel a lot better. In some cases, I was able to diverge from the path of bigger health problems. I have felt the importance of having more professionals like her who take adequate time to treat their patients rather than rushing from patient to patient within minutes of each appointment. I truly trust her expertise and highly recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their health rather than simply manage a disease!

My visit was great, it was as if I were sitting in the office with Dr. Kelly. Dr. Kelly is always patient, kind and listens to your problems and tries to help you figure out your issue and if she can't find or fix the issue she will send your to someone or suggest other suggestions.
