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 Pediatrician
Dr. Keely has been taking care of both of our Children since they were born. She is kind and comforting when needed. Our kids look forward to their wellness visits and when they are sick they know she will make them feel better! Great office staff as well, always able to get us in when we are in a pinch.

Unsurpassed Excellence
Dr. Keeley has been an invaluable pediatrician for our family since the birth of our children. Her wealth of knowledge and extensive experience has supported and guided our family for almost 13 years through both calm and rough waters. She is genuinely invested in the well-being of the children under her care. I have never been made to feel rushed at our appointments and have always appreciated how Dr. Keeley patiently hears and addresses my concerns even when stress and fatigue have made it difficult for me to gather my thoughts. Our children love her so much that when they were very young, they made any minor scrape or bump an excuse to visit Dr. Keeley!

Excellent pediatrician with unmatched skill
Dr. Katherine Keeley at First Physicians Group in Lakewood Ranch responded to my niece's urgent health issue with both urgency and care. It was an example of excellence in pediatric care.The office at First Physicians Group was responsive, attentive, and acted with the urgency required. My niece was able to get a same day visit with her pediatrician, within hours of the initial call. Once in office, my niece received the care and attention required, while I watched as an outsider to the kind bedside manner that Dr. Keeley and all of the staff provided. As an aunt, I was so pleased to see that they treated my niece with the same love and tenderness that her own family would have. This incredible experience made me realize that care like this must be praised as it truly was world-class. Excellent pediatrician!

Best Pediatrician for us!
Dr. Keeley has taken care of our child from his first day of life until now with her knowledgeable background and caring nature. She has seen our child through scary times, including febrile seizures, asthma attacks, infections, allergies, and a bad flu episode, to a healthy young adulthood! We are so grateful that she is a part of our lives and cannot thank her enough as our child heads toward graduation and college. We love Dr. Keeley

Yes for the Dr. Keeley and Dr. Tavares
Dr. Keeley is always friendly and professional, along with Dr, Tavares. Sometimes the front office staff could be more professional at times but other than that we can always get our child seen. Dr. Keeley has been with us since birth!

Dr. Keeley is a phenomenal pediatrician. She has been both of our boys dr since birth and I would not have it any other way. Our children are now 6 and 3 years old and they do not mind going to the dr at all. The enjoy seeing her even when they aren’t feeling their best. She has incredible knowledge and an amazing bedside manner. I would recommend her to anyone.

Second trip to the office in 3 months after changing my son's insurance to what they told us to change to. And after having the same Dr since birth we have to change to another because I do not have 1000 a month for private insurance. And they do not even have the decency to notify patients. When I asked why they did not notify anyone... The response was "do you know how many people we would have had to notify" pray your child does not get sick of you use her.

Dr Keeley has been the primary pediatrician for all of the children in our family as well as extended family. She made welcoming our first child into our family as easy as possible by always answering our questions and helping to put our worries at ease. We are always grateful when she and her staff go above and beyond to help us in times of need by fitting us into her busy schedule. We can't say enough wonderful things about her and are truly thankful for our daughter to be her patient.

Dr. Keeley has always made time to see my daughter, she even returned my call when we were in France. My daughter caught a virus and she arranged an appointment with an English speaking pediatrician in Paris. My daughter adores her. She is kind, soft spoken and an excellent physician.

She enters the exam room singing quietly which is different, but my child was so upset already that the singing didn't make a difference. She spoke so softly I could hardly understand her. All she did was have the nurse give my child shots and said oh gas and acid? I'm referring you to a GI specialist. Our doctor in our old town would have prescribed acid reflux medicine for us instead of sending us to a specialist.
