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.

I had a cyst removed from my vocal cord and I had zero pain after the procedure (unbelievable).I did not have to take any aspirin or throat lozenges. Highly recommended

Having a septoplasty surgery can be one of the scariest things to commit to in life. It'll hurt and can leave you looking different from before. Dr. Keefe embodies everything I would want in a doctor. Caring, patient, compassionate. He really takes the time to make sure that he hears out everything on your mind and to arm you with as much info as he can to help you know what to expect. He simply makes you feel comfortable the moment he walks in the room. I have never breathed better & look great

Dr. Keefe had a huge positive impact on my life when he fixed my severe deviated septum and broken nose 25 years ago in San Diego, CA. I never took the time to truly thank him, but I think about him quite often and how he changed my outlook on life through his work! Dr. Keefe is a true professional and a kind humanitarian. I hope to thank him in person one day. Mahalo, Phoenix

He did my nose 20 years ago while he was a navy doc. Every time I tell someone I've had my nose done they are shocked because it looks so good and fits my face perfectly. (He "designed" it.) Even after 20 yrs. the tip is still lifted and the deviated septum I had prior to surgery is still open and I can breathe well. I know several other people that he operated on back then and they too are still enjoying the artistic quality of his work. You're blessed to have him in California!

Dr. Keefe is Highly Recommended. He performed a tonsillectomy on me a few weeks ago, and for a 31 year old that's a really big procedure to get done. He did a great job on explaining the in procedure from start to finish. The Sharp Memorial facility is beautiful, very clean and high tech. The Nurses, Anesthesiologist MD, and Dr Keefe did a an Amazing job at ensuring my well being from start to finish.

A number of years back I was I was recommended to Dr.Michael Keefe by another physician for a tracheotomy scar. He was excellent in every way possible. From his kind demeanor and humor, to his expertise in his field. I came away with a most minimal line that has faded and blended well into my neckline from a previously ugly twisted scar that was even uncomfortable for many years. I highly recommend him and if they had a rating for Most Excellent, I'd be checking it. I am truly grateful to him.

Dr. Keefe is a phenomenal doctor with great people skills. He made me feel comfortable and confident about my surgical procedure. Dr. Keefe also did his best to make sure my scars would not be so apparent in the future.
