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.

Dr Keefe is an excellent doctor. He really works with me on my sinus issue. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing and ENT doctor. His staff is good too.

First visit with Dr Keefe. He is amazing! Very patient and kind. He listens, makes you feel very comfortable. He is very thorough in his explanations which I truly appreciate. He is very focused on his patient. Patient doctor relationships are very important to me and he has far exceeded my expectations.

Warm and engaging with wonderful personality but do not recommend a neck lift. I had zero results & it was $6,900. I feel he should have known ahead of the procedure that lack of collagen in my neck was the culprit and the lift wasn’t the answer. I’ll never understand why that wasn’t stated until after the procedure as the excuse it didn’t show results. Nice man though.

Staff is great, and Dr.Keefe is fantastic. He is very patient and explains things very well. He doesn’t rush when he is with you and makes sure you don’t have any other questions left unanswered before he leaves your room.

I have known Dr. Keefe for years. As a former surgical practitioner and now a patient, I have found Dr. Keefe to be both kind and gentle. He is never rushed, he is generous with his time with patients. I believe him to be an excellent physician. Now days these qualities seem to be rare with doctors but not with Dr. Keefe.I highly recommend him.

My sister recommended Dr. Keefe to me and I am glad she did. I was having an ear issue and some other things and I had to have surgery for a tube to be inserted in the eardrum but all is well now. The doctor was very thorough and explains everything in terms I understood. Staff is great and the appointments were on time. I highly recommend Dr. Keefe and his staff. Thank you very much!

Price family in Lexington, VA – Sep 25, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Keefe?
The doctor is very nice and I was well treated by his nurse, but the receptionist is nothing but a rude, barking juvenile delinquent who berates people at the front desk over their bill, and is loud and rude and involves the entire waiting room by raising her voice. My whole experience with this physician was ruined, and I will not return. I was in tears and my husband called the office and complained as to how I was treated, but apparently they just blew it off.So just let her run people off.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Keefe today and everything form the time I walked into the office until I left was professional and so helpful. After suffering for a long time with sinus and ear problems I feel that I am finally at the right doctor to get relief and hopefully put this problem to rest. Dr. Keefe gave me hope that he can fix this problem.
