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.

He performed a hernia surgery on me and the best Dr. Makes you feel totally comfortable in an uncomfortable situation.. Awesome Dr.

I feel so fortunate to have Dr. Kelty as my surgeon. He is very caring, takes the time to answer all my questions, & goes out if his way for his patients. He is a good man. And his staff is great as well!

He is an excellent, compassionate surgeon. I had him do my surgery for breast cancer and then few months later he was my choice when my 20 year old son had an emergency hernia surgery. Not only is he an expert but he really cares about his patients!!

After being told by an un-named surgeon that my mother needed a colostomy bag/surgery, we demanded a second opinion and were sent to Dr. Kelty. Best thing that ever happened to my mom. He went in, precisely removed the cancerous / affected area and there was no bag needed. Infuriates me to think that people get talked into things they don't need. Dr. Kelty took precious time with us - answered all of our questions and we felt like he was a friend at the end. Thank God for second opinions!
