Easy to get an appointment for your schedule. I have had treatment for my knee problem, foot problems and broken finger. All doctors are very professional and always explain the treatment that is best. Will continue to go for my orthopedic needs.

Dr. Kelly came highly recommended to me and he lived up to his hype. He was very friendly, down to earth, with an excellent bedside manner. His explanation of my situation and my available options were quite clear. I would recommend him to anyone.

I went to a different doctor and practice, twice, over the span of a year in pain. Saw Dr Kelly and within a month my pain was gone with the stretches and exercises he gave me. Excellent doctor.

Great experience! Dr Kelly was helpful, informative & great about addressing lifestyle, exercise & natural ways to address the issue over meds.

Dr. Kelly and his staff are top tier! He's handled both my knee replacements and my rotator cuff surgery with bicep tenodesis and clavicle resection. I'd recommend him in a heart beat.

Dr Kelly is the best!! I tore my ACL skiing and couldn't be happier that he did my surgery. He was so informative and has a great bed side manner. Hopefully I don't need surgery again but if I did, I would be a return patient.

I am a repeat patient. It was an easy decision to choose Resurgens because of its excellent surgeons and great staff. Dr Kelly did a good job of making sure I understood the procedure and what to expect.
