Our daughter Allison (who was born with down syndrome) was hurt on July 5th almost 3 years ago. Our sons dog had the zoomies and knocked her down. After being taken to the hospital via ambulance we were told that her left knee was not attached and had torn tendons below and above the knee. The damage was severe. She was seen by another doctor and he said the only doctor that was qualified to handle such a devastating injury was Dr. Kelly. After examining her Dr. Kelly said that he could do the surgery. This was actually 3 surgeries at one time. The surgery was not until October 17th because medicare would not approve the surgery. Dr. Kelly even did everything he could to help us even writing letters to Medicare. It was a long and complicated surgery but Allison did beautifully. After 9 months of PT going 2 hours a day 3 days a week she is doing perfect. Even though she had a very long incision and a shorter incision the scar is hardly noticeable. I will never be able to thank Dr. Kelly and his team for everything that he did for Allison. Allison and both cried the day he said that we didn't have to come back because she loves him so much.
