I had a great experience with Dr. Kelly. He was prompt, attentive, and quickly diagnosed my issue without ordering unnecessary tests or procedures. He’s charismatic, easy to talk to, and clearly understands the needs of active adults who want to stay that way. He laid out a straightforward treatment plan focused on keeping me moving while addressing the root of the problem. Highly recommend — especially for active older adults who appreciate efficiency, expertise, and a doctor who genuinely respects your time.
