I've been a patient at Resurgens for over 20 years including 2 surgeries, 1 fractured foot, and countless injections. Recently the shoulder had surgery on many moons ago started acting up again. The Doctor that performed the surgery is still with Resurgens but at their St.Joe location at Perimeter which is no longer convenient for me. I literally picked Dr. Kelly from a list on their site at the Chastain location. He was awesome! The whole process from check in to check out was smooth & painless. I had x-rays, physical exam, consultation & cortisone injection. All of which was done in about 30 minutes. Dr. Kelly was personable, thorough & quick! I would definitely see him again!

Dr. Robert Kelly is one of the best doctors I have ever met. He is very patient and extremely knowledgeable in his field. I truly believe that if he could completely heal me, he would. With my bilateral knee arthritis, I know that if I continue to lose weight and exercise, I will continue to get better over time. I will definitely refer anyone to him.🙌🏾👏🏽👌🏾

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.
