What patients say

Vibe: kid-friendly

Overwhelmingly positive aggregate sentiment (16 of 18 five-star reviews) with strong emphasis on Dr. Kelley's exceptional care, staff friendliness, and excellent handling of anxious/young children. However, two critical one-star reviews highlight significant concerns: one regarding parental separation policy during procedures and lack of consent communication, and another regarding billing transparency and upfront cost disclosure. These billing and consent issues present notable operational friction points despite otherwise exceptional clinical and interpersonal reviews.
