Patient Experience Reviews
Great experience with care provider, but haven't heard back about the results of my X-ray and blood test.
Excellent care provided by this doctor. We came in from *** because we needed a note stating whether my daughter (high schooler) could continue running or not - ASAP. We were extremely impressed by the office and the care that was given to our daughter! We hope this note gets back to her because she is definitely doing what she was made for. Thank you!
Dr Kelly and her team went above and beyond.
She was very knowledgeable and thorough
Amazing care team
Dr Kelly was great I will definitely see her again if I ever need to.
Our experience was fantastic. From the front desk, the nurse, to the doctor. Everyone was very kind and patient with my daughter. Explaining everything in a way she could understand. I was extremely happy with our visit.
Great experience with Ms. Amanda Kelly

She was awesome. I am so glad she is helping me.
Excellent service
