Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My first visit
My knee problem was getting worse. Had been a problem for months, but especially the last 30 days. Dr. Kilkelly was recommended, so I made my appointment. Staff Immediately took xrays.Dr. Kilkelly came into exam room 15- 20 minutes later, we viewed the xrays together and pointed out the source of my pain. He suggested cortisone shots as a first step. 10 minutes later I had the shots and out the door. Total time, a hour there. Happy to say, at least for now, much relief on knee pain... had results in 24 hours , and have now started using the treadmill again. Thanks to Dr. K and his staff.

I on the other hand have been seen by Dr. Kilkelly at least a dozen times, he first fixed my lower back, 10 for that. Then he fixed both shoulder's, again a 10 on that he then fixed my meniscus on the left knee, 10 again. And now in a few weeks he will be replacing my left knee ,10 again . I have never met anyone who has listened to my concerns so intently, bedside manner is perfect. The staff in the office and the surgery room are just as polite and helpful as Frank is , I recommend him. 10
