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.

The BEST doctor you can find!
Dr. "K" as he is affectionately known at Lakeview Hospital is a great doctor and I am lucky to have found him. I have seen Dr. K. for many years now, despite the fact that it is an hour plus drive away and there are doctors closer that could treat my condition. He is very thorough and will do things right. I recently got very sick and he sent me straight to Lakeview Hospital to be admitted; there all the nurses just gushed about how much they liked him and how he treats the nurses like the intelligent, competent individuals that they are - unlike the vast majority of doctors who treat nurses badly. That right there tells you a lot about his character. He came and saw me one night at almost 9pm, meaning he had been there all day and still I was important enough to him to come see me and make sure I was doing ok. My condition has a brand new treatment that revolutionizes how my condition is treated, yet many doctors are reluctant to prescribe it. Dr K let me have it. Thank you!!

HORRIBLE! do yourself a favor and stay as far away from this unprofessional doctor as possible. My mother was his patient while in a long-term care facility. He came into her room incoherent. and said: " I saw her lab work keep doing what you're doing" and walked right out. No explanation no elaboration I went behind him and tried to get a clear understanding of my mother's care plan. This so-called Dr. told me you don't know what you're talking about when I simply asked him a question.

Dr. Keshelava and his staff are very friendly. Short waits at the office. He is a little difficult to understand sometimes, but I am able to go online to get copies of my visits and call with questions. I would recommend him to others.

Dr. Keshelava took time to listen to our concerns and he asked questions to get a better understanding of our needs. The nursing staff at this office was very pleasant and empowering, one of the kindest I have seen thus far. I would recommend Dr. Keshelava to anyone that is needing a liver or infectious disease doctor. Dr. Keshelava definitely gets 5 stars from us!!

We tried to go over everything on his first visit but after we waited 1 1/2 hrs, we saw him for less than 5min. He kept acting like we were wasting his time. Since then, my husband has been scheduled at the Mayo clinic in MN. We have seen several specialist & no one can diagnosis him. All of my husband's drs have to submit to our insurance so the can determine coverage. He won't submit anything because he says he diagnosed him with mono. We hold him he's been positive for over a yr the 1st visit
