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.

Exceptional experience. Dr. Kelly clearly explains your injury and the next steps in recovery.

Dr. Kelly is a gifted surgeon. I would be totally disabled now if I had not had surgery with Dr. Kelly. While I was in the hospital he came in on a Sunday afternoon to see how I was. His patients and the care they receive are his first priority.

Dr Kelley, and his staff are professional, kind, and courteous. Dr Kelley always spends the time needed to explain The diagnosis. He also clearly explains what you can expect during your recovery. He has preformed 3 of my spine surgeries and I’m proud to say I’m pain free. I would highly recommend Dr Kelley.

All of the staff made me feel super welcome which really helped me since I do not live in a big city. Dr. Kelly was also very kind and made sure to ask me anything that he did not know instead of just assuming things. He was very professional. He listened to my concerns and acted accordingly and answered the questions which I had. He is totally worth the hour and a half drive away from my small town!

Dr. Kelley and his staff are extremely attentive and informative. I left a different/well-known orthopedic practice to see Dr. Kelley at Peachtree orthopedics and was beyond impressed with everything from the friendliest staff to the knowledge and concern of Dr. Kelley. Best ortho I’ve seen and I’ve seen many in Atlanta as I played college tennis. I feel very confident in my diagnosis and my future care under Dr. Kelley’swatchful eye and expertise.
