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.

Compassionate care
I’ve been dealing with the consequences of a life spent outdoors. Dr Kelso and her staff have always been gentle but thorough with the liquid nitrogen sprayer for removing actinic keratosis (pre-cancers). I recommend them.

Dr. Kelso is an excellent physician. She is extremely intelligent, compassionate, and possesses a great deal of common sense. I am a retired orthopedic surgeon, and I truly appreciate “old school” physicians like Dr. Kelso who have plenty of time for their patients; truly a rarity nowadays!

Went in for treatment of spots developing on hand, was given an expensive cream to use for several weeks, which made no difference. Will not return.

I don't normally rate physicians, but I felt compelled to add this one after reading the one negative review above. I am in my late 60s, had polio as a child, which necessitated four major surgeries (which took me from a wheelchair and braces to walking unaided on my own two feet) and during the past decade also had two surgeries for bunions, just to give you some idea of my lifetime experience with physicians. I have been fortunate to have had excellent physicians and surgeons and therefore feel qualified to say that Dr. Kelso is a superb specialist. She is quite knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring, and always makes me feel as though she has all the time in the world for me during my exams/visits. While her practice offers cosmetic services, I see her for routine checkups -- the all-over body exam -- and have had no problems with the billing procedures of her practice. In short, she and her staff are terrific.
