Dr. Daniel Kelly, MD

Thank you, Dr. Kelly and Dr. Kahn. After 5 years of seeing many other doctors with more than 30 visits across the country because I needed to remove a large left frontal lobe Meningioma, I felt the most comfortable with Dr. Kelly because he only does operations on the brain. I feel if you need brain surgery you should only go to a doctor who specializing in brain surgery. Of all the doctors I saw, he was the only one to say long term use of drugs and a long hospital stay were not what he expected. Per the most recent report of 2023, the Providence Hospital system working with Dr. Kelly had the best results and outcomes for patients and the shortest hospital stays. My operation was on a Thursday morning and I was released on Friday afternoon. I actually walked to dinner on Friday night. I walked a total of 4 to 6 miles daily after the operation. I feel that Dr. Kelly, Dr. Khan and Amy Eisenberg gave me my life back. Thank you again for saving my life so I can enjoy the rest of it now.

In November of 2020 my son was diagnosed with Cushing’s Syndrome in our home state of Alaska. We traveled to Sana Monica for treatment where he was seen by Dr. Daniel Kelly at the Pacific Neuroscience Institute. My first contact with PNI was when I submitted an inquiry on their website at 10pm. I heard back from Dr. Kelly personally by 7 the next morning and my son had an appointment with Dr. Kelly two days later. Dr. Kelly ordered a series of diagnostic tests at nearby Providence St. John’s Hospital and also referred my son to an excellent endocrinologist in the area, Dr. Pejman Cohan. It was determined my son had ectopic Cushing’s Syndrome caused by a neuroendocrine tumor in his lung. He ultimately had surgery at the NIH hospital in Bethesda Maryland, but I credit our initial visits with Dr. Kelly as vital to my son’s successful treatment. At every turn I found Dr. Kelly and his staff to be outstanding in every way… dedicated, knowledgeable, compassionate, and incredibly accessible.

Can't say enough good things about Dr.Kelly! He is honest legit humble caring and kind. I have a microadenoma in my pituitary, consulted with Dr.Kelly to hear his thoughts on how to proceed, he did not recommend surgery. Which was great news, but he will continue to monitor what I appreciated the most was his genuine interaction and not blowing me off as insignificant. His entire team is top of the line do not hesitate to be seen by them!

Words cannot describe the level of gratitude my father and I feel towards Dr. Kelly – talented, kind, humble, one of a kind Surgeon. In most parts of the World, my 81-year-old father would be placed at the end of the long waiting list, considering his age. Dr. Kelly immediately took my father in, as he understood that 4cm tumor pressuring the brain was critical to remove. My father couldn’t walk or speak well anymore, it was progressing fast. Dr. Kelly removed 100% of tumor which was almost impossible. Nurses at the hospital called the scar Piece of Art. Just 2 months later, 10 cm scar has completely disappeared and dad is bald. Unbelievable! My dad now takes walks 3 times a day, speaks very fast again and enjoys beautiful weather of LA : ) Dr. Kelly saved his life. Thanks to everyone, especially to Dr. Richard Garling and Amy A. Eisenberg. Pacific Neuroscience Institute is a place of true Angels in the City of Los Angeles. Highly recommend them! Bless their beautiful hearts <3

YES, I would definitely recommend Dr. Kelly to everyone. He is the best in his field of medicine.

Dr Kelly is one of the best Dr's on the planet - He removed my tumor in 2012 and I am fine - He was so caring and down to earth- He is very skilled and makes you feel like its gonna be okay. I was lucky to find him -

Dr Kelly is a highly skilled world renowned Neurosurgeon. Before seeing him we met with top Neurosurgeons in Singapore, Thailand, India, Nepal and USA to find a possible treatment of my 10 yrs old son who had been suffering from pituitary tumor. After unsuccessful surgery in Singapore in 2016 and Gamma Knife at UPMC, Pittsburgh in 2017, my son's health was deteriorating day by day and no hope for any treatment on him. We had journeyed around the world and consulted Harvard, CHOP, John Hopkins, UPMC, Mayo, PNI and London. After a long discussions worldwide, decided to go with Dr Daniel F Kelly at PNI. We flew to LA a 16 hours plane ride covering more than 8,000 miles away with a great hope to save his life. On 5th March 2019, Dr Daniel F Kelly and Dr Chester Griffiths (ENT) performed surgery to remove the tumor. Now it seems that whole tumor removed and they saved the boy. Dr Kelly and Dr Griffiths are the top most and highly skilled surgeons in the world and we highly recommend them.

Dr. Kelly and Dr. Griffiths receive my highest possible recommendation. They removed a tumor on top of my pituitary gland that was resting against my optical nerve. They flawlessly removed the entire tumor utilizing a minimally invasive technique. 5 out of 5 stars.

Dr. Kelly was not the first doctor I’ve seen after my initial diagnosis, yet after my first consultation, I KNEW that Dr. Kelly was going to be my surgeon. I live in the US and despite having highly recommended surgeons practicing right next to me, I was not going to skim on anything… I needed the ABSOLUTE BEST. Dr. Kelly’s wonderful demeanor, kindness in his eyes, coupled with his true sincerity and calm explanation to my endless list of questions made me feel at ease right away. He displayed genuine devotion throughout the entire procedure and process thereafter. Dr. Kelly is an amazing person with gentle and wonderful bedside manners. He didn’t give up, even after performing the surgery for many hours straight. He persisted until he was successful in getting my tumor out. I'm forever grateful to Dr. Kelly and his awesome team for all they've done for me! At this opportunity I'd like to thank his one of a kind assistant, Amy Eisenberg! And yes! I surely wounded up THE ABOSUTE BEST

Dr Kelly removed my Meningioma tumor when I was told it was inoperable,,he and his team made me and my family feel very comfortable with moving ahead with the cranium surgery...very compassionate,,,forever grateful to him

I was diagnosed with non secreting pituitary adenoma which affected my vision and Dr. Dan Kelly was highly recommended by my endocrinologist and primary physician. On our first visit, I was impressed by how he listened to our concerns and the empathy he showed us. Despite of his accolades and accomplishments, he was never beyond speaking to us with a kind and compassionate tone that made us feel at ease about the upcoming surgery. Pituitary tumor was removed and he did an excellent job!

I WISH ICOULD GIVE DR DAVID KELLY 10 stars!... I am a recently retired nurse. I had seen FOUR specialists regarding a cyst on my pituitary gland. I had vision loss, daily debilitating headaches but, the gland is functioning perfectly. All my specialists decided to refer me out of area to a teaching hospital, CEDARS SINAI. THAT WAS A DISASTER! So, my neurosurgeon, Dr David Westra here in Ventura, referred me to Dr Kelly. He said, " I would send my own family to him." Dr Kelly IS outstanding!

I recently had my pituitary tumor removed by Dr. Kelly and Dr. Griffiths. I thought they did an excellent job with the surgery. I would highly recommend these two doctors and the Pacific Neuroscience Institute to anyone needing pituitary surgery.

I did not have a good experience in my apt with Dr Kelly. He & Dr Cohan do not "believe" in cyclical Cushing’s. I have heard good things about Dr Kelly from other patients and clearly he is a good surgeon. I think the Dr Duo are a good pair for a patient who is suffering from florid Cushing's who is easier to diagnose. Unfortunately if you are suffering from cyclical Cushing's, this pair is unlikely to help you. There is, however, another local doctor who specializes in the hardest cases.

Dr Kelly is a highly skilled and caring professional. I met with top surgeons in London and the US to find the best surgeon/approach to remove a tumour threatening my vision. With an advanced technical approach the tumour was removed through an incision in my eyebrow. Compared to a classic craniotomy, incision is minuscule, recovery time fast, very little pain, cosmetically undetectable. Dr Kellys team and the hospital are first class. I strongly recommend Dr Kelly and I am forever grateful.

I just had Neurosurgery with Dr. Kelly and his whole team at PNI. I honestly wish that I was afforded the opportunity to provide more than 5 stars. I cannot say enough about how I was treated by Dr. Kelly, Dr. Griffiths, their team of doctors and nurses and the whole Providence St. Johns Hospital. I did extreme vetting over the last 3 years of neurosurgeons and facilities and I was finally led 2500 miles from my home to have my recent surgery. Dr. Kelly and Dr. Griffiths embody what a physic

Dr. Kelly and Dr. Griffiths helped to develop endoscopic pituitary surgery and have assembled one of the best teams available for this type of surgery. Dr. Kelly was able to remove 100 percent of the tumor. My post op recovery was quick and nearly painless. Six weeks after the operation my pituitary function is nearly fully restored.

Dr. Daniel Kelly and his excellent team took care of my father for over a decade. My father Mr.W was first diagnosed with a Grade II atypical meningioma when I was in middle school. He required multiple surgeries to remove the recurrent tumor over the course of eleven years. Dr. Kelly has been with my family every step of the way. Dr. Kelly is not only a brilliant and talented surgeon who gave my father’s life back (not once, but three times) but also a truly understanding and patient doctor.

Dr. Kelly, Dr. Barkhoudarian, Dr. Sivakumar, Dr. Griffiths and their entire team are beyond amazing. They are calm, kind, extremely compassionate and highly skilled in what they do. I had been to some of the top doctors on the east and west coast prior to finding Dr. Kelly. No one compared to him and his associates. I am forever grateful to have found them and forever thankful for their amazing work.

Dr. Kelly is a true professional as is Dr. Griffiths, this team of doctors are and were my true gift life. I think god every day that husband found Dr. Kelly on You Tube of all places. We rated Dr. Kelly on Best Doctors, and had I surgery less than a month later. Dr. Kelly and his team are the best in world, and I was lucky to have Dr. Kelly do my surgery. 5 years after surgery and I doing great thanks to Dr. Kelly, Dr. Griffiths and their brilliant surgical team and skills.
