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.

He saved my sisters life in 1976 with surgery and a Harrington rod, she was 11. She went on to have a ballet career and is now 57 years old. Was talking to someone about this today and thought to look the amazing doctor up. She was in a body cast for 11 months, amazing surgeon.

In 1979 Dr. Keim preformed surgery to correct my scoliosis which was quite severe. I also have Osteogenesis Imperfecta which is a brittle bone disease. Im now 70 and to this day I'm far better for having had Dr. Keim as my surgeon. Without a doubt I would trust in his care and knowledge. Many thanks for improving my life Dr. Keim.

Dr. Keim treated me for scoliosis during my teen years throughout the 1980s. I received excellent care from him and he advised my parents wisely regarding course of treatment. I was braced the entire time and never spent a day in a hospital following my initial Xrays and diagnosis. I attended his clinics every 3 months for checkups at a pediatric practice in Teaneck, NJ, as well as my orthotist visits (RIP I. Zamasky). Glad he is still practicing.

So surprised to see this money grubbing,egomaniac still practicing medicine in his 80s. He caused more cancer in children in the 70s and knew exactly what he was doing through over radiating them to make a buck. Left his wife to marry some women who sold videos on butt sculpturing so he was pushing those for her telling pts they needed to tone up. And buy this video. Only Dr I ever met who asked parents for money in front of their kids being treated for scoliosis not a caring bone in his body
