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.

Best doctor I've ever had
I'm writing from long distance. I had Dr. Kelling when he practiced in Brevard, NC. I quickly realized what a superb physician he was. I was so lucky to have found him.I moved to Brevard from Ann Arbor, MI, the home of major medical facilities. No one was as informative, thorough, as good of a diagnostician or caring as Dr. Kelling. I wished I had met him earlier!Now, I'm back in Ann Arbor, and dealing with a myriad of health issues, and I so wish I had Dr.Kelling as an advocate and advisor. This MI 'hollowed medical system' is sorely lacking. I need his help and guidance. You are so lucky if you can see him! Please give him my regards.

Dr James kelling is an excellent pulmonologist. No matter where he has his office, he is a blessing in that community. He's been my doctor for over 23 years and treated my severe asthma. I highly recommend him.

They don't make Doctors like Dr. Kelling anymore. He is without a doubt the best doctor I have ever met in my 68 years of age. Kind, considerate, compassionate an everything one needs in a physician. Don't hesitate to see him. You won't believe it!

Dr. James Kelling has been my internist for more than a decade. He is a superb diagnostician with a warm and gracious personality who never appears rushed or impatient as he focuses on a patient's concerns and is extraordinarily articulate and proactive in explaining his diagnoses. He and his colleague, Dr. Carmen Kelling, are highly trained in their specialties of internal medicine, pulmonology, and sleep medicine, and have organized a practice that is efficient, patient-friendly, up-to-date.

Highly recommend Dr. Kelling to anyone with a sleep related problem. He actually listens to the patient and is through in his explanations back to the patients. His overnight sleep study is top rated and the staff is well trained and also has exceptional communication skills. The entire discovery of how sleep apnea had so negatively impacted our lives turned into such a wonderful life changing event. We are so grateful to Dr. Kelling.
