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.

Dismissive
Dr. Keeling was condescending, dismissive, and abrupt. He lacked any level of empathy and had an inappropriate bedside manner. He had boundary adherence and guideline compliance issues.

Ankle review
Dr. Keeling was very thorough, and let me know specifically what the next steps were in the event that I would need surgery in the future. His recommendations to go for physical therapy were just what was needed.

Finally found a doctor who listened
I was walking around on a torn ligament in my foot for 4 years. 2 prior orthopedic docs failed to find it and basically told me nothing was wrong. Dr. Keeling listened, did better imaging, found the tear and surgically repaired it. I thought I would have a handicapped placard on my car the rest of my life. I cannot say more good things.

Best Ortho Doctor Ever!
Great bedside manner. Listened to my concerns and thoughtfully addressed them all. He knows what he's doing. Just fyl, he can help with any problem. Not just an ankle/foot doctor!

Would give Dr. Keeling even more stars if I could. He is very pleasant, takes whatever time is necessary to answer all your questions, and explains in detail what is happening from your injury and what your treatment course will be. I recommend him highly and am sure others if they seek treatment will see why I gave him 5 stars.

Dr. Keeling is a wonderful orthopedist. He explains all of one's options. He operated on my very arthritic foot. He takes the time to answer all of one's questions even those you think of after he has left the room. Lastly, he has a good sense of humor.

Just 5 stars all around. Dr. Keeling took his time, explained everything, and I felt very comfortable. He’s got a great bedside manner, and is just so nice. The staff is wonderful, too, and the offices were just so well-kept that it relaxed me from the moment I walked in. Highly recommended. Third doctor I have used from this group, and ALL of them are stellar.

Two visits both went great. Dr. Keeling correctly diagnosed, treated, and followed-up on my foot injury. It all went very well. Pandemic protocol in office is excellent. Staff are very helpful and efficient. More specific directions to patients about parking would be helpful. It’s a little tricky and really matters with a foot injury.

Dr Keeling is one of the finest orthopedic surgeons in the country. Dr Keeling performed my ankle fusion and the process from preparation for the surgery, the surgery experience itself, and post operative care and long term follow--up were exceptional. I have had two highly successful knee replacements and surgical rotater cuff repair to base my comments on.
