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.

Extremely excellent!
I originally began my relationship with Graystone Eye and Dr. Kelly when I was diagnosed with WMD in my left eye. Dr. Kelly was heading up a funded research project and I became a subject. In the past four years I have been under his care. He is friendly, competent and professional. My eyesight is intact under his guidance and I have complete confidence in his humane and professional diagnostic and treatment protocols.

Compassionate
Dr Kelty has helped me retain my eyesight for seven years and of all the eye doctors I’ve seen, he is by far the best in three States.

Dr. Kelty is a highly qualified specialist. He will not spend much time with you, but you'll feel like he has provided good consultation and knows what he is doing. If you want more, you will need to be the one that asks the questions and should follow up with you general ophthalmologist for answering basic questions not related to his specialty services. Dr. Kelty will preserve your sight, but you may not feel satisfied with your care in terms of how he is addressing your needs if you are dealing with low vision for the first time. Graystone makes up for this by providing really helpful support staff that will answer your questions and fill in the blanks.
