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.

Dr Kelleher is among the best dermatologist who have treated me. I have been a Dermatology patient for about 30 years. His diagnosis and screening are exemplary. He does not jump on the Mohs bandwagon like so many in the Greater Atlanta area. I believe many Mohs recommendations are unnecessary. Dr Kelleher's years of experience are far more valuable than New Breed who live by Mohs.

Dr. Kelleher has been my dermatologist for 8 years now. Excellent dermatologist who listens to your concerns and has diagnosed and treated various skin conditions. He also has a very friendly staff.

Dr. Swayzer – Jul 21, 2020

I am shocked to see this man is still in practice. He cut deep into my lip without using any sort of local anesthetic. A lot of blood. I could see on the nurses face her concern. I had to tell him to stop as I was in a lot of pain and literally shaking. I later saw his practice had closed and thought he’d retired. I was in need of a dermatologist and googled some nearby, imagine my shock to see he was still practicing elsewhere. It is time he retire.

Can honestly say worst doctor I've seen in 30 yrs. While there were no other patients, I spent nearly an hour waiting for him. Then, he was brusque, rude, and totally missed the spot on my face he was supposed to be treating. I had to find another derm to treat this precancerous lesion. This old goat should have retired a long time ago !!!

I usually use another doc, but heard he was good. But he doesn’t listen. His bedside manner is terrible. The biopsy he did was extremely plainly all day, and swollen. Black and blue. He did not seem to care about my concerns.

Dr. Kelleher spent minimal time with me and I was his first patient of the day... As I attempted to explain my history to him, he continuously was backing towards the door and giving only nods to me. When I asked about other modalities and treatment options, he said no, that's a waste of time and only prescribed me a topical steroid for my current situation, that I actually have been dealing with for 8 years now. He wanted no time with me and could care less about my opinions and health. I would

NEVER GO TO FAMILY DERMATOLOGY ESPECIALLY THIS DR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went for a simple visit which cost $97.06, which I paid immediately in 8/2014 and received confirmation for, but a year later they tried to re-bill me for the same visit and now 2 years later sent it to collections where I have a debt collector calling. I have provided proof now that I paid over 3 times to HIS OFFICE DIRECTLY, HIS BILLING COMPANY, AND NOW A DEBT COLLECTOR!!!! Do your self a favor and avoid this headache and aw
