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. Timothy Kelliher
Dr. Kelliher has listened to my problems with headaches and concussion issues. He is caring, and takes the time to make sure he is delivering the nerve block in the correct place in a very delicate part of the body. Unfortunately I have seen a plethora of doctors and Dr. Kelliher has helped more than anybody. After 7 or 8 years of no relief, I found him and he has been able to help me maintain as much a normal life as possible. At times I will forget about my headaches. This has not happended with any other physician.

Best in this field.
Been a patient of Dr. Timothy Kelliher for 20+ years. He's always been up to date on all my medical needs & follows ups. He listens, takes his time, answers all my questions, & I would highly recommend him.

Don’t waste your time.
I should have known when I called and could get an appt within 2 wks when all other neurologists had a 6-8 month wait for new patients. Dr. Kelliher was condescending and of absolutely no use to diagnosing any neurological issues that I have. He was more interested in talking about himself than listening to my problems. I ended up waiting 8 months to see another neurologist. Dr. Kelliher is unprofessional, to say the least.

Great Bedside Manner, Thorough, Top Notch
Dr. Kelliher was patient, comforting and professional. He had excellent bedside manner and did a very thorough examination then gave me options as how to proceed. After reading a couple of the negative reviews, I went in somewhat on guard, but with an open mind. After I walked out, I have to question the negative reviewers. That was not at all the physician and treatment I experienced. Do not even think twice about seeing Dr. Kelliher. He is a credit to his profession.

I was referred to him by a prominent orthopedic surgeon. He came out to the waiting room, walked to his office, seated himself, then looked at me as I was still standing in the doorway, and said to me: “I really don’t know why they sent you to me”! I was dumbfounded and I said my ortho referred me to you for “neuropathy!! No follow-up from him, but with his NP, who was more heartless than him! I suffer to this day with neuropathy pain!

Incorrect diagnosis, dismissed the use of MRIs, inappropriate comments during exam; it was very upsetting. No attendant during exam - this a should be required, especially for female patients.

During an EMG, when I was exposed from the waisr down & full of needles xferring electrical current, Dr. Tim Kelleher said, “I love hearing women scream.” If I hadn’t been so full of needles, Iwould have walked out right then.

I saw Dr. Keliher for 10 years. After 10 years of seeing him and receiving treatment I found out he misdiagnosed me and read an EEG completely wrong. Not only that he does not monitor patients for side effects.
