James T. Kelly Jr. Md's Online Review Report Card

MY husband and I have been going to Dr Kelly for almost 10 years and have found him to be patient, informative and caring. He has explained our conditions and tests and referred us to the necessary specialist when needed. We consider him an excellent Primary Physician Joe and Joan Jasko

My husband and I have been with Dr. Kelly for 8-9 years. He is one of the best primary doctors we've ever had (we are 84 and 87) He always answers all our questions, spends time listening and explaining our medical problems to us and is very thorough. Grateful to have him. Joe and Joan Jasko

Dr Kelly is one of the best doctors. All those negative reviews in a row seemed "off" somehow. I've seen the man for 28 years. Plus family goes tp him too and a couple of friends.. All of whom are very pleased with Dr. Kelly

It's taken me years to be able to write this review - the way Dr. Kelly treated me as a teenager has damaged me for a long time. I sincerely hope he's changed. I know this review is long, but I hope you read it before you consider seeing or bringing your child to see Dr. Kelly. When I was a senior in high school, facing all the insane stresses that seniors face, I developed some really severe anxiety. For those of you who have experienced severe anxiety before you know the physical manifestations are alarming - chronic feelings of chest pain & tightness, shortness of breath, and feeling as though your heart is racing. After months of misery, my sweet & wonderful mother finally took me in to see Dr. Kelly so we could make sure nothing physical was going wrong with me. Dr. Kelly had been our family doctor for years, had seen relatives of ours, and though he's cautious and thorough he is neither kind nor a good listener. Testing was done, which was all well and good, and I was referred to several specialists, each of whom were wonderful, patient, and kind. However, it was during a follow-up appointment with Dr. Kelly that I experienced the most appalling behavior I have ever seen from a medical professional. It's worth noting that, at the time, I was also going through a short period where I was trying to be vegan, but I was struggling to find food to eat that 'checked all the boxes,' so to speak. Because of this, I was rapidly losing weight. Dr. Kelly, on seeing this weight loss, didn't ask me what was going on. Instead, he looked me in the eyes and asked, "Are you struggling with an eating disorder?" When I said no, he said, and I kid you not - "Are you sure? You aren't doing a little bit of the --" and then he pantomimed sticking his finger down his throat while making gagging noises. With my mother in the room. You can't make this up. I was mortified, and he continued to talk over me as I tried to explain what was going on. It was exhausting and I decided it wasn't worth trying to explain anymore. In addition to this, in this same appointment, we were going over some bloodwork and there were some strange numbers that he remarked were indicative of someone abusing over-the-counter drugs (which I was not doing). He offered no other explanation, did not seem interested in any attempts to help me find out if there was something else going on, simply threw the accusation out to my mother and moved on with the meeting. During one of the most vulnerable times of my life, I have never felt more completely humiliated and brushed off by someone I was supposed to be able to trust. I never returned to Doctor Kelly, but I hold him responsible for the anxiety I feel every time I seek medical care in any capacity. I've been fortunate to have many kind, patient, and humble doctors since, but I will never forget the way I was treated while under Dr. Kelly's care.

Dr. Kelly had been our family doctor for years, had seen relatives of ours, and though he's cautious and thorough he is neither kind nor a good listener. As a teenager, back in 2014, I was going through a short period where I was trying to be vegan, but I was struggling to find food to eat that 'checked all the boxes,' so to speak. Because of this, I was rapidly losing weight. Dr. Kelly, on seeing this weight loss, didn't ask me what was going on. Instead, he looked me in the eyes and asked, "Are you struggling with an eating disorder?" When I said no, he said, and I kid you not - "Are you sure? You aren't doing a little bit of the --" and then he pantomimed sticking his finger down his throat while making gagging noises. With my mother in the room. You can't make this up. I'm running out of characters for this review, but this isn't the last instance of appalling behavior, it's simply the worst. Would not recommend this doctor in the slightest.

Weather was bad. I was 15 min late and said I had to reschedule. Took time off work. Just needed to have a script refilled. Unacceptable. Dropped him after 10yrs. Not worth the drive.
