I chose ophthalmology because it gave me the ability to help patients both in the clinical and surgical settings. As a medical student, I had the opportunity to observe eye surgery and it gave me a better understanding of the anatomy of the eye, which I still find absolutely fascinating.
Now, as a practitioner, providing the highest quality of care for my patients is one of my best qualities, which requires patience, excellent surgical skill, and great communication skills. By collaborating together, I help patients understand what is happening with their eyes and give them the confidence of knowing they are in good hands for their eye care.
I especially enjoy being able to make a drastic difference in a patient’s quality of life by performing cataract and corneal surgery (for which I have sub-specialty training), and guiding them through the process before, during, and after.

Listened and explained my options very well. She provided information to take home and gave me a realistic description of my current situation and possible resolutions. I appreciate her communication skills!
Dr Kelly takes such good care of my eyes. Always questioning and getting down to the root cause of any things she suspects is wrong with my eyes.
Dr Kelly Was Wonderful As Usual.
I was professional and lots of knowledge
Dr Kelly is the ultimate in professional ophthalmology care. She is personable, highly knowledgeable absolutely skilled in every facet of my care, and takes time to explain and answer questions. She wants the very best for me every time I've talked to her. I will continue seeing Dr. Kelly for all my Opthalmology needs.
ok I guess
Dr Kelly explained everything thoroughly in a unhurried manner.
she took extra time to double and triple check her exam to find a small foreign body inside my eyelid prior to my leaving the next day for Africa to do heart surgery on kids
Friendly and knowledgeable.
Dr. Kelly provided us with an excellent summery of the data that resulted from my wife's test results.
