Dr Kelly information.....



Recommended Posts

I have tried to contact Dr. Kelly several times via his website and have gotten zero responses. Does anyone have a good up to date contact info for him? I would love to talk to him or his coordinator.

I am looking to have my sleeve at the end of May. Hoping to get all the information I could before booking.

Any great stories are welcome. Or horror stories.

I had a great experience with Dr Kelly! I highly recommend him! His training and credentials are very respectable. His coordinator is Lora Lee at (423) 367-3031. Please contact me with any questions. He's definitely worth paying a few more dollars. He's very concerned about safety and will only do surgery at a real hospital, no clinics.

Good luck!

Linda

Linda, thank you for the response. I will give that number a call Monday. You ever find a email that worked as well?

How long ago did he treat you? I am looking at the end of May. Any tips?

I'm trying to decide between Dr. Kelly and Dr. Aceves. Pros of Dr Kelly are he is close to San Diego and less expensive than Aceves but my communication has always been with Cecy and I still don't feel like I have 100% of the information I need like how many nights in the hospital, how many nights in hotel. It all seems a bit wishy washy.

Pros of Dr Aceves is his coordinator Nina is awesome, I have 100% of all the info I need, no questions left unanswered. Cons are the drive from SD airport (after 23 hours of flights) and he's a bit more expensive.

How in the world do I decide? They both have openings the day I need in March.

I loved my experience with Dr Kelly. I had my surgery with him in July. He is hand down one of the better experienced surgeons. The hospital is very good

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
