I saw Dr.Kelly yesterday regarding my knee. He has always been great to explain the options available to treat my condition. I really value his opinion and treatment plan. Resurgens is very fortunate to have him in their practice. Thanks so much, Kathy Kleiman

My knee is finally fixed! After 5 years of searching…a dozen xrays and MRIs, 4 orthopedists, 2 chiropractors, 2 PTs, ice, heat, RXs, shots, etc with no improvement. Dr. Kelly looked at one xray, saw the issue, and performed the needed surgery. He explained all the options, all the risks, and his clear recommendation. Now I’m back in the gym, hiking with my family, and finally moving without pain!

Staff was great and very helpful with my bum knee. Love Dr Kelly and his sketches of my knee issues. He gives great advice that always starts with, "if you were my younger sister, I would tell you to..." The advice is always spot on. He doesn't jump right into surgery but suggests ways to mitigate the injury. Office is suite #100 in the 300 building. Looks small but is huge inside. I usually go to Kennesaw but this location was great too.

Dr. Kelly had provided services for my husband and did an excellent job. This is why I chose to come to Dr. Kelly. He was attentive and explained what was going on with my knees and the tendon that was bothering me. I liked his approach on our next steps. What was impressive, for every 10 lbs lost, you take 40 lbs off your knees! What an incentive that is! Thank you Dr. Kelly. Stephanie Lee

In 2011 I got hurt between 2011 and 2017 I had 10 knee surgeries the doctor destroyed my knee surgeries I had to put a lot of hard work in to get better train very hard so in 2024 my backyard flooded I stepped in a hole and I broke my tibia I stayed off my leg for 3 months went back into the backyard after it flooded again stepped in a hole tore my meniscus no doctor wanted to touch me they were like you had 10 knee surgeries already I was in so much pain we did a MRI and I had a torn meniscus Dr Kelly didn't hesitate to help me to listen to me if you ask me he is the best knee surgeon ever take it from someone that had 11 knee surgeries and if you go see him bring him peanuts that's his favorite he actually is a great surgeon I just seen him yesterday to get two shots of cortisone because once again I fell in my porch in my backyard because a pine tree was coming at me so I was waiting for bruises and I didn't get any so then I called him because I thought I had a tear so I had my MRI thank God I don't have a tear I just needed two shots the right leg already feels 100% better left leg still sore but he's keeping me on the couch for 3 days I guess if you're married that works out great cuz then your husband can do everything for you but no joking he literally pays attention to the patient it's not about the money it's about the patient and my surgery went perfect I would recommend him to anybody but if you really want good service bring them peanuts

Dr. Kelly is an impressive physician who is knowledgeable, straightforward and generous with his time. We were impressed with his bio and were not disappointed during the visit. I’m not a candidate for arthroscopic knee repair, but he throughly covered my condition. He gave me documentation covering prehab and posthab. I highly recommend him if arthroscopic repair is in your future.
