Been seeing Dr Keilin for over 11 years and is the only doctor to successfully find what was wrong with me and the only one to fix my situation to 100%. I never thought back when I got sick, that it was ever possible to fell this well again.

Dr Keilin isn't very personable and very matter of fact, I sometimes think his delivery of the information is providing his patients should be done with a little bit more care and understanding. While I know he's been highly recommended for the procedure that I need. I'm very grateful to have him as my doctor But just would appreciate a softer bedside manner.

Dr Keilin was was great he took the time to look at all of my previous history and scans. He then contacted me about his opinion of the next steps we should take to make the right diagnosis. He recommended a ERCP . I am five days out from the procedure and I am now like a new person. Thank you Dr Keilin!

I felt like I got the bum's rush. He didn't address any of the questions I raised with the resident.He seems like all he wants to do is schedule another colonoscopy to make more money. I left my Doctor at Northside because I thought it made sense to have all my doctors at Emory. I am questioning that decision as everyone seems overscheduled and too busy to care at Emory.

I didn't feel as if my concerns were heard and his demeanor was very unaccommodating. I felt as if he discredited my concerns and feelings by no addressing the concerns.

I noticed that the resident and doctor were discussing my case in the hallway. When the resident entered my room they were very informed about my case and had reviewed all previous results. This was very refreshing - I didn't have to start over explaining my case. The resident performed a physical exam and asked many questions to ascertain the state of my health. After the resident visited, Dr. K came in to answer my questions. Dr. K personally helped me get on the schedule for a colonoscopy. I greatly appreciate the care and concern shown by your staff.

I believe Dr Keilin is a skilled Dr and surgeon. However, he has never treated me as an individual when it comes to my care. I feel he is treating me with generalities and when I bring up my concerns about an exploratory surgery, I feel my concerns are dismissed and really never addressed. Dr Keilin is very condescending in his tone, which is also reflected within his note published in my visit summary.
