    Dr. Kelly was great. She listened closely, asked helpful questions, and never made the appointment feel rushed. She took her time with my child and came across warm and kind the whole way through. We left feeling heard and cared for.

    I can not say enough good things about her, I would highly recommend her, not many in her field of pediatric neurology.
