Dr. Kelly is an GREAT surgeon and just plain \"nice guy.\" Very personable and willing to take as much time as necessary to answer all and any questions. I had an overall EXCEPTIONAL experience at UMASS memorial...very attentive staff all around. I give Dr. Kelly 5 STARS out of 5.
I LOVE DR KELLY!!! No complaints at all. He explained everything to me in detail and things happened just as he said they would. Surgery went very smoothly and 5 days later I am feeling great. He even took time out to sit with my husband and daughter after my surgery to go over things and answer all thier questions. I am very happy I chose Dr Kelly to perform my surgery.
My first impression of Dr. John J. Kelly was that he is a very kind, compassionate, caring human being. He takes whatever time is needed with the patient to answer all questions that arise. He encourages patients to attend the monthly support group. He's a very dedicated man who really cares about the well being of his patients. He is an outstanding surgeon who wants his patients to be well informed before making this drastic decision to have surgery. His office coordinates an excellent aftercare program with the professsionals on the team, including himself. He actually takes the time out of his schedule to be at every support group meeting.rn7/3/00 Well, I'm finally \"on the other side\". I had an excellent experience with Dr. Kelly in the hospital. A few times he was very \"tough\" on me, but it was indicated at the time. Even though he could be tough on me, he was at the same time very supportive, caring and compassionate, always looking out for my best interest. He really is a gift to those of us living in central Massachusetts. I'd rate Dr. Kelly with 5 stars.
When I meet with Dr. Kelly I was very pleased with his openess. My husand and I felt very comfortable with the way he handled all our questions and we did not feel rushed. His staff has been helpful with my our needs with insurance and any other issues that have come up in with my process.
Dr. Kelly was very low key but very willing to spend as much time as I needed to help me make my decision regarding lap-band or bypass. I had gone through the entire program and had \"graduated\" to the stage where I qualified to see a surgeon. He and his nurse practioner helped me decide what was best for me. My surgery went well and his bedside manor was fine. I picked him because he was the head of the department at UMASS and had an excellent track record. You will wait longer to have the surgery because he is in demand. He is both technically competent and a good guy, what we all want in our surgeons.rnrnIf I have anything negative it would be the wait. The program took me 15 months to go through and that was in part because they lost my chart and the other because I needed to wait a few months for Dr. Kelly.rnrn

Dr. Kelly spent as much time with me as I needed. He was very honest and answered all my questions thoroughly. There is a very excellent Surgical Nurse Practitioner who also works on the team - she is great too.
I met with dr Kelly In Sept 2003.He seamed like a kind man and some one who really cares about you and what you are saying, so with everything i've heard about him I put my life in his skillfull hands.
