Very personable, but efficient at the same time. Wait was short and I was in and out with a gameplan fairly quick.

I've seen Dr. Kelsch before. He diagnosed a condition (which was outside his specialty) four other doctors missed. He's thorough, a great diagnostician, and has a good bedside manner. I saw him for a second opinion today and trust his judgment.

So far very pleased. Doctor Kelsch took the time to listen and scheduled a procedure to hopefully alleviate the probem.

Dr. Kelsch is an amazing doctor! I myself am not the best with seeking medical care and have a tendency to be extremely anxious. Dr. Kelsch put me at complete ease. He checked absolutely everything that could have been causing my ear pain and gave me great suggestions to feel better!
October 19, 2015Lauren R.Verified patient
Quickly diagnosed the issue and solved what was going on then and there! He was so friendly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure.
October 20, 2015Noah S.Verified patient
Dr Kelsch is very pleasant. He goes over prior visits and tests, before the current exam. He dictates his notes while you are in the office, so you know what is in your file. I appreciate knowing this information.
September 25, 2015Kathleen W.Verified patient
Started out with 5 pages to fill out. They were written by amateurs & full of redundancies. Dr didn't look at them anyway. When he finally became available, he didn't address me by name & didn't listen well. I left with 2 pages of lab orders for another patient. I won't return to get the material I'm supposed to have. I went to him because He was the only ENT available on Monday morning. Driving & waiting took 7 hours of my time.
September 15, 2015Robert M.Verified patient
Very knowledgable and thorough. Asked about my allergy and sinus history, my symptoms, and the scope examination was gentle. He fully explained course of treatment, and the follow up plan.

Visit went very well. Dr. Kelsch is friendly and did a great job explaining my options and what I would experience both during and post-surgery. Having my tonsils out as an adult is not something I am looking forward to but, I am happy to have found a nice ENT to perform the surgery.

Excellent bedside manner. Because of my occupation anything wrong with my ears could potentially be career ending so I was very nervous but also in a lot of pain. He explained everything to me and didn't talk down to me at all, put me at ease right away. Will highly recommend to anyone who needs an ent.
