I have been a patient for 30+ years. Dr. Kellawan has always been exceptional in care, knowledge and professionalism. His medical staff as well have been pleasant and thorough. Front desk could use work. They seem bothered, or dismiss that you are standing there when a simple acknowledgement would go a long way. I am not sure why they do not put patients on a cancelation list and call when there is an opening. It may be an office policy they might consider changing. Thank you Dr. Kellawan for years of care!

Monday was my first experience with Dr. Kellawan, but not my first experience with dermatologists. I was very pleased! He was kind and encouraging while completing his exam and taking care of some issues. The staff were very friendly. I will definitely be returning!
