He was very kind and cared about my son. He took his time and looked closely to make sure he was ok. 11 yr old boys don’t have the best manners and Dr. was patient and positive.

Dr. Kelleher is very knowledgeable and professional while also being kind and considerate of concerns I had about my biopsy and treatment. His medical support staff talked me through the procedure and recovery so I knew what to expect. While skin cancer diagnosis and treatment is no fun, Dr. Kelleher and his staff make it as calm and pain free as possible.

Dr. Kelleher was great. He explained the laser procedures I was having done and put me at ease. I look forward to seeing the results in a couple of weeks. I highly recommend Dr. KELLEHER and Premier Dermatology.

Every time my husband sees Dr. Kelleher I am amazed at he thoroughness of his examines. Especially, with finding the beginning stages of squamous, basal and melanoma cancers. He is an expert in every meaning of the word. Also, the kindness, and respect he and his staff are to my husband who has dementia is most remarkable. Dr. Kelleher includes my husband with the decision making of the procedures that need to be done are heart warming. The whole staff share the same ethical, respectful and caring attitude!
