Dr. Keller is a gifted surgeon, my surgery went exactly as he said it would. I had excellent results from the surgery, I am no longer in pain, I was back to work grooming dogs 5 weeks after surgery. I have to limit reaching and lifting things above my head, but otherwise I am free to live life.  I was given a soft neck brace, but only had to use it if needed, so I did not have to wear a hard collar for 6 weeks like some people have to. He and his PA Michael are very personable and explain things well. I would have no issue recommending him to friends and family.
