Isabel L. Kelly, DDS

Dr kelly is by far hands down the best DDS ever! Super friendly, and more importantly so caring She made me feel like she loved me like a son. She cares more about the well being of her patients unlike all the other dentists who have just set everything up to get the most money out of me. I lost my job and my insurance and she still helped me put my crown back in even though I couldn’t afford it. No doctor ever has done anything like that for me before. I’ve been trying to save up some money to be able to pay her back for that work and for future work that I need to do and can’t wait to see her again to return the favor. I’ve been recommending her to everyone I know because everyone deserves her bedside manner. She can singlehandedly restore anyone’s doubts about dentists and their bad reps. Thx doc! I’ll see u soon!

Dr. Kelly looks all nice on the outside, but unfortunately in my case, has not displayed good dentistry skills and was unsympathetic when I had pain.
She did a crown restoration for me that was fitted poorly and left a large area of the dental pulp exposed. I’ve had extreme sensitivity to cold since then (2 months+). I’ll have to replace it but my new dentist wants to give it a few months, because he suspects the tooth will completely die. Even the color of the crown is a few shades off compared to the rest of my teeth, which does not bother me much but shows sloppiness.
Also my appointments with Dr. Kelly always lasted quite long. For crowns for example, she did the impressions several times, because she could not get them right. I once needed a second injection because the whole process took so long and that the anesthesia had worn out (during a 2 hr long appointment just to take impressions). My jaw hurt for days afterwards.
She also attempted to make another crown for me (to cover an implant), which did not even fit at all, so I had to start from scratch with a new dentist.
I am now in the middle of patient mediation process to get my money back that was charged for the incomplete work. I will update my review once it is final.

Really not professional. I was there for a new patient cleaning and she had another client come in w/​a dental issue. She left the X-​ray vest on me while she went and handled the other patient’s consult — which took more than a few minutes. She didn’t apologize for this delay, she just ran out and talked to the existing patient without explaining that she would be right back nor any apology for the interruption, etc. She also did not answer any of the questions I had. Would not recommend.

Beautiful office. Dr. Kelly is personable and she was very gentle with my mouth. However, in my case, she over-​dramatized 2 issues and even though she takes insurance I had to pay out of pocket for the special attention she gave to some teeth. She also tried to line me up for a lot more work and dental cleanings more than twice a year. I got 3 other consults/​opinions, one with a specialist rather than a general dentist, and all agreed the issues were mild at best, especially for someone my age. Also, I was told by others overall my mouth is in a great shape and there is no reason to have cleanings more than twice a year and of course I would have had to pay out of pocket for that.

Dr. Kelly is a relatively young dentist who has been practicing for several years. I just started seeing her, but so far experience has been good. She seems well qualifed, professional, and has a nice manner that puts one at ease (helpful because I normally hate going to the dentist). I also got the sense that she was honest because she hasn’t so far tried to suggest extensive extra work on my teeth, which it would be easy to suggest since I have a number of fillings and veneers that are starting to get old. She suggested one replacement filling, and was up front with me about the cost and necessity of the procedure, but doesn’t seem like she’s out to make money by doing too many procedures. I feel good about seeing her so far and expect to keep on going to her.

Ok… so my fork attacked me at dinner. No really, I couldn’t have been stupid enough to actually try to take a bite of my fork. Well, unfortunately, that’s exactly what I did. And, in so doing, I managed to take out a nice chunk of my front upper tooth. My now-​former-​dentist wasn’t able to see me the following morning. It was the Friday before the long Labor-​day weekend and she was out of town. I wasn’t willing to spend the next five days with a chunk of my front tooth missing, waiting until the following Tuesday before my old dentist could see me. It’d have been like driving around with your fender hanging off. Just something you don’t want to do.
My wife found Dr. Kelly, and we found our new dentist!!!
Dr. Kelly agreed to see me in an emergency and opened her office for just this reason. While my wife entertained Dr. Kelly’s daughter with her needlepoint, Dr. Kelly worked the magic that is the supreme form of the Art of Dentistry on my tooth.
Dr. Kelly FLAWLESSLY color-​matched, filled, sanded and polished a resin filling for my front tooth that left the previous night’s attack merely a bad memory.
In all seriousness, Dr. Kelly did an amazing job and, once complete, there was no sign of the filling to be discovered. Her work was, literally, flawless and she clearly takes pride in her work. Dr. Kelly also has an excellent, friendly and cheerful chair-​side manner. We won’t be seeing any other dentists from now on.

Dr. Kelly is amazing. My husband broke his front tooth, and she re-​arranged her schedule to fix it for him on the Friday of labor day weekend.
The repair is perfect. Looking at his smile, you would never know that anything had happened.
The awesome work and her bubbly personality have just gotten her two new patients. Yup. We’ve just ditched our dentist of 3 years for Dr. Kelly.

In general, the dental profession and I do not get along. I have everything going against me — I am a huge wimp, I am afraid I will bite the dentist when they come at me with that needle, I had terrifying dental experiences as a child… the list goes on and on and on. It also drives me crazy when the dentist is so pushy that I feel like I am at a used car lot and they are trying to push all of the extras on me.
So, imagine my complete relief when I discovered Dr. Kelly. She is no-​nonsense, calming, reasonable, tolerates me fears, doesn’t tell me that I need every procedure under the sun done immediately… I love her and I have taken both of my children to her, sent my husband to her and referred my neighbor (he liked her too).
Finally, I found a dentist and it only took me 40 years to do it. Did I mention that the office staff is a dream and that one of the women even held my hand when I got my last novacaine injection? Now that’s patient care!
