Testimonials

“

Best Doctor in the world. After breaking my knee as a top athlete, I placed all my trust in Dr. Keller and it was the greatest decision of my life. She is the brightest, kindest & most dexterous, professional I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. From pre-op to post-op, my profoundly immense admiration of Dr. Keller has willed me to write this review because she is unquestionably the best option for those in need of one.

Dr. Keller, Rebecca and staff are amazing. I fractured both of my hip sockets (acetabulum) in a mountain biking accident. My left hip required open reduction internal fixation surgery. She did such a great job that 3 days after the surgery I didn’t need any pain medication. I was on crutches for 3 (long) months. It’s been 4 months since the surgery and I feel great. I’m so glad I found Dr. Keller.

After seeing several doctors in both New Jersey and New York, Dr Keller was the only doctor to correctly diagnose me. She referred me to a spine surgeon and, after 15 months of severe pain, there is finally a plan in motion. Surgery will involve both the spine surgeon and Dr Keller. I have the utmost confidence in both doctors and I owe Dr Keller a debt of gratitude.

Dr. Keller combines remarkable surgical skills with caring, compassionate patient care. Her pre-surgical demeanor was professional yet personal. She demonstrated interest not just in the patient but in the person. For office follow-up visits, the staff was courteous, helpful and efficient. I would highly recommend her.

Amazing doctor and staff! I was in an accident and feel lucky to have gotten on her rotation at Hackensack UMC. Her staff was always friendly and caring. They were quick to return phone calls and help in any way they could. Dr. Keller did an amazing job fixing me up. She took her time explaining what was going on and answering any and all my questions. She took the worst experience of my life and made it easier. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an above and beyond doctor!!!!
