    I saw Dr. Mcinnis for a consult for PRP and I found her to be very helpful and thorough. I did make a follow-up appointment for the procedure in a few weeks and I'm hopeful for my recovery. Thank you so much for your time and helping me understand the risks, the benefits, potential side effects, recovery, and prognosis. I appreciate it.

    I had seen Dr. Mcinnis about seven years ago, maybe, and maybe even longer, and she had helped me avoid a hip surgery, and I'm still skiing moguls, so super delighted with the outcome from my prior visit, and was excited that I could get in to see her for an issue I'm having now with my knee, and had a very good visit with her, and I'm embarking on rehab, and hopefully it goes as well as the first time.

    I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kelly McInnis. In a world where great doctors are hard to find, she truly sets the standard. She listens closely, explains thoroughly, and approaches care with both expertise and genuine compassion. What makes a doctor "good" - knowledge, professionalism, empathy, attentiveness - she does it all, and she does it exceptionally well. I left every appointment feeling confident, heard, and in the best hands possible. Dr. McInnis is not just impressive - she's the kind of doctor everyone hopes to find.

    Dr.Mcinnis was very clear with her responses to my questions regarding my knee injury and possible treatment options. . She graciously explained the extent of my injuries and what the pain levels should be on a daily basis before I decide to choose surgery. We also discussed the pros and cons of waiting several years vs the benefits of not putting it off for too long a period of time. I feel she helped me decide which orthopedic problem should take priority over the others. I'm very appreciative of the time she gave me during her demanding schedule. I will visit Dr. Mcinnis in the fall for a knee aspiration. Aspiration.
