    It's rare to find a doctor that will take their time to really listen to you and try to understand your issues. Dr. Kaelin will make you feel like your important to him and he really wants to get you going again. It is amazing how wide his knowledge is around any joint issues that I have had. Great place and great doctor!

    I’ve been seeing Dr Kaelin for many years and he is the only one that I have seen for any orthopedic problems , and I drive 140 miles to see him. I have had surgeries done by him and his whole office was very professional and genuinely do care for you. I have sent several of my family members to see him and they were all very satisfied.
