Patient Reviews
May 05, 2024
Dr. Keem performed 2 surgeries on my very complicated back. His skills as a surgeon gave me mobility and lessened my pain issues. He's a kind man, a good listener and allowed me time to make my decisions. I especially like how he communicates. He treated me with respect and explained what was going on in my x-rays and MRIs. I feel very lucky to have found him to take care of life-long back problems. I highly recommend him.
