Ms Summers actually found something that my ENT missed
Kelly Summers is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and through. She is an asset to Emory Healthcare.
Persistent and dedicated at getting thorough accurate results!
We have seen Ms. Summers over several yrs always felt she was very professional.
The reason for the visit was to go over the results of my CT scan in person, she never went over the results
Good
Oh my goodness, Kelly is the best! The issue this time was a tooth that had broken off. My dentist was going to send me to his oral surgeon for the extraction. Kelly insisted on my seeing the oral surgeon at Emory, because he is experienced with irradiated bone. It made sense.
I enjoyed the one and only telephone conversation that I had with the surgeon, but I never met him face-to-face, which was a little unsettling. Everyone else that I met (the Fellow who met me preoperatively and who assisted during the surgery and the anesthesiologist that met me preoperatively) were absolutely fantastic.
All excellent
Kelly is an Excellent Physicians Assistant. She listens well, Is patient and is very empathetic. She is friendly, Knowledgeable and gives very clear and concise advice. Kelly is an asset to Emory Healthcare.
Great professional and great care and communication.
Kelly is one of the best healthcare providers I've ever had! She is top notch and a tremendous patient advocate!
I'm extremely fortunate to have Kelly as part of my care team. For the past 3 and a half years she has consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism, thorough knowledge, and extraordinary compassion during my treatment and follow-ups.
Mrs. Kelly was very thorough while also being kind and compassionate. I know that I am a difficult patient. Surgery was recommended years ago which I declined in order to keep working. Now I need help. Even though I know that must be aggravating I was not made to feel bad. Mrs. Kelly was compassionate and ready to get the ball rolling to help me as quickly and thoroughly as possible. I am grateful.
As usual, Kelly, Sommer's is a great provider. She deserves five stars in every category.
Kelly was awesome! She is a very knowledgeable and professional. PA. Answered all my questions, reviewed my recent CT scan in detail, pointed out findings on the display. Did a thorough physical exam of mouth, throat, glands. If I didn't see her title, I would think she was the ENT Doctor! If I have any more follow up visits I will definitely be asking for Kelly. She was not in a rush , very easy to talk to , and I left feeling confident that all my concerns had been addressed.
100 across the board
Kelley Summers was grwat. Answered all my questions and even scheduled my next appointment
She was professional helpful and friendly
Good experience
Ms. Summers does a good job at scoping my throat (painless).
A stepped plan of action was detailed during my initial discussion. This provided me and my wife (who was with me at this appointment) a sense of "these people know what they are doing..." one of the many benefits of going to a health care provider who is a specialist and not a generalists.
I give a fair rating because Ms. Summers didn't have an opportunity to speak about risks and future options. I was not there on a routine visit and while there developed an intense post op bleed from the mouth and my glossectomy site. The questions above aren't really relevant and do not reflect the situation Ms. Summers was in.
Kelly is very thorough, shows concern and gives great care.
Kelly Summers is a very professional and caring doctor. She is competent, knowledgably, and empathetic with her patient's concerns. She listens well and is clear in her advice and counsel. She is an asset to Emory Hospital.

Excellent care
PA was very informative and carying. She is going to the extra mile to make sure I am well taken care of and elimating any cause for concern by doing all the exams needed.
Very professional. Excellent explanations. Friendly interactions. Good listener.
Kelley was wonderful!!! But I don't recommend anyone or anything to others.
Ms. Summers is outstanding.
Kelly was very thorough
When describing what she saw on my scope she showed me all the photos and also pulled up anatomy to give me a better description so that I fully understood what she was telling me what's wrong which I thought was extremely kind and helpful instead of saying things I definitely wouldn't understand.
My provider had to remind me that I wasn't the worse case she has seen. Sadly, there have been many worse off, and I appreciated that gentle reminder.
Very good
Kelly Summers is caring, through, professional and well informed. She is an asset to Emory Hospital.
When you get the BEST, everything is VERY GOOD!!!!!

These would all be 10's if that were a choice. Kelly's demeanor, and empathy make her perfect for this job working with scared cancer patients. Well, with me anyway. And her knowledge of my cancer gives me confidence in what she tells me. Don't ever lose her!

Kelly is the best
Kelly is fantastic, and the person with her was great. My case was 9 years ago. You all help a huge number of patients, but Kelly conveys she cares a lot. She remembers all the details about my case. Makes me feel good.

As Mentioned on a prior page, Dr. Kelly Summers was wonderful. We worked with Dr. Shin in previous years, so she had a high bar to meet. Well, she exceeded any expectations in every way that she communicated, evaluated, and planned next steps.
