About

Dr. Steven Keilin grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and attended medical school at The University of Cincinnati. His interest in gastroenterology developed as a resident at Atlanta Medical Center.

I have seen Dr. Keilin for over 16 years for colonoscopies and endoscopies. He is an excellent doctor/surgeon and has closely tracked my colon and esophageal health over the years.

Dr. Keilin was great and I left the Emory campus with a greater sense of peace, calm, hope, and confidence for all I'm about to undergo to save my esophagus. Thank you for providing this inner calm confidence in the doctors, and positivity in me.

Been seeing Dr Keilin for over 11 years and is the only doctor to successfully find what was wrong with me and the only one to fix my situation to 100%. I never thought back when I got sick, that it was ever possible to fell this well again.

I have never met a doctor who cared less for me as a patient than Dr. Keilin. He is extremely dismissive of any questions and did not listen to my explanation of my symptoms. Do not recommend.

I was very late for my appointment we called and let the doctor know when I got there everyone from the check in staff to the assistant and especially Dr Keilin was very very good to me as always I'm very thankful to them

Dr Keilin isn't very personable and very matter of fact, I sometimes think his delivery of the information is providing his patients should be done with a little bit more care and understanding. While I know he's been highly recommended for the procedure that I need. I'm very grateful to have him as my doctor But just would appreciate a softer bedside manner.

Dr Keilin was was great he took the time to look at all of my previous history and scans. He then contacted me about his opinion of the next steps we should take to make the right diagnosis. He recommended a ERCP . I am five days out from the procedure and I am now like a new person. Thank you Dr Keilin!

I felt like I got the bum's rush. He didn't address any of the questions I raised with the resident.He seems like all he wants to do is schedule another colonoscopy to make more money. I left my Doctor at Northside because I thought it made sense to have all my doctors at Emory. I am questioning that decision as everyone seems overscheduled and too busy to care at Emory.

Dr. Keilin provided a clear and thorough explanation of my symptom, of its likelihood of indicating cancer, and of the recommended monitoring routine. I appreciated his clarity.
