Testimonials:
“Dr. Keys is amazing... I say this as someone with albinism who is now 47 years old and was his patient from the age of 6 through grad school... I’ve been to a lot of great eye doctors, but there’s no one in the world like Dr. Keys. Much love from the Boston-area branch office of his fan club.”
“Dr. Keys is simple the best. He has been seeing my daughter since she was a baby... You are in the best hands with this “angel”.”
“My son, who is now 30, had surgery as an infant performed by Dr. Keys...he is still one of the best...and I credit him with helping my son have good vision... Dr. Keys bedside manner and true love for what he does was and is apparent in the care he gives his patients. I am a Clinical Educator traveling to Hospitals across the country...Doctors like Marshall Keys are a true blessing...”
“Dr Keys is great with my kids. We have been seeing him for years. He put my youngest in glasses at 1 years old.”
“He is an excellent doctor. I had an eye lazy when I was born. At the age of two he did the surgery and I’m 22 years old and have no problems with vison.”
“Dr. Keys is a well known pediatric ophthalmologist... very experienced and good with kids. We are lucky to find Dr. Keys to treat our daughter’s strabismus and to give her the necessary surgery on time. We trust Dr. Keys and will recommend Dr. Keys for anybody who is looking for a pediatric ophthalmologist.”
“Dr. Keys took care of me from 18 months to 18 years old. He is a gifted pediatric ophthalmologist and a wonderful human being. I cannot say enough good things about him”
“Dr. Keys was referred to us by an optometrist who couldn’t see my 2.5 year old daughter whom we feared had periorbital cellulitis... Dr. Keys took my call, my daughter’s history, and gave me a plan and peace of mind. He followed up... to ensure things were improving. As a Nurse Practitioner myself I was so impressed by his willingness to help without knowing us... it turned out several of our friends were his patients growing up and weren’t surprised at all!”
“Best eye doctor I have ever been to. Great with kids.”
