  • I am so glad I found Dr. Keeting! He is so personable and really seems like he cares about your situation. I have been to so many doctors that could care less about you. I also like the other doctor Merideth. The office is nice. I wish they hadn't switched out the comfy chairs for hard ones because sometimes it's a long wait to see the doctor! I guess everyone agrees that Dr. Keetimg is the best.
