In order to be honest I have to say that dr Kelley,md clearly was not knowledgeable of the procedure called an “IVRO” which he performed on me on may 23, 2017. I had done extensive research into the vertical cut of the jaw bone which will allow the jaw to go back into its original alignment. Dr Kelley assured me with great confidence that this procedure was one that he could successfully perform. During the surgery he cut an artery which bled into my lungs resulting in pneumonia. The pneumonia prevented Dr Kelley from adequately wiring closed my mouth. Therefore the procedure was a complete and dangerous failure. After having a CT 3D image from the San Antonio dental school two months later of the actual sawing direction , it was very clear that Dr Kelley’s cut of my jaw bone was not vertical as it should have been . Therefore I have half the ability to open my mouth and twice the daily unbearable pain. I have had three oral maxillofacial surgeons who have told me to have the procedure redone correctly...since dr Kelley works in a teaching hospital , he is not liable for any mistakes and may have student who have little knowledge of the procedure. I would not recommend him for any surgical procedure. He probably needs to stay in pediatrics . I can hardly eat food
