Testimonials

Dr. Kilcoyne initially performed surgery on my right shoulder at Walter Reed while I was on active duty. I suffered from osteoarthritis, and as I got older, the pain was just too unbearable just to perform routine tasks. I love to swim, and when I retired from the military, I wanted to continue swimming on a regular basis. Unfortunately, I developed crepitus and pain on my left shoulder, so I decided to look up Dr. Kilcoyne who was no longer at Walter Reed. He performed the same same surgery on my left shoulder (Reverse arthroscopic surgery). Now I swim freely without any pain. My Therapist commented that the surgeon did an excellent job!

Dr.Kilcoyne did an amazing job with my labrum repair. He explained everything for my surgery very well and I wasn’t worried at all. The surgery went very well, and my recovery was great. I’m a big rock climber and I’ve already started climbing just as hard as I was before my injury after only 6 months. Thank you Dr.Kilcoyne for the perfect job you did.

Dr. Kilcoyne performed my Total Shoulder Replacement. He did an amazing job. His method was exactly what I was looking for - anatomic replacement, stemless, with an osteotomy to gain access to the joint. Even the tenodesis was absolutely the right answer for me. My recovery was much faster than expected and my pain level was pretty much non-existent. I could not recommend him more highly and plan on him replacing my other shoulder when it is time!

Excellent. Very knowledgeable Great bedside manner. Recovered in 6 weeks instead of 12.

My 11 year old son was referred to Dr. Kilcoyne for shoulder & elbow soreness (little league shoulder) from pitching. Dr. Kilcoyne was very knowledgeable, professional and great at answering any questions we had. He was able to help my son without needing surgery. Dr. Kilcoyne was able to give my son tips for stretching his arm prior to pitching and aftercare instructions once he had pitched. Dr. Kilcoyne also referred my son to a wonderful PT that worked with him for 8-weeks on getting his shoulder, elbow & arm back to the proper range of motion and proper throwing mechanics after months of arm rest. Thanks to Dr. Kilcoyne and the PT my son just started back pitching and is pain free! We truly appreciate everything Dr. Kilcoyne was able to do for my son and highly recommend him! If my son has any trouble in the future we will definitely return to Dr. Kilcoyne.

Dr. Kilcoyne with Annapolis Hand and Shoulder Center, was referred to me when I needed help with my shoulder. I was willing to do surgery only as a last resort and PRP treatment was an available option for me. If you are not familiar with this procedure, I recommend researching Platelet-rich Plasma. Dr Kilcoyne has an abundant experience injecting PRP and I am extremely pleased with the outcome! He knows what he is doing!My more recent wrist injury required surgery, but my complete faith in Dr Kilcoyne served me well. I am on my way to a complete recovery and grateful that we have such a talented and caring doctor here in Annapolis!

Dr Kilcoyne is friendly, professional, proficient & energetic. He performed surgery on my right wrist. Entire staff are impressive, welcoming & knowledgeable. Broke left wrist 2018 & now right wrist in 2025. Surgery required on both. As well as family members also treated at Annapolis Hand Center. Very pleased. Thank you!

I had a nasty fall down the stairs of my house, where I injured my shoulder. The pain was debilitating to the point where I was unable to use my arm.Dr. Kilcoyne surgically repaired my damaged rotator cuff and re-attached a torn bicep tendon in December 2025. After 3 months of physical therapy and twice daily shoulder exercises, my shoulder is back to normal. I have full use with no pain.

Dr. Kilcoyn is a talented surgeon and physician. In 2024 I broke my right wrist and dislocated a bone. Dr. K fixed the problem without surgery. A few months later, I broke my left wrist! This one required surgery, and he very quickly fit me into his surgery schedule. I experienced a rapid recovery. All done and back to normal. I highly recommend Dr. K and the crew. They provide excellent and compassionate care.

I am writing to highly recommend Dr. Kelly Kilcoyne who performed my shoulder surgery for rotator cuff repair. He uses a product called Regeneton, a biological product , for the repair. I specifically looked for a surgeon who used this product because of its properties of healing the tissue and the much reduced time I needed to be in a sling. I was also virtually pain free post surgery. Additionally the physical therapist is amazed at how much range of motion I have attained only one month post op.
