Following a 1967 fellowship in [[Philadelphia]], [[William A. Nolen|Dr. William A.

Nolen's analysis of Kulhman came in for criticism from believers. Lawrence Althouse, a physician, said that Nolen had attended only one of  Kuhlman's services and did not follow up with all of those who said they had been healed there.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Rediscovering the Gift of Healing.

Keener|Craig Keener]] concluded, "No one claims that everyone was healed, but it is also difficult to dispute that significant recoveries occurred, apparently in conjunction with prayer. One may associate these with Kathryn Kuhlman's faith or that of the supplicants, or, as in some of Kuhlman's teaching, to no one's faith at all; but the evidence suggests that some people were healed, even in extraordinary ways.".<ref>{{Cite book|title = Miracles: The Credibility of the New Testament Accounts|last = Keener|first = Craig|year = 2011|pages = 614 (ebook format)}}</ref>

Dr. Richard Owellen, a member of the cancer‐research department of the [[Johns Hopkins Hospital]] who appeared frequently at Kuhlman's services, testified to various healings that he said he had investigated.<ref>Kathryn Kuhlman, Evangelist And Faith Healer, Dies in Tulsa, ''New York Times'', Feb. 22, 1976.</ref>
