Breann M. Kelley, M.D.

Biography

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading and traveling. I also enjoy personal fitness, in particular distance running. I have completed dozens of half marathons, three full marathons and one ultramarathon. I have also enjoyed pacing half marathons as a volunteer pacer for Runner's Edge.

Care Philosophy

 I try to meet my patients where they are, and then we work together on their weight loss by developing goals that allow them to follow a healthier lifestyle. Luckily, weight loss does not require perfection. It just requires progress.

Area of Interest

As a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine and a board certified internist, I use my knowledge to treat obesity, overweight individuals and weight-related conditions through nonsurgical weight methods. This includes a combination of dietary changes, exercise, behavior modification and medications.
