About Me

I’ve seen the healthcare journey from all sides. A a Physician, as a patient, and as family.

I’m Family, Just Like You

I’m a daughter, sister, parent, and friend who has been in your shoes—advocating for the people I love. I understand what it feels like to want answers, guidance, and someone to lean on.

I’m a Doctor Who Cares

With over 20 years of clinical experience in the ER, I’ve spent my career helping people through some of life’s most challenging moments. Now, I’m using that knowledge to support you in a whole new way.

I’m Here to Make a Difference

I believe healthcare doesn’t have to feel so overwhelming. Having a physician advocate in your corner can break down barriers, simplify the process, and help you get the care and understanding you deserve.

My Philosophy

My philosophy is simple: healthcare should focus not just on what’s the matter with you, but on what matters to you. The more you understand about your medical care, the better equipped you are to make decisions that align with your values and goals. I prioritize clear communication, thoughtful listening, and ensuring you always feel informed, supported, and in control.

More about Kelly

I am an Emergency Physician from Madison, WI. I completed my undergraduate degree at Washington University in St. Louis with a major in Biomedical Engineering. After graduating medical school from the University of Wisconsin Madison School of Medicine and Public Health, I completed residency in Greenville, North Carolina. I worked in Virginia for 11 years before moving back home to Wisconsin. I love living closer to family, but enjoy traveling and experiencing new cultures.

While working in Virginia, I co-founded a company that ran award winning programs aimed at improving care for our most vulnerable patient population. Surrounding these patients with the support and expertise they needed improved their lives and was incredibly rewarding. My passion lies in investigating to the root cause of a problem, sorting through data, and problem solving. This makes me an excellent Emergency Physician and a great advocate to have in your corner.

When I’m not advocating for clients or caring for patients in the ER, you can find me watching my kids in their activities, traveling, or experimenting with new plant based recipes.

My Mission

To bridge the gap between patients and the healthcare system by providing compassionate, physician-led advocacy that prioritizes understanding, guidance, and personalized support. We are dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate their healthcare journeys with confidence and peace of mind.
Beyond supporting my clients, I aim to inspire and encourage more physicians to step into advocacy roles, ensuring that everyone who wants or needs an advocate has access to one. Together, we can transform healthcare into a system where patients feel heard, supported, and valued.
