KELSEY PENDLETON

Dr. Kelsey Pendleton graduated from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN with a BA in Biology and Studio Art then from University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine with my MD. She attended St. Margaret’s Family Medicine Residency in Pittsburgh PA and is now board certified in Family Medicine with Obstetrics. I pursued further intensive training at the University of Kentucky’s Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship in Lexington, KY, working with athletes of all ages and capabilities, including now professional-level players as well as your typical weekend warrior. Having been an athlete from a young age including playing Div. III football at WLC, I can personally relate to the frustrations and challenges of overcoming sports-related injuries. I am motivated to work with every level of athlete, helping them perform at their best. I was happy to receive the Family Medicine Teacher of the Year Award in 2015 from the Medical College of Wisconsin, and continue to be listed yearly in Best Doctors, a national recognition organization for physicians. Having spent my career in big-system medicine, by the end of 2016, I realized that it was time for another career change. The Direct Primary Care model was spearheading a movement to help lead family medicine in a new direction. DPC offered me an opportunity to open a solo practice where I could directly reduce medical costs for individuals, families and small companies, simplify healthcare, and give patients my undivided attention and expertise in optimizing their health and well-being.
