Resident Profile: Gabrielle Kelly, MD

Gabrielle Kelly, MD, a native Oregonian, grew up in Damascus, Oregon, a community of approximately 10,600 people. She completed her medical education training at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland in 2019. She then completed a one-year general surgery residency training program at Riverside University Health System in 2020.

Dr. Kelly has known that she wanted to be a doctor from a very young age. She was born with a condition that required neurosurgery when she was only 5 months old. Learning about the anatomy, physiology and her own experience was the catalyst that sparked her interest in medicine.

Dr. Kelly brings to the team a wealth of knowledge and unique patient-focused perspective born of her own health history. She is excited to be part of the first residency class and confident her surgical experience will allow her to contribute to creating a truly broad-spectrum family medicine experience.

Outside of clinic, Dr. Kelly enjoys distance running, baking sourdough bread, and camping and backpacking with her boyfriend and dog. She is excited to be back in Oregon and exploring the North Umpqua Trail, local breweries and starting a garden.
