It's fun to be there, at the moment, as families experience the joy of welcoming a new member to their family," stated Dr. Anderson.

Kelly also enjoys the later-in-life aspect of being an OB/GYN. "I want my patients to feel comfortable talking to me about any chronic, troublesome symptoms or potentially embarrassing topics," she exclaims. "I am passionate about educating my patients on healthy lifestyles and promoting positive, life-long healthy changes. It is important for my patients to know I am here for a lifetime of care - not just the babies."
