Following dental school, Dr. Kellye set out to be the most well-rounded dentist through the completion of a General Practice Residency at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton Ohio. Here she worked in both the hospital and practiced in Five Rivers Dental Center, a federally qualified health center, where she managed patients of many needs, ages and health statuses. However, her real passion was orthodontics. The following year she returned to the University of Kentucky to begin her three year journey through an orthodontic residency. After residency, she and her new husband made their way to Houston to start their lives together. Dr. Kellye loves meeting new patients and learning about their lives during the time she shares with them. “The ability to make patients smile and love their smile, is the most heartwarming gift.”

Having a healthy smile and mouth, shapes the way we can experience the world around us and Dr. Kellye wants to help everyone have the best experiences this world has to offer!
