Professional Summary:

After graduating from Howard University in 1983, Dr. Kelly accepted a position working with one of his former

professors and also worked at the University as an Academic Reinforcement Instructor. Dr. Kelly realized that this

was not the career path that he wished to follow so he moved back to Los Angeles, California to establish his

practice. While waiting to pass the board examination D r . Kelly worked at Southern Cal i fornia Edison Company

as a Medical Analyst. This allowed Dr. Kelly to negotiate health care contracts and it also gave Dr. Kelly the

opportunity to conduct health care seminars for the employees of the company.

Shortly after becoming Board Certified, Dr. Kelly joined a group practice, which allowed him to gain invaluable experience

in the various dental disciplines. Dr. Kelly eventually opened his own practice, which proved to be a great move, and

eventually opened a second satellite practice in Playa Del Rey, California, which is one of Southern California’s more

affluent neighborhoods. This practice immediately excelled and became the primary practice until he moved to North

Carolina. The move to North Carolina was spawned by an offer that would allow him and his family to live in a

more peaceful, and intimate environment. It also afforded him the opportunity to move into the type of Dentistry he had

long envisioned, Oral Implantology, continuing Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. Due to Dr. Kelly’s love for the science of

dentistry, this seemed the ultimate road to travel.

Since arriving in North Carolina Dr. Kelly has served as a Deputy Examiner for the North Carolina Sate Board of

Dental Examiners. Also Dr. Kelly donates several hours of his time to free dental clinics in the Piedmont Triad Area.
