About Me

Biography

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading and traveling. I also enjoy personal fitness, in particular distance running. I have completed dozens of half marathons, three full marathons and one ultramarathon. I have also enjoyed pacing half marathons as a volunteer pacer for Runner's Edge.

Care Philosophy

 I try to meet my patients where they are, and then we work together on their weight loss by developing goals that allow them to follow a healthier lifestyle. Luckily, weight loss does not require perfection. It just requires progress.
 

Area of Interest

As a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine and a board certified internist, I use my knowledge to treat obesity, overweight individuals and weight-related conditions through nonsurgical weight methods. This includes a combination of dietary changes, exercise, behavior modification and medications.

I LOVE Dr Breanne Kelley!! She is very thorough and caring. I appreciate all you have done for me!

Dr Kelley, really listens to you and takes action on how she can help.

03/13/2025

I just started seeing Dr. Kelley but I’m already impressed by the way she listens to my needs, debunks myths about weight loss, and provides multiple solutions. She also brought up weight loss issues I hadn’t even considered, like if I had sleep apnea or not. I didn’t know so she just ordered a sleep study right away. Overall, I am looking forward to seeing how far I can go on my journey with the help of her and her team.

Dr. Kelley has helped me to lose 38 lbs and counting. She is very kind and not condemning if you don't do EXACTLY as she says you should. She is consistent in what I need to do, however. I couldn't recommend her and the staff at N KC Hospital.

11/09/2023

I felt comfortable talking with Dr. Kelley. She explained the different options to me in detail and made me feel that I already had a support system. I look forward to working with Dr. Kelley and all of the friendly people in her office.

10/13/2023

Dr.Kelly and also the new Dr. In the practice (forgot her name) were both so informative and positive. On time, answered all my questions, And took plenty of time with me. Actually from check in, to the Lpn that took my vitals and the check out staff...I would rate a 5 star.

She assured help when needed. I left very encouraged!!

This is Cynthia Dunlap, not James. Dr. Kelley is an awesome doctor who truly cares about each patient. She takes all the time you need to listen and answer any questions you have. She explains things in a way you can understand. Her encouragement and compassion have helped me move forward in my weight loss journey. I highly recommend her.

08/31/2023

This is the first time i felt a doctor really understood my weightloss issues and didnt make it about eating less, more salad and exercise everyday. She explained things so well and we have a plan to start to see if we can tackle some bad habits and loss weight and made it seem it wasn't going to be a nightmare to try to do. Highly recommend.

08/30/2023

The doctor is very personable. She is concerned about any issues I have. Very informative about what I should be doing to achieve my goal in a healthy manner. I would absolutely recommend the TWLC and Dr. Kelley to anyone wanting to loose weight. I do have one concern though, when I first started this program the Dietitian told me to use any app. that would monitor my food intake but she recommended the Baritastic app. because if I gave permission then the TWLC could log in and see my progress. The Dr. informed me she could not log into the app and only the Dietitian could. That she knew very little concerning the app. I feel as though the doctors should be knowledgeable about the app especially if another professional in the office is recommending it.

08/15/2023

Dr. Kelley and the entire group are just amazing!

08/09/2023

Dr. Kelley is a great listener! She and her staff exude welcoming kindness. The information I obtained is no “magic bullet.” What she relayed is both factual and realistic. It was enlightening; she conveyed that there is a logical solution to my weight problem and that I must do the work and exercise care in my food choices.

07/27/2023

Dr. Kelly was professional, detailed and friendly. I had a lot of confidence in her even though I had just met her

Dr. Kelley took the time to discuss my history, goals and what I have tried. She did not make me feel rushed and seemed committed to my success. Clearly this is her passion.

06/28/2023

Absolutely loved Dr Kelley, I felt like she listened, she took the time and I never once felt like she was rushed me or once looked at her watch, and I can be a talker, or cut me off to get me through! Have recommended her already to several people! So thankful for being recommended to her!

03/07/2023

visited Dr. Kelley to seek help with weight loss as I have been at a dead end for a bit, without working out 6 days a week I have not been able to lose the stubborn weight and when I do it takes no time to gain in right back without countless hours in the gym.

03/06/2023

I had a great experience. Dr. Kelley answered several questions that I had and even answered a few before I ask them. I felt like we were in the same page and headed in the right direction.

02/13/2023

Always insightful and caring about my health. Glad to have this opportunity to improve my health.

02/10/2023

Highly recommend for your weight loss needs

02/10/2023

I think Dr. Breann Kelley did wonderful and spent the time to answer all of the questions. She was kind and polite and very knowledgeable. Enjoyed talking with her about my treatment and health care track. So far as a doctor I would give her 5 stars and tell anyone looking to consider her as their doctor. The nurses and support staff all did a great job. Zero complaints. My issue is with the clinic and NKCH itself. I don't understand why this continues to happen within different clinics in the NKCH group but it took approximately 7-8 months to get an appnt. Then my follow up appoint is in 6 months because that is the soonest you can get a follow up appnt. If you do the math that means I only see or talk with my doctor in person 1-2 times a year. Anyone in health care should know the grade for this institute is F for fail. That goes for All NKCH associated clinics. The policy and procedure in place doesn't seem to advocate for good patient health care. I don't know the inner workings of running a clinic or hospital but my personal opinion is the administrators of the NKCH associated groups are currently putting value the wrong things. Hopefully it improves because this is the hospital and clinics I have been using for 30 plus years.

01/26/2023

Dr. Kelley is an incredible doctor. She is also extremely personable with great bedside manor. I feel so comfortable being her patient.

01/19/2023

Love Dr. Kelley! She listens and makes sure I feel comfortable with any treatment plans.

01/13/2023

Dr. Kelley has managed to assist me in getting my weight down to the smallest I have ever been in my life. She truly listens and has never been judgmental and having struggled with my weight since 4th grade, I am beyond ecstatic to be a "normal" sized human now. Thank you so much Dr. Kelley!

01/12/2023

I had a great experience meeting with Dr. Kelley. She took her time and explained things to me in a way that was easy to understand and she was encouraging about my journey. I’m excited to continue working with her and her team.
