Thomas A.. Kelly, MD, FACC

Dr. Kelly has a special interest in acute coronary syndrome and acute myocardial infarction angioplasty/intervention research.  He is highly regarded in the community as an expert in aggressive lipid and cardiovascular risk reduction management, as well as hypertension and congestive heart failure treatment strategies. In addition, he has an expertise in sleep medicine and the adverse effects of sleep apnea as it relates to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. 

When not working, Dr. Kelly enjoys sports of all types, as well as spending time with his wife and three children.

I am accepting new patients.
