Dr. Laura Kelsey, MD

Vascular Surgeon
4085 Burton St SE, Ste 101, Grand Rapids, MI
Dr. Kelsey is passionate about education and has presented at international meetings on the subject of blood coagulation, deep venous thrombosis, prophylaxis, and the treatment of other venous disease. Dr. Kelsey is a member of the American College of Physicians, and serves as president of the alumni board of the M.S.U. College of Human Medicine. Having spent most of her life in Michigan and active in the Grand Rapids community, Dr. Kelsey is a member of the American Vein and Lymphatic Society, the American Venous Forum, the American Medical Association, Michigan State Medical Society and the Kent County Medical Society. “My interest in venous disease started in my second year of medical school. Between our second year and third year of medical school we had an eight-week break. My mentor Dr. Hassouna suggested that I use that time to go to Hawaii and work with venous experts Bo Ecklof, MD and Robert Kisner, MD. That was really my orientation into venous disease. The years that followed, I studied thrombophilias at St. George’s Hospital in London and presented at the Penner International Coagulation Conference in Sophia, Bulgaria on Factor V Leiden, and Protein C and S deficiencies.” “My interest continued into General Surgery Residency when I focused on DVT prevention in trauma patients and authored a paper in Journal of Hematology. When I completed my residency training, I worked as a general surgeon at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Grand Rapids for two years, and then left general surgery entirely to focus my career on venous disease. I have been at the Grand Rapids Vein Clinic – now Center for Vein Restoration — since that time.” Dr. Kelsey describes her personal work in the field of venous insufficiency and areas where she has a particular focus: “Although I enjoy all facets of my practice, my special interest outside the treatment of superficial venous disease continues to be the prevention of venous thromboembolic events.
