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.

After six years in this location Dr. Kelly outgrew this facility and moved his practice to Playa Del Rey, California which was approximately five miles away. After two years at this location Dr. Kelly purchased a second location in Inglewood, California. After several years Dr. Kelly decided that he wanted to practice in an environment that would allow him to practice his profession and sharpen his management skills. Dr. Kelly moved to North Carolina and accepted a job with a large dental management company. After being there for two years Dr. Kelly decided to go back to private practice.

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