Kelly Christine Stets, MD

My childhood years were spent just outside of Buffalo, New York, where I learned a love of anatomy and movement through ballet dancing. University was at Duke in Durham, North Carolina, where I had my... first observation of hip replacement surgery. I was very impressed by how well the patients did. Next, I attended medical school back home at State University of New York at Buffalo. From there, I did the orthopedic surgery residency at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, followed by the hip and knee replacement fellowship at Lenox Hill Hospital under the directorship of Dr. Jose Rodriguez. This was an excellent experience to learn multiple approaches to the hip, as well as more complex hip and knee revision surgery. My family and I thought we would remain in the New York City region, but as time went on, we had our eye on the West Coast. After 7 years of practice in the New York City region, we were very happy to have an opportunity to relocate to beautiful Orange County. I am thankful to be in a medical practice that really cares about the overall wellness of members and having a healthy lifestyle. Show more
