Dr. Alyse Kelly-Jones believes in establishing a strong
relationship with her patients that allows the women she cares for to ask
questions and become active participants in their own healthcare. Dr.
Kelly-Jones began forming her medical philosophy as a student at the Medical
School of the University of Florida and further refined it during her residency
at the University of Florida Health Science Center in Jacksonville.
"I found during my training that the women who seemed
happiest were those who came to me with their own questions and concerns; who
actively sought out ways to work with me," she says. "I make sure my
patients take responsibility for their own health, which helps me provide the
best medical care available."
She also thinks that having three children with her husband,
Richard, has helped her prepare for a career as an OB/GYN specialist.
"Having my own three sons has helped me to better relate to my
patients," she says. "It's definitely made me a better doctor."
In addition to her OB/GYN focus, Dr. Kelly-Jones has a keen
interest in sexual medicine and co-founded a multidisciplinary clinic to treat
and educate men and women with sexual dysfunction. The clinic deals with issues
such as low libido, painful sex, male and female hormonal issues, and erectile
dysfunction. For more information, visit www.bestsexualadvice.com.
An avid bike racer and triathlon runner, Dr. Kelly-Jones has
turned her love of exercise into a mentoring project designed to help other
women change their lives by competing in triathlons. This year, her Tri It For Life organization (www.triitforlife.com), helped over 200
women take part in their very first triathlons.
When she is not working, Dr. Kelly-Jones enjoys making
scrapbooks, and watching Florida Gator football.
