Name: Dr. Stephanie Kelly
Business: Berkley Chiropractic
What do you love most about Berkley?
I love that we have access to so many amenities that a bigger city may offer while also providing a small town feel. I really love how walkable it is, as I can not only walk to some of my favorite small businesses but can even walk from my home to work. Finally, it is a great place for my husband and I to raise our daughter.
What inspired you to start your business?
Chiropractic helped me, as a patient, in so many ways. Most importantly, it eliminated the migraines I had upwards of 5 times per week. This inspired me to become a chiropractor to help others the same way I was. Living in Berkley made opening my next practice in Berkley an obvious choice.
When you’re not working, what do you do that brings you joy?
I love spending time with my daughter, Josie, and husband, Dave. We love to travel and spend as much time outside as we can. I also love walking my fur baby, Lily, through our wonderful Berkley neighborhood.
What other Berkley business(es) would you like to give a shout out to and why?
I'd love to give a shout out to my favorite dentist, Dr. Sara Ruddy on Coolidge. I pride myself on getting to know my patients and making them feel comfortable. She does the same thing with her patients. My 2 year old daughter, Josie, felt at ease with her during her first visit to the dentist and I have referred my whole family, who also live in Berkley.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I think x-ray vision is an obvious choice. That would save me a step when needing to order x-rays on patients :)
Who are the most important people or pets in your life?
The most important people in my life are my husband and daughter. The close runners-up are all the family who live nearby and who we see frequently. We moved back to Michigan from Chicago to be near my family, and we are so lucky to have my parents, siblings, cousins, and nieces and nephews so close. In fact, I am so grateful to have my cousin working with me at my office every day.
