Company History
Medical Pioneer
A fifth-generation Texan, Dr. Kelsey returned from practicing medicine at the Mayo Clinic to start his own clinic in the budding Texas Medical Center. In 1949, he established Kelsey-Seybold Clinic, a premier medical group that today provides comprehensive medical care in a patient-centered environment. The Kelsey-Seybold model of care brings primary care physicians together with specialists and medical technology – all in one location – to deliver high-quality, coordinated care.
Dr. Kelsey’s impact on Houston reaches well beyond his medical practice. He was the first endocrinologist recruited by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, consulting as an expert on thyroid cancer cases. He also administered the first radioiodine dose to a Houston patient in 1949.
He was a revered Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at MD Anderson Cancer Center and Professor Emeritus at Baylor College of Medicine in the Texas Medical Center. Dr. Kelsey served two terms as acting Dean of the Post-Graduate School of Medicine of The University of Texas. In 1956, his brother, Dr. John Kelsey, joined him in founding the Kelsey Research Foundation.
