John D Kelly IV, MD
Philadelphia, PA

I am from Wilmington Delaware and am the son of a comedian and secretary. I played football for Columbia University and majored in English. I went to medical school at the University of Cincinnati and did my ortho training at U. of Penn. I enjoyed a specialty year in sports medicine at Temple and have practiced there ever since. I love to write and speak in public. I am in Academic Medicine and give frequent lectures. I am a stand up comedian and have performed in small shows, and clubs in both Phila. and the Jersey shore. I have a passion for teaching and the dissemination of information in a truthful, yet entertaining format.
