We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Dr. Kelsey Knight MD a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Dr. Kelsey, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you share an important lesson you learned in a prior job that’s helped you in your career afterwards?
The most important lesson I have learned so far is that it’s up to you to make your dreams a reality. As long as you stay focused and work hard, you can be successful. There will be obstacles in your path but you need to keep moving forward. It is important to know that not everything will go as planned and that there will be people who will try to hold you back. If you recognize this early on, it’s much easier to stay focused!
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I’m originally from NYC and moved to TX right before the pandemic. Prior to that, I was working as a busy Board-Certified Internal Medicine Hospitalist at a Neuroinstitute. My sister, Dr. Summer Rose MD, who was already settled in TX at the time, recommended I come visit for a weekend. I instantly fell in love with Houston and made the decision that weekend to move here. I started working in a clinic and found my passion helping others achieve wellness. I was inspired to work hard and open up my own practice. I was able to successfully obtain my certification in Obesity Medicine making me a Double-Board Certified physician. I enjoy educating my patients and watching them achieve their goals. It is the best feeling!
If you could go back in time, do you think you would have chosen a different profession or specialty?
Absolutely. Medicine is rewarding in a way that is unlike any other field. Watching patients become healthier and leaving a lasting, positive impact on their lives is so fulfilling.
Do you have any insights you can share related to maintaining high team morale?
I think the best piece of advice is to treat others the way you would like to be treated. It is important to always remember this.
