About Dr. Kelsey Duncan:

 After being told at a young age that I’d likely struggle to get pregnant, with no support or guidance offered to me at the time, I made it my mission to offer better healthcare to women. 

I believe women deserve the information to make informed decisions, the support they need to be successful, and the confidence in knowing they are doing everything within their power to make a baby. 

Using my 3 pillar Fertility Success System we’ve helped bring hundreds of babies into the world using evidence-driven medicine and supporting you regardless of where you are in your fertility journey. 

When I’m not helping couples, you can find me spending time with my 2 kids, watching trashy reality tv when they go to bed, and spending time up north by the water.
