Kelly Haller, MD

Dr. Haller had planned to go into Family Medicine when she started medical school but found that she also enjoyed surgery and obstetrics. Becoming an OBGYN has allowed her the ability to combine office, surgery and obstetrics. She joined the two founding physicians at the newly formed Effingham Obstetrics & Gynecology Associates when she got out of Residency in 1994. She is now the sole remaining physician that started 29 years ago and says she has been fortunate to have three other female physicians, 3 physician assistants and a nurse practitioner join her. When Dr. Haller tells people that she has the greatest job ever, she really means it! She now provides care to three generations of some families, caring for grandmas, mothers, and daughters. One of the funniest stories was told by a father whose son was on a traveling baseball team. He says as he was preparing to provide the team roster with proof of age with the birth certificates for a tournament, all but one of the team member's birth certificates was signed by Dr. Haller as the delivering physician! Dr. Haller states, "Some of my days are long and some nights even longer, but I LOVE my job and can't imagine doing anything else!"
