Kelley Fairchild
Kelley Fairchild DO
womens health
Madison

As a fully Board Certified OB/GYN with a background that includes osteopathic training, I take an integrative approach to 
patient care- I believe that healing comes from caring for the 
whole person, not just their conditions. I appreciate that 
reproductive and gynecologic health is deeply personal and is 
oftentimes influenced by physical, emotional, and social factors. 
My goal is to take these into consideration to provide 
compassionate, inclusive, and evidence-based care that 
respects each patient’s individual values and experiences. I 
emphasize preventive care, patient autonomy, and the body’s 
natural ability to heal. I strive to listen carefully, support shared 
decision-making, and build trusting relationships at every 
stage—from adolescence to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause 
and beyond.
