About
Dr. Jane Klaes is a board-certified family medicine physician and DO practicing in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She grew up in Plymouth, Michigan, attended the University of Michigan for her undergraduate education, and earned her medical degree from MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2004. She completed a residency in Family Medicine, then moved to rural West Virginia to work at a federally funded clinic. There, she sharpened a broad clinical skill set because many patients chose not to travel to the city for specialty care. She also spent her West Virginia years hiking, kayaking, skiing, and biking through the region's hills and gorges.
After returning to Michigan, Dr. Klaes spent eight years at Integrated Health Associates, where she helped build a program to improve physician-patient communication and completed a leadership training program for medical providers. In August 2020, she opened her own DPC practice to focus entirely on individualized, whole-person care. She studies herbology at the Naturopathic School of Ann Arbor and works through Rosemary Gladstar's Science and Art of Herbalism course, offering herbal medicine guidance to interested patients. Her clinical passions include chronic disease management, preventive care, and integrating holistic approaches alongside modern medicine. Long before her medical career, she founded the Washtenaw County chapter of HERO in her 20s, a mentoring program for homeless adults that ran classes in goal-setting inside shelters and prisons.
