About
Dr. Kelly Boyatt grew up in Loma Linda, California, surrounded by a family legacy in medicine. Her mother practiced as a family physician, and her grandfather was among the first family physicians in Victorville. She earned her undergraduate degree at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, then went on to Loma Linda University School of Medicine. There, her core clinical philosophy took shape: evidence-based medicine grounded in a whole-person approach. She completed her residency in Family Medicine at Long Beach Memorial, caring for underserved communities while refining her clinical skills. She holds board certification in Family Medicine and earned her Menopause Society Certified Practitioner credential in 2026.
Dr. Boyatt brings over 25 years of family medicine experience to her practice. She has deep clinical interests in menopause and perimenopause care, women's health, chronic disease management, weight and metabolic health, mental health, and pediatrics. She offers evidence-based bioidentical hormone therapy, avoiding pellet protocols in favor of individualized, research-grounded treatment plans. At home, she and her husband, a teacher, raise four children. She is a lifelong animal lover whose household includes a dog named Roxy, a cockatiel named Chico, a snake named Slithers, and two guinea pigs, Pepper and Peaches. She has noted that caring for animals has sharpened her attentiveness and deepened her appreciation for the quiet ways trust builds between a caregiver and the people in their care.
