Dr. Michael McKelvey, M.D., grew up in a small Appalachian river town in southeast Ohio. His parents, both teachers, helped instill in him strong small-town values: the importance of family, the value of education, and the dedication to care for one another. Medicine called to him early, driven by a desire to make a difference in people's lives alongside a deep passion for science and technology—a path he never strayed from.
After graduating high school as valedictorian, Dr. McKelvey attended Miami University for his undergraduate degree in microbiology, graduating Summa Cum Laude in 1998. That foundational knowledge in molecular biology, genetics, physiology, and the epidemiology of infectious diseases proved invaluable years later while navigating the COVID-19 pandemic.
He went on to attend medical school at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. Working alongside like-minded peers and brilliant educators while gaining first-hand experience across various specialties helped focus his sights on dermatology. He fell in love with the field's unique variety—where basic science and physiology meet microscopic histology, all while remaining deeply people-focused. For Dr. McKelvey, treating patients from newborns to the elderly and building strong doctor-patient relationships remains vital to providing optimum care. Additionally, the hands-on aspect of dermatology—from surgical excisions to laser therapies—continues to be one of the most challenging and rewarding parts of his practice.
After graduating medical school with Cum Laude honors and induction into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society in 2002, Dr. McKelvey completed a one-year general internship at Riverside Methodist Hospital. He then completed his dermatology residency at The Ohio State University Medical Center, earning board certification in Dermatology in 2006.
Northeast Dermatology has been his professional home ever since graduation, and he takes immense pride in the practice he has helped build and grow. He also spent 15 years at the VA Medical Center as an assistant clinical professor for OSU dermatology residents. His love for teaching continues, and it is not unusual to find him in the clinic hallways discussing cases with a resident or medical student.
Humbled by the trust his patients place in him, Dr. McKelvey remains deeply committed to the empathy required to maintain that trust. His lifelong passion is clinical medicine: making a real difference in his patients’ quality of life through preventative, medical, and surgical interventions. The cosmetic procedures he offers are time-tested and deliver predictable, worthwhile results. Patients can count on Dr. McKelvey and his team to provide cutting-edge, high-value care free of fads and hype.
Dr McKelvey listened to my concerns and had a few suggestions on how to clear up my problem areas. I was also late to my apt but he still saw me, which was much appreciated!!! I will def. see him again.
Dr Mike is always on his game. Totally trustworthy, and he’s been taking care of me for many years.
Friendly and efficient
Dr. McKelvey is very thorough and friendly. He is AWESOME!
This was the best dermatology experience and initial appointment I’ve had in 40 years. The staff was kind, efficient, and attentive. Doc was focused, attentive to the information I presented, confident without being arrogant, and honest. My exit to finish the appointment procedure for payment was seamless. I have not felt this kind of relief and hope for good dermatology management in years.
The doctor is one of the best and takes good care of me.
The doctor was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions concisely. Was treated courteously, and I felt like he was focused on dealing with my concerns top-notch.
On time, friendly, compassionate and efficient. Dr McKelvey always treats me like an old friend!
Very knowledgeable about skin issues. Obtained a prescription for my condition that works.
I met Dr. McKelvey for the first time today and I really liked him. He answered all my questions and he was really pleasant and I would be glad to refer him to anyone who might need him.
