About
Alaskan born, Dr. Kelsey A. Walsh has lived all over the United States as the daughter of a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army. Her family ultimately settled near Charleston, South Carolina, where she attended college at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia and graduated with a BS in neuroscience in 2009. She enrolled in medical school at the Medical University of South Carolina, graduating in 2013. It was there that she met her husband, Forrest Duncan. The two married in 2013, shortly before moving to Mississippi to begin their residencies. Forrest completed his anesthesiology residency and pediatric fellowship at UMMC in 2019 and is currently an attending physician at Children’s of Mississippi. After a seven-year residency, Dr. Walsh completed her neurosurgery training at UMMC in 2020. She will be specializing in minimally invasive spinal surgery techniques, as well as general neurosurgery—including cranial and peripheral nerve surgery.
In her free time, Dr. Walsh enjoys reading, exercise, and painting. She and her husband love hiking and traveling the world whenever they find a chance. She is looking forward to joining NS2 to provide comprehensive and conservative spine care to Mississippians beginning in August 2020.
