About Me
As a hepatologist at Ohio State, I treat patients with abnormal liver tests, hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver and other liver diseases. I am honored to be part of this interesting field and help patients through a potentially stressful part of their lives. I strive to provide very thorough and attentive care with a focus on every patient's individual goals. Establishing a friendly, trusting relationship with my patients is extremely important.
My favorite part about working here at Ohio State is interacting with so many different people. I enjoy helping people to understand their condition and achieve better health.
When I’m not working, I like to spend time with my wife, family and friends. I enjoy running, cross country skiing, music and watching sports of all kinds.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 11/01/2020, Dr. Kelly has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
Dr Kelly has gone above and beyond. he encouraged me to send any questions, which I did via the My Health app, he has responded to each thoroughly and expediently !!He is also very understanding that, to the newbie (me), this is stressful and puts test results in perspective.
He went over everything with me. We discussed all of my past history, as this was my first visit. He explained the treatment he recommended. He ordered lab work.
Nothing bad.
All very good.
Dr. Kelly is extremely competent and had a great bedside manner. I also recommended him to my family doctor to send other patients to Dr. Kelly who may need his service & expertise. I highly recommend him!
Best doctor ever, always listens & if he doesn't know about something he will try to get answer.
He listen to me, he's very good Dr. Sean Kelly.
He always gives me the best information that I need. He is the best doctor I've ever had.
Dr. Kelly listened, and agreed to see me every six months as my previous provider, Dr. Levin had done for many years.
We must give a shout out to Dr. Kelly. I am 60 & my wife is 68 and at no time in our lives have we dealt with a doctor as compassionate, understanding and willing to work with us. The world needs more doctors like him!
