John Kelley on True Grit

Imagine being newly married, strapped with school debt, just having moved to a new town where you know less than five people.

This week’s guest on the True Grit podcast is Dr. John Kelley, owner and founder of Kelley Orthodontics. Dr. Kelley attended Baylor University and received his Doctorate in Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston. He and his wife Allision moved to Fort Worth in 1999 and founded Live Thankfully which is a not-for-profit that’s had a huge impact on our local community.
