Board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and a member of the American College of Physicians, Dr. Bradley Keel, has been practicing since 2012. He earned his medical degree from the College of Osteopathic Medicine at NSU Florida prior to completing his Internal Medicine residency from the University of Tennessee College of Medicine.

As a Chattanooga native, Dr. Keel began his medical career as a registered nurse after graduating from Chattanooga State. While working as an ICU nurse and on the IV Team at Erlanger Hospital, he completed his premed classes at UTC. Following medical school, Dr. Keel returned to Chattanooga to complete his residency and was involved in multiple committees to improve resident education and patient care, including the Patient Centered Care Committee and Code Committee. Additionally, Dr. Keel was elected as a National Committee Member to the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM)—a medical society comprised of hospitalists that exists to promote exceptional care for hospitalized patients; and also served as the House Staff Association Treasurer.

Since beginning his practice, Dr. Keel has been active with hospital committees focused on improving the quality of patient care, including the ER/Hospitalist Quality Committee, and the co-chair of the Sepsis Committee.

Dr. Keel and his wife Mandy grew up in Chattanooga; and, while they both left for graduate training, they were eager to return to the city they know and love. They have two beautiful children and spend much of their time off enjoying Chattanooga’s great outdoors. As an avid outdoorsman, and accomplished bowhunter, Dr. Keel loves hunting and fishing. He also enjoys surfing, hiking, and boating of any kind.
