Alan Scott Kellermann

Dr. Scott Kellermann is a family physician, sub-specializing in tropical medicine and global health. In 1977, with his wife Carol and one-year-old son, he drove a VW camper from Germany to Nepal to work at Shanta Bhawan Hospital, Kathmandu, where their second son was born. In 1981, he and his family relocated to the U.S., where he practiced medicine for two decades in Nevada City, California. In 1986, he and two colleagues purchased an aging local hospital, converting it into an outpatient facility to assist with under-insured patients. 

In 2001, Dr. Kellermann transitioned from private practice to sub-Saharan Africa to work with the Batwa pygmies of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest of Uganda. Currently, Dr. Kellermann serves as medical director at Granite Wellness Centers, a California drug and alcohol rehab center that assists 1700 patients a day. His hobbies include fly fishing, mountain biking, telemark skiing, and sharing a cup of coffee.
