Dr. Ron Keller, M.D.

Is it possible for a man born in a town called Deadwood to always have a bright smile on his face?  If it's Ron Keller, APGs most experienced pediatrician, the answer is yes!

It's been trendy to move to Alaska since the pipeline boom of 1975.  But the folks who really deserve our respect are those who kept Alaska moving before the oil was flowing.  Practicing in Anchorage since 1973, Dr. Keller is a happy person with a calm demeanor who enjoys seeing his former patients bringing their own children to APG.

Raised in South Dakota and Montana, Dr. Keller's experience as a ranch hand and surveyor helped forge the work ethic that allowed him to earn a college degree from Montana State College.  After medical school and residency at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Dr. Keller had college debt to repay......to his wife!  He agreed to let his wife pick the state in which they would reside, if he could pick the city.  After his Alaska-raised wife chose her home state, Dr. Keller quickly learned that the choice of cities was quite limited.  Aren't we citizens of Anchorage lucky?

Dr. Keller's worst childhood illness?  A close call between pneumonia and a double hernia.  Ouch.

His favorite part of being a healthcare provider?  "Watching children change over the years."

His advice for patients?  "Have fun or change your job!"

His interests?  Fishing, woodworking, growing big plants, umpiring youth softball games, and spending time with his family.
