Jane Klaes, DO

After practicing for 15 years in the conventional medical system, I started my own clinic to offer patients a personalized, creative approach to healthcare.

I'm a Michigan native; grew up in Plymouth and attended the University of Michigan.

In my 20s I started the Washtenaw County chapter of HERO, a one-on-one mentoring program for homeless adults. We facilitated classes in homeless shelters and prisons on goal-setting and developing a vision for the future, then graduates were matched with community volunteers who helped them reach their goals.

At 29, I embarked on my own long-time dream of becoming a doctor. After graduating from medical school at MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2004, I completed a residency in Family Medicine, then moved to rural West Virginia to work at a federally funded clinic.

There I was able to maintain and hone a broad range of skills, as many patients did not want to travel to the city for specialty care. I also enjoyed the beauty of West Virginia – hills, gorges, rivers, biking, kayaking, skiing and hiking.

From there, I came home to Ann Arbor and worked at Integrated Health Associates (IHA) until 2019. While at IHA, I helped create a program to optimize physician-patient communication, and participated in a fantastic leadership training program for medical providers.

I made the decision to start my own practice so I could focus on taking care of patients using an innovative model of healthcare, without the hassle of insurance or government requirements.
