Bio
Kelly L. Babineaux, MD serves as Co-Service Line Chief at University Medical Center and an Associate Professor
of Hand Surgery.
Dr. Babineaux is a graduate of Louisiana State University in both undergraduate and
medical school. She decided on surgery and completed a general surgery residency,
also at LSU. During her general surgery training, she became interested in surgery
of the hand and sought out a fellowship in hand surgery. She finished her fellowship
in Hand and Microsurgery at Yale University, and we were indeed fortunate to recruit
her to LSU, within the division of plastic surgery. She subsequently obtained a Certificate
of Additional Qualification in surgery of the hand.
Dr. Babineaux has built a formidable service in hand surgery, primarily at our teaching
hospital, University Medical Center.
She is a devoted teacher and is widely admired by the residency corps. She has contributed
to the literature in hand surgery, primarily in the area of hand trauma, which is
in abundance at UMC.
