Clara DeJesus-Kalil, M.D.

I began my medical career as a Registered Nurse working in medicine, OB and surgery. Wanting to further my career in medicine, I applied and was accepted to medical school in 2007. Completing a general internship in the Dominican Republic, I subsequently opened and ran my own practice in Puerto Rico for 8 years.

After the opportunity arose to move to Florida, I closed my practice in Puerto Rico and began working for Countryside Medical. Along with my family, I truly love living in Ocala, Florida and am enjoying all that Central Florida has to offer.
