Jefferson Surgical Clinic was founded in 1956 by W. W. S. Butler, Jr., M.D.; W. W. S. Butler III, M.D.; A. P. Jones, M.D.; Hugh Trout, Jr., M.D. and Robert L. A. Keeley, M.D. Our current office at 1234 Franklin Road, Roanoke, Virginia, housed the original practice that served the Jefferson Hospital and its patients. The Salem, Virginia, office was added in 2000, and we expanded to a third office at 1229 3rd Street, Roanoke, Virginia, in 2001.

Robert L. A. Keeley, M.D., has devoted nearly 50 years to the practice of surgery at Jefferson Surgical Clinic and continues to see patients today. He was the 2004 recipient of the Roanoke Academy of Medicine’s Lifetime Achievement Award and was the 2001 University of Virginia Medical Alumnus of the Year. Dr. Keeley best states the guiding principles of Jefferson Surgical Clinic when he says:

“First, the patient always comes first. Always. Second, if one of our doctors asks his partner for assistance, it is given. Always. Third, we only choose physicians who we would trust to take care of our own families.”
