About Me

Conditions I specialize in
  • Family Medicine

Dr. Shelby Blanton truly believes everyone deserves to live life to the fullest and to enjoy the best life possible. For her, this starts with her patients’ health. She enjoys the broad spectrum of family medicine and the opportunity to develop long-term relationships with people and their families.

As a board-certified physician, Dr. Blanton sees all ages, from newborns through geriatrics, for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic conditions. She believes in shared decision-making, collaborating with her patients when determining treatment plans. She creates a caring and non-judgmental environment where patients can discuss any concerns. As an osteopathic doctor, Dr. Blanton takes a holistic approach to care, incorporating mind, body and spirit for the best results. She encourages everyone to be active, getting out and doing something they enjoy at least several times a week.

Originally from Mt. Sterling, KY, Dr. Blanton served her residency in Cincinnati and fell in love with the city. She has volunteered on mission trips to the Dominican Republic and Belize and hopes to continue that work in the future. She enjoys traveling, especially internationally and to US national parks. She likes to hike, camp and try new restaurants.

    Loved Dr Blanton after meeting with her for the first time. She took the time to listen to me and my concerns while also discussing options with me regarding my care. My only complaint was that my appointment was scheduled at 2 but I don't think I was taken back and seen until closer to 230/245. Then waiting for labs that I ended up having to bypass that day because it was already 330 and I had a wedding to attend at 5.
