Dr. Keisha Burfoot was born and raised in New York City, where she attended the Macy Medical Professions Program at A. Philip Randolph Campus High School In Harlem. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1991. She received her medical degree from Hahnemann University School of Medicine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1996. While in medical school, she was honored to serve as a medical missionary at Tenwek Hospital in Bomet, Kenya — an experience that helped shape her life and devotion to healing. She then completed a 4-year residency program in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Newark, where she received acknowledgment for special excellence in endoscopic procedures.

For the next 8 years, Dr. Burfoot practiced OB-GYN in Chesapeake, Virginia in a group practice setting. Eager to follow her own spiritual, personal and professional values, she left the security of an established practice and started Elite Women’s Care in August 2008. Her intuition about how to best meet the healthcare needs of women in Tidewater was well-founded and has established Elite Women’s Care as a premier OB-GYN practice in the region.

Dr. Burfoot is board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology, a Fellow in the American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology, and a member of the American Medical Association. She is married with four daughters and a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and Mount Lebanon Missionary Baptist Church. She spends her leisure time with her family and is active in community service.
