Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 8:30am-6:30pmDr. Kela received her medical degree from the University of Buea in Cameroon, Africa. She completed her Residency in Internal Medicine at Griffin Hospital in Derby, CT, gaining invaluable patient care experience through internships at Griffin Hospital, Yale New Haven Hospital, The University of Connecticut Hospital, and Regions Hospital in Minnesota. These experiences provided hands-on training in many medical fields, including Emergency Medicine, Gastroenterology/Hepatology, Urology/OB-GYN, and Endocrinology. Her work and research experience has provided her with a wealth of knowledge in chronic disease and preventative health. From her experience in her internships, she found that Endocrinology was a passion she wanted to further pursue. She took a Fellowship position at UMass Baystate in their Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism program, which she completed in 2026.
Personally, Dr. Kela loves to dance and travel. She also loves to plan events, and if she did not pursue medicine, would be an event planner.

Dr Valashinas to me is the best Dr. I was a patient of hers for years while she was in Texas. She was always very helpful, caring, and did whatever was needed and possible. To me, there’s no replacement! I’d recommend her to everyone.
5 Star - Google Review
The doctor took his time to review my medical history. After explaining what he thought it may be he went over what we had to do next. Never felt rushed and always had the answers to my questions.
The staff is professional, caring and well trained. Dr. Puchalski is an excellent physician who is a strong diagnostician and looks at the totality of his patient’s medical issues, not just the pulmonary aspect of their condition. I am beyond pleased by the care and treatment I received.
Was a pleasure meeting the Doctors! Explained everything in an excellent way and answered all my questions!
My pulmonologist was excellent; he took his time to review all my records; explained my condition and possible future solution(s) to my issues in the future. Dr. Puchalski is a wonderful doctor – knowledgeable, experienced, kind and very meticulous and dedicated.
Dr. Puchalski was very helpful and was open to my helping me with my health. He did the tests and we talked about that. My lungs were clear.
