Lea, Jenna

I chose to become a physician assistant for the ability to practice in different medical/surgical specialties, as well as for the work-life balance the career provides. My areas of interest include burn surgery, orthopedics, trauma and urgent care medicine. When I am not at the office, I enjoy ceramics, cooking, running, swimming and music.

I am a prenatal and reproductive genetic counselor with over five years of experience. I work closely with families during and prior to pregnancy to guide and support them in learning about how inherited diseases and conditions might affect them and their families, in making decisions about testing, and in interpreting genetic test results based on their personal and family history.

I am a specialist in both bariatric endoscopy and advanced/therapeutic endoscopy techniques. My areas of interest include endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), endoscopic revision of gastric bypass with transoral outlet reduction (TORe,) endoscopic revision of sleeve gastrectomy and intragastric balloon placements. I am also interested in management of complications post-bariatric surgery. Additionally, I perform advanced pancreaticobiliary procedures for a wide range of complex gastrointestinal disorders through the use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) as well as both diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound (EUS).
