– Get to know Dr. Jess:

Q: Where did you receive your degree?
A: I received my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from George Washington University in Washington D.C. graduating top of my class.

Q: Do you have any speciality areas?
A: I am a Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist in Physical Therapy. This means, beyond my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, I have advanced training in injuries that involve the muscle or skeletal system. If you have neck, back, shoulder, hip, knee, foot pain - head to toe, I’m your gal!

Q: How many years of experience do you have?
A: I have 18 years experience in the physical therapy profession with advanced training from George Washington University, Georgetown University, USC, and NYU. 

Q: Why did you become a physical therapist?
A: Dance was the main catalyst for me to become a PT. As a former ballerina, instructor and choreographer, I am just in awe of the human body and how it can move! The body can achieve amazing things when provided with the optimal environment to thrive.

Q: Have you had any injuries yourself?
A: I fractured my T5 vertebra in 2014 in a bicycle accident. This was a very painful injury. It gave me a first-hand appreciation of the patient experience which is why I am very passionate about providing not only high quality care to my patients but also compassionate care. Being in pain and recovering from an injury is not easy. I want to be there to support you step by step through the process so you can achieve your goals.
