Meet our team

Jessina is a Nurse Practitioner with a degree in Zoology, extensive ICU experience as a bedside RN, and specialized training in endocrinology and internal medicine.

She began her career in Endocrinology immediately after graduate school 10 years ago. She then transitioned into Internal Medicine. Following her pregnancy she developed POTS and due to the scarcity of specialists available to guide her treatment, she immersed herself in understanding dysautonomias. As her knowledge deepened, her focus expanded to include connective tissue diseases and mast cell disorders, extending beyond traditional allergy/immunology into areas such as complement factor dysfunction.

Through this journey, she has come to realize that the fragmentation of medical specialties often prevents providers from recognizing the comorbidities that patients with these disorders frequently experience. For instance, POTS can involve dysregulation across multiple systems—neurological, cardiological, endocrinological, gastroenterological, and immunological. However, it is rare for patients to have access to specialists in all these areas, particularly in the context of dysautonomias. Endocrinologists with specialty knowledge of dysautonomias are almost nonexistent, despite the fact that hormone imbalances can significantly impact these conditions.

Jessina's mission is to educate healthcare providers on these complex comorbidities and to offer accessible diagnostic approaches for diseases that remain poorly understood.

We want patients to know they’re not alone in their journey. This practice may be very small to start, but we plan on growing as we progress and educating one provider at a time!
