Jessica Kernodle, PA-C, is a board-certified physician assistant and Richmond native. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences and Biology from James Madison University in 2008 and went on to receive her Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Shenandoah University in 2010. She has 12+ years of experience as a PA in the fields of emergency medicine, women’s health, and aesthetics. Her passion for aesthetic medicine began when she worked in the emergency department where she honed her procedural skills and enjoyed the challenge of suturing wounds to achieve a good cosmetic closure. Jessica began her injecting career in 2017 and has undergone extensive training in cosmetic injecting, including advanced techniques using neurotoxins and dermal fillers. For Jessica, the aesthetic field is the perfect combination of medicine and artistry. She strives to keep up with the latest advances in this ever changing field by attending conferences and hands-on cadaver anatomy courses specific to injecting. She enjoys using her artistic eye to develop treatments plans to help her patients look and feel their best. She loves connecting with her patients while building lasting relationships and strives to make them feel at ease when discussing their concerns.

Jessica is a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants and Virginia Academy of Physician Assistants. She was voted by her peers as one of Richmond’s “Top Docs” in Richmond Magazine‘s physician assistant category and recognized by Our Health Magazine for “Best Bedside Manner.”

She now resides in Midlothian with her husband, Shea, and their two young boys and rambunctious golden-doodle, “Beau.” In their free time they enjoy spending time at the beach as well as exploring all that Richmond has to offer. Jessica also has a knack for baking, crafting, and entertaining.
