Teresa Jolley

Teresa, a dedicated and compassionate Physician Assistant, was born and raised in the heart of Missouri. Her journey to becoming a Physician Assistant was paved with diverse experiences, starting with a career in professional photography and then advancing as a Radiological Technologist. Teresa is a proud alumna of Missouri State University, where she completed her formal education and training in 2005.

Teresa has devoted most of her career to hospital-based medicine, excelling in roles such as Hospitalist, Critical Care, and Emergency Medicine. The challenges and experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic inspired her to transition into primary care, where she found new opportunities to connect with patients on a deeper level. This shift allowed her to explore Direct Primary Care and perform Department of Transportation DOT physical exams, broadening her scope of practice and enhancing her patient care skills.

Passionate about treating hypothyroidism, a condition she personally manages, Teresa is committed to a more natural and holistic approach to healthcare, always considering her patients' willingness and preferences. Her empathetic nature and dedication to personalized care have earned her the trust and respect of her patients.

Outside of her professional life, Teresa and her husband enjoy the tranquility and fulfillment of maintaining a hobby farm. This personal endeavor not only reflects her love for a balanced lifestyle but also reinforces her appreciation for natural and wholesome living.

Teresa's unique blend of hospital experience, dedication to patient-centered care, and passion for holistic treatment methods make her a valued and trusted healthcare provider.
