Jess Gardner, APRN, CNP

Idea of Care

I believe patients deserve to be treated as people, not diagnoses. I want my patients to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing their concerns and having a say in the decisions that impact their health.

My job is to listen, provide honest and understandable information and work with each patient to find a plan that makes sense for them.

One of the things I love about dermatology is patient education. Our skin changes throughout our lives and many of those changes are normal and to be expected. Being able to explain what is happening, what to watch for and what doesn’t need to be worried about can provide a tremendous amount of reassurance.

Personal Interests

Jess loves being able to call the community where she was born and raised home. Her parents and most of her extended family still live in the Jamestown area, so she has deep roots in the community.

When she’s not working, she enjoys spending time with her husband and five daughters. Some of her hobbies include running, lifting weights, rockhounding and tumbling rocks.
