Jennifer Romania

Jennifer N. Romania is a nationally certified Physician Associate with a passion to serve others using her knowledge of internal medicine and experience as a dermatology PA-C to achieve beautifully balanced and natural-looking results in aesthetic medicine as an injector.

As a classically trained pianist, she obtained her Bachelor of Science in Music Education with a minor in Psychology from Penn State University. She then went on to live and work in Tokyo, Japan where she taught music. After a major life event brought her back to the states, she discovered her life’s true purpose: to serve others in healthcare. This new found passion and purpose to help others feel their best led to her completion of Penn State University’s Accelerated Premedical Sciences Program where she earned her Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in the Premedical Sciences. She then received her Master of Health Science degree upon completion of the Physician Assistant Program at Drexel University in 2016.

Jennifer strongly believes and practices a holistic idea of health and wellness where all dimensions are intertwined and impact each other - feeling confident about the way you look positively affects your mental and physical state. She also places great importance on learning and continuing medical and aesthetic education. She enjoys attending lectures, training, and anything that can further her knowledge and skill set to better serve her patients. She is a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants, the Pennsylvania Society of Physician Assistants and The Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants.
