Jennifer Barton, PA

Physician Assistant at Valivera Health

Jennifer Barton specializes in sports medicine, orthopedics, and cosmetic medicine with a passion for helping patients achieve better health.

Background

I applied to PA school because I wanted to work in the operating room working with Orthopedic surgeons.

I graduated from Ohio State in 2007 with a Bachelor's in Exercise Science. I spent a few years working various jobs then went to Kettering College of Medical Arts for my graduate degree. I graduated in 2013 with a Master's in Physician Assistance Studies. I worked for Ohio State Sports Med and Ortho from 2013 to 2019 then I started with Dr. Dulaney-Cripe in 2019. I also work part time in Cosmetic Medicine and have been there since 2021.

My main influence was my mom who worked as a nurse for 41 years. My dad has also influenced my desire to help people as he has been a police officer for 51 years.

The healthcare system is confusing and stressful. I love being the trusted provider to help people with their concerns and navigating the system.

INTERESTS/SPECIALTIES

I love helping people get back to their lives. So many of us change our hobbies, our jobs and how we interact with our families because of pain, so I love to be able to help with that.

I hope that my patients and co-workers agree that I am patient, answer questions and take my time with all of my patients. 😉

To assist patients with Ortho conditions to achieve their goals for pain reduction, be able to work, spend time with their families, enjoy their hobbies and exercise as much as possible.

HOBBIES

I am married and we have pets. We love to travel and I also own and operate a travel agency on my days off of clinic.
