About Jenna L. Kavanaugh, MPAS, PA-C

  • When not at work, Ms. Kavanaugh and her husband are usually found chasing after their three children. Her favorite spot “in all of Central Texas – Maudie’s!” She also loves the Hill Country, and her advice to all is “move your joints!”

I have been fascinated with medicine my whole life. I like to understand why and how things work and simultaneously share that knowledge while caring for others, helping make them better. That is one of the reasons I chose orthopedics. Patients often have many questions, but may not even know what to ask. I hope that I bring value to my visits by spending time talking and explaining as much as I can, making patients comfortable with asking questions and ultimately comfortable with their care.

    Jenna is always so personable and takes the time to listen to my concerns. Basically, she shows interest in knowing my entire physical and mental well-being. Yet, in this case, she gave me my knee gel injection quickly and efficiently in a kind and gentle manner.

    Dr. Padalecki Had told me and my husband he would be glad to continue administering cortisone injections and alternate them with gel injections as long as we would like. At this last visit, the PA told me my arthritis is really bad and I will eventually have to have knee surgery. “You can only put this off for so long.” I was Very disappointed.
