About Me:

Jefferson Lopez was born and raised in Woodside, NY. He speaks English and Spanish (yo hablo inglés y español). He graduated from Touro University in January 2024 with a BS/MS in Physician Assistant Studies and is now a board-certified PA in NY. He has always had a passion for helping others and naturally gravitated towards medicine. He eventually discovered the PA role through volunteering and shadowing and knew this was what he wanted to do in life. He now works as an ICU PA for NYP. In terms of virtual health care, he is passionate about ease of access for those who may not be able to see a provider in person or who would like to save commute time for smaller issues that could be diagnosed and treated virtually. Modern medicine is advancing, and being able to care for patients from the comfort of their home not only personalizes the patient-provider experience but also increases access to healthcare overall.
