Jennifer Lewis, PA-C

Board Certified Physician Assistant

Jen is a Physician Assistant who joined Dr. Moelleken’s practice in 2010.  After graduating from High School, Jen began her bioscience education at Butler University.  Early on she realized that she wanted to pursue medicine as an occupation.  She then studied Bio/ Pre-medicine with an emphasis on health Sciences. After receiving her Bachelor’s degree, she continued her education at the Butler University School of Medicine to complete her Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies in 2008.  She also completed her clinical rotations at the prestigious Methodist Hospital in downtown Indianapolis, IN.  For additional clinical experience, in preparation for a career in orthopaedics,  she  trained at numerous hospitals in Indiana.  In addition to her required coursework, she travelled abroad to Peru, South America, for an underserved rotation with emphasis on Primary Care/Family Practice.  After graduation Jen moved to Los Angeles, CA and joined a private General Orthopedic practice. While there she sharpened her  Orthopedic skills for nearly two years, then found that Spine Orthopedics was the next challenge she desired to master. This lead her to join Dr. Moelleken’s practice. She sees patients in our Van Nuys office as well as other satellite offices for our team, bringing both her life experience and medical expertise to our multi-specialty orthopedic practice.
