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.

OVERALL PROVIDER RATING

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"

4.8out of 5
  • August 1, 2025

    She was very thorough, informative and listened. As a result, my condition is vastly improved.

  • July 31, 2025

    Jenna is a skilled orthopedic HCP, but as importantly she supported our family when our father had a reaction to anesthesia and we later learned he had underlying dementia. He was a very difficult, non-compliant patient, but Jenna listened to the family concerns and handled Dad with care and compassion.

    Everyone was helpful and compassionate

    Jenna was, and continues to be, absolutely wonderful. She always takes the time to understand what's going on with my knee and clearly explains everything to me. I know I am in good hands with her and Dr. Padalecki.

  • July 16, 2025

    Great bedside manner-offered “understandable” explanation of what was causing my pain, with X-ray and provided a treatment plan with my input.

    Jenna is fabulous!
