About Jamie Hermance, MHS, PA-C

Jamie Hermance, MHS, PA-C is a nationally certified and Pennsylvania-licensed Physician Assistant who is deeply committed to helping patients stay active, independent, and comfortable – while avoiding surgery whenever possible.

At Iron Mountain Orthopaedic Institute, Jamie is passionate about helping patients of all ages dealing with arthritis, joint pain, tendon problems and sports injuries. She focuses on conservative, evidence-based treatment plans designed to relieve pain, improve mobility, and protect joint health, always leaning towards the least invasive options and working with her patients together to come up with a plan centered on their goals.
Jamie was drawn to Iron Mountain Orthopaedic Institute because its “less is more” philosophy deeply resonated with her. The practice’s emphasis on listening first, giving patients the time needed to develop a thoughtful care plan, minimizing unnecessary procedures, and tailoring treatment to each patient’s goals reflects how she believes orthopaedics should be practiced—especially for individuals who want to maintain their quality of life while resorting to surgery only when it is truly the best solution.

This philosophy is further reflected in the practice’s science-driven, ethical approach to regenerative treatments, including PRP, Stem Cells, laser therapy, and other orthobiologic options. Under the leadership of Mark Ayzenberg, MD, FAAOS, a member of the National Orthobiologic Ethics Consortium, the practice is committed to offering evidence-based therapies, setting realistic expectations, and educating patients thoroughly so they can make informed decisions about their care. Jamie strongly aligns with this vision and Iron Mountain Orthopaedic Institute’s commitment to comprehensive, non-surgical solutions whenever possible – an approach that stands in contrast to the surgery-first model common in many orthopaedic practices.

Jamie brings broad clinical experience that allows her to guide patients with perspective, helping them understand when surgery may truly be necessary and, just as importantly, when it can be safely avoided. She believes patients deserve thoughtful recommendations, not rushed decisions. Patients appreciate Jamie’s calm, compassionate approach and the time she takes to listen and educate. She explains diagnoses, imaging findings, and treatment options in clear, practical terms, helping patients feel informed, confident, and supported throughout their care.
Jamie earned her Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Bucknell University and her Master of Health Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Drexel University in Philadelphia. She is NCCPA certified, BLS certified and licensed in Pennsylvania. Jamie is proud to be part of the Iron Mountain Orthopaedics team and is dedicated to helping patients move better, feel stronger, and stay active on their own terms.

In her free time, Jamie enjoys hiking and skiing, reading, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. She values staying active, meaningful connections, and lifelong learning. Jamie is honored to join the team at Iron Mountain Orthopaedic Institute and looks forward to caring for patients in her home state of Pennsylvania.
