Meet Dr. Jessica Mendelsohn

While practicing in Charlotte, Dr. Mendelsohn was very involved in physician leadership, both as medical director of her practice and throughout the hospital system, serving on various committees. She graduated from the McColl School of Business Physician Leadership Institute in 2012 with thirty physician colleagues. Also in 2012, her peers voted her as one of Charlotte’s “Top Doctors” in the May edition of Charlotte Magazine.
 
After the birth of her first son, Dr. Mendelsohn decided to pursue hospice work with Hospice and Community Care in Rock Hill, SC  while continuing to assist family medicine practices throughout the Charlotte area. Her hospice experience led her to become the medical director of an advanced care planning initiative, helping doctors and the communities they serve to understand better the importance of discussing future healthcare wishes and goals of care.
 
Dr. Mendelsohn had her second son in 2017. A year later, she started recognizing the need for improved primary care in her community and decided to re-enter the practice of family medicine in a new, independent way.

Her first loves are her husband, Dr. David Mendelsohn, who joined her in practice in October 2022, and her two amazing, beautiful sons, Charlie and Henry.
