PartnerMD Office: Midlothian, Virginia
As a family medicine physician in Midlothian, VA, Dr. Jordan Jackson works closely with his patients to develop a trusted relationship, build healthy lifestyle habits, and explore what their own picture for health and wellness looks like.
Dr. Jackson’s interest in primary care sparked during his service as a Combat Medic with the Virginia Army National Guard. While deployed, he would often be the primary medical contact for service members.
"I really enjoyed the day-to-day relationships I had with our soldiers," Dr. Jackson says. "I understood their challenges, and the issues that ailed them, and that I could make a positive impact on their life. That’s what made me want to pursue a career in primary care."
For Dr. Jackson, primary care is about working with patients at the intersection of their health and their everyday life.
"Health and wellness are all based on those daily lifestyle routines. I believe in listening to each patient. Diving deep into those routines and how we can make progress is key to any partnership with a physician."
Dr. Jackson is passionate about wellness and illness prevention. He cares for patients generally down to age eight, but he has extensive experience working with older individuals and those with multiple comorbidities and medically complex situations.
He earned his medical degree from VCU and completed his family medicine residency at St. Francis Hospital and Chesterfield Family Medicine.
Before joining PartnerMD, Dr. Jackson practiced at Patterson Avenue Family Practice, a Bon Secours-affiliated primary care practice.
Dr. Jackson believes in collaborating to develop a plan that is medically right and will work for each patient within their life and daily routines.
"Getting the best of both is critical," he says. "If what we’re working on medically doesn’t fit into your lifestyle, your work schedule, your routine, it’s going to be difficult to achieve the goals we set."
When working with patients, the most important thing for Dr. Jackson is to first listen and fully understand each concern.
After any necessary exams, tests, and screenings, he works with patients to start a plan based on their individual preferences and needs, and then regularly follows up with patients to track their progress.
"Medicine is best with a team approach," he says. "Treating disease and preventing illness requires a multi-faceted strategy involving both medical and lifestyle therapies that are personalized to each patient. That’s when we can really make progress."
Dr. Jackson grew up in a small town in Southwestern Virginia before attending the University of Virginia. Prior to medical school, he worked with the developmentally disabled, assisted in brain injury research, and deployed as a combat medic with the Virginia Army National Guard.
Today, he lives in Richmond with his wife, two young daughters, two cats, and a French bulldog and golden retriever, who are quite the duo.
In his free time, Dr. Jackson loves spending time with family, traveling, bicycling, and enjoying all that Richmond has to offer.
Like Dr. Keller, Dr. Jackson is an avid fisher and loves getting out on the water every chance he can. He also enjoys running and is excited to compete in the George Washington Parkway Classic (a 10-miler) this year.
