Vermont native Dr. Jesse Hahn has joined the orthopedic surgery team at Gifford Medical Center in Randolph, providing surgical and non-surgical care for injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
A native of Essex, Dr. Hahn is a graduate of Essex High School and the University of Richmond in Virginia. He went on to earn his doctor of medicine degree from the University of Vermont College of Medicine, where he also completed his residency and served on the faculty as a clinical instructor.
Dr. Hahn has now joined Gifford full-time, is staying in Randolph and is relishing the opportunity to provide local care.
“I am now a neighbor,” Dr. Hahn says. “That’s what I enjoy, taking care of neighbors.”
The ability to help people is what drew Dr. Hahn to medicine.
He offers a friendly, comforting, patient-focused approach.
Seeing a doctor shouldn’t be nerve-wracking, he notes, likening his job to that of a mechanic. He is providing a service. But the service he provides goes beyond that of technician. He is also caring for an individual, and partnering with that individual to meet his or her unique goals.
Sometimes meeting those goals takes surgery. Sometimes more conservative approaches, such as physical therapy and time, work best.
“I am eager to help in any way I can,” says this modest caregiver with up-to-date training.
Dr. Hahn provides care for all types of bone, joint and tendon injuries. Early in his medical education, he contemplated a career in pediatrics. Orthopedic care for children and adolescents consequently remains a special interest of Dr. Hahn’s along with trauma, fractures and upper extremity ailments.
Dr. Hahn is a member of the Orthopedic Trauma Association and AOTrauma, an international community of trauma and orthopedic surgeons, researchers and operating room personnel. In the spring, he begins a trauma fellowship, first in Germany and then in California.
Dr. Hahn is accepting new patients at Gifford’s orthopedics practice in Randolph. Call Gifford’s central scheduling office at (802) 728-2777.
Dr. Hahn works with orthopedics physician assistant Brad Salzmann in Randolph. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Stephanie Landvater works out of Gifford’s Berlin practice, the Gifford Health Center at Berlin, and provides surgery in Randolph.
In his free time, Dr. Hahn enjoys the outdoors, including hiking and skiing, as well as auto repair.
