Dr. Jedrzejewski’s lifelong commitment to social justice and dream of becoming a doctor led her to become an integrated plastic surgeon specializing in the full array of gender-affirming procedures. As the daughter of a Polish immigrant and a Mexican-American, and the first in her family to graduate from college, Dr. Jedrzejewski carries a deep compassion for patients who may have experienced trauma or have had challenges accessing the healthcare they need. Her family’s international background inspired her decision to pursue a master’s degree in public health focused on global health as well as her desire to understand more deeply the challenges marginalized communities experience accessing healthcare. Dr. Jedrzejewski was also deeply inspired by the portrait photography she studied as an undergraduate to think about how subjects saw themselves and how artists chose to portray them. These questions have shaped how Dr. Jedrzejewski approaches patient care – closely collaborating with each of her patients to understand how they view themselves and how they wish to be seen in the world.
