Jessica Bathel MHS, PA-C

she/her

Jessica (Giller) Bathel grew up locally in Suffield, CT. She attended the Entry-Level Master’s Physician Assistant (ELMPA) Program at Quinnipiac University. She was placed at Frank J. Bush, MD, PC for her pediatric rotation, where she immediately fell in love with both pediatrics and the practice. She has been with the practice since her graduation in 2012. She has an interest in preventive medicine, mental health and adolescent care.

Jessica lives in Western Massachusetts with her husband, son, and 3 orange tabby cats. She values spending time with her family and spends most weekends doing so. She is an avid New England Patriots fan and watches as many games as possible with her dad, which she has been doing since she was 13 years old. She enjoys reading, Royal Caribbean cruises, watching competitive cooking shows and exploring new places to eat.

For urgent matters that cannot wait until business hours, our office provides an after-hours emergency triage service (4:30pm–8:00am) for cases where a parent or caregiver needs to speak with a registered nurse for medical advice. There is a charge of $25 for this service that is not covered by insurance.

For all other routine calls such as medication refills, dosing questions, etc. please call during our regularly scheduled hours.

Many health insurance companies have their own nurse advice line. Please check the back of your insurance card/policy for details.
