Jordan Waldorff Hill, PA-C

Jordan joined the Southeastern Plastic Surgery team in 2022. She brings over a decade of extensive experience in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, including neuromodulators and dermal fillers. As a dedicated and compassionate Plastic Surgery Physician Assistant, Jordan brings a unique blend of expertise, empathy, and precision to every patient interaction. With a profound commitment to patient well-being and aesthetic enhancement, Jordan plays a pivotal role in the journey towards self-confidence and transformation. Working closely with Dr. Kirbo, Dr. Rosenberg, and Dr. DeRosier, she assists in the operating room as well as directly caring for patients both in the pre- and post-operative period. Jordan graduated from the University of Florida in 2012 with a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies and headed straight for Manhattan. There she spent her time working simultaneously in plastic surgery and busy emergency departments, most notably serving as part of the inaugural team of Lenox Health Greenwich Village opening the first free-standing emergency room in the city. It was during that time that she trained under prominent plastic and reconstructive surgeons honing her aesthetic eye and finding her true passion in non-detectable injectables. Driven by a genuine desire to empower patients and enhance their natural assets, Jordan prioritizes open communication to help develop personalized treatment plans with her patients. After 8 years in New York, Jordan decided it was time to return to the Panhandle to be closer to family. She and her husband live in Liberty County and spend their free time keeping up with their 2-year-old daughter.
