Emily Egan PA-C

Emily Henderson is a board-certified physician assistant

Emily Egan, PA-C was born outside Philadelphia and attended B. Reed Henderson High School before earning a soccer scholarship to West Chester University, where she completed her Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training. After an ACL injury ended her collegiate soccer career, she was introduced to the role of an orthopedic physician assistant—an experience that inspired her career path and helps her relate to patients facing their own injuries.

She went on to earn a Master’s degree in Exercise Science with a concentration in sports medicine from the University of Delaware, completing thesis research on chronic ankle instability in collegiate athletes while working as an athletic trainer for men’s soccer and women’s volleyball. Emily then spent three years applying her athletic training skills in orthopedic offices, gaining hands-on experience alongside orthopedic surgeons and ultimately deciding to pursue PA school.

Emily earned her Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies from Eastern Michigan University in 2020 and has since built several years of experience in orthopedic surgery. She is committed to delivering excellent, compassionate care—whether helping athletes return to competition or enabling patients to simply function without pain—and is dedicated to keeping every patient moving. She is also a high-level Cross-Fit athlete, having won several national competitions.
