Dr. Dernovish has lived in Richmond for over 10 years, earning her Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from VCU in 2018, and her Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2024. Between degrees, she worked in inpatient rehab settings where she discovered her love for PT. In school, she participated in research focused on the experiences of amputees and prosthetic use. She presented this research at the American Physical Therapy Association’s Combined Sections Meeting in 2024.

Dr. Dernovish has a passion for treating people with pelvic pain, specifically in the weightlifting community. When she is not working, she enjoys hiking with her dog, Bubba, weight lifting, exploring nature around the east coast and spending too much money eating out.
