Dr. Mairin Jerome is a physiatrist with subspecialty fellowship training in Interventional Orthopedics and Regenerative Medicine. Born and raised in New York City, Dr. Jerome obtained her undergraduate degree in studio art with a focus on sculpture from Brown University. Following college, she completed a two-year commitment with Teach for America. She received her medical degree from the University of Vermont College of Medicine, during which she pursued an additional year-long student fellowship in anatomic pathology and researched the effects of stretching on connective tissue cellular morphology. She completed her physiatry residency at Emory University, where she gained extensive experience in general physiatry, image-guided procedural interventions, and regenerative medicine. At Emory, Dr. Jerome served as Chief Resident, received an award for her research, and for three consecutive years was awarded ‘Resident of the Year.’

Dr. Jerome completed her fellowship in Interventional Orthopedics and Regenerative Medicine at the Centeno-Schultz Clinic in 2020. She then served as an attending physician and Medical Director at the Regenerative SportsCare Institute (RSI) in New York City. She was fortunate to return to Centeno-Schultz in 2022, where she further honed her skills in complex spine and joint procedures, in addition to developing treatment protocols for pelvic pain. Dr. Jerome is thrilled to join the talented team at Regenexx Des Moines.

Outside of work, Dr. Jerome enjoys spending time with her dog, Oliver, practicing Ashtanga yoga, and spending as much time as possible outdoors

Orthobiologic injections allow us to help the body repair areas of musculoskeletal degeneration and injury without the use of (and associated cell damage from) corticosteroids, with the goal of regaining function, decreasing pain, and avoiding surgery. I take the time to let my patients tell me their whole story, including their goals and challenges, and perform a thorough musculoskeletal exam. I take a whole-body, holistic approach to my patients, and work with my patients to get them “back into their game”.

Areas treated: Foot & Ankle, Elbow, Hand & Wrist, Knee, Hip, Shoulder
