About Me

I am a family medicine physician at University of Vermont Medical Center, focusing on obstetrics, comprehensive reproductive health, transgender and LGBTQ care, pediatrics, addiction medicine and care of New Americans. I treat gender dysphoria, cardiovascular and metabolic conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity), gynecologic and reproductive issues and depression/anxiety.

I believe in collaborative decision-making with my patients while embracing complementary therapies and supporting healthy lifestyles. I practice a family-centered approach to prenatal care, delivery and child wellness.

Beyond my career in family medicine, I'm an assistant professor at UVM Larner College of Medicine. My research interests include reproductive health, maternal-child health, transgender care and anti-racism. I live with my wife, child and chickens in Burlington.

I believe in collaborative decision-making with my patients while embracing complementary therapies and supporting healthy lifestyles.

Most Recent Comments

  • I felt she knew who I was
  • Written instructions for post-op clear and useful
  • The student doctor was FANTASTIC! Anja seemed rushed and "frantic". The sense of too much to do and not enough time. My appointment was an annual that was two years in the making. I felt like it was a random visit for a specific ailment.
  • Dr Jokela is excellent
  • I got a printout of visit which is very helpful.
  • Really appreciated the perspective that I was a new patient to primary care but not entirely new patient - talked through the systems perspective which really works with me as a pretty high medical literacy patient.
  • Dr. Jokela is an outstanding PCP!
  • Dr. Jokela is amazing. She has always included me in all aspects of my care. Feel very fortunate to be in her care.
  • From the moment Dr. Jokela entered the room and introduced herself with her pronouns, I felt so comfortable with her (I've never had another MD do that). I feel like I received excellent care from her, and am very grateful to have her support in my gender affirming healthcare.
  • Love UVM adult clinic.
  • Jokela is a great listener.
  • Dr. JOKELA is an excellent doctor.
  • Definitely very good - Dr. Jokela is very attentive, caring and approachable. She listens well and provides honest opinions and works with her patient to understand - she is open to questions and never makes her patient feel rushed. Without realizing it at the time I was guilty of taking more of her time than the amount of time that was scheduled. It was a complicated visit, but Dr. Jokela handled it very well and I thank her!
