Hughston Clinic Orthopaedics Welcomes Two New Physicians: Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon Dr. Jennifer M. O’Donnell, and Dr. Gleb Medvedev, Orthopaedic Upper Extremity and Hand Surgeon.
Dr. Jennifer O’Donnell joined Hughston Clinic Orthopaedics team of experienced specialists this fall, and she is already making an impact on the Middle Tennessee community with her knowledge and skill. She sees patients at Hughston Clinic Orthopaedics’ Nashville – Centennial, Lebanon, and Smyrna – StoneCrest locations. She specializes in orthopaedic and spine surgery, with a focus on minimally invasive techniques, cervical trauma, and the latest innovations in complex spine surgery.
Dr. O’Donnell received her Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College, where she majored in Physics modified with Biology and Italian Language & Literature. She earned her medical degree with Distinction in Research from Rutgers University, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, NJ. She completed her residency in Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), followed by a yearlong fellowship in Orthopaedic Spine Surgery at Emory University in Atlanta, GA.
When asked about her goals in patient care, she shares: “After a visit with me, what I’m hoping is that the patient feels that we’ve worked together as a team. Between me and my support staff, the patient, and their family and loved ones—that we’ve come together and developed a treatment plan that everyone’s happy about, whether that entails surgery or not. That we’ve worked together as a team to get them through this.”

Dr. Gleb Medvedev recently joined Hughston Clinic Orthopaedics and brings a wealth of experience and insight to the Middle Tennessee area, having recently relocated from New Orleans, where he practiced medicine before joining the Hughston team.
He sees patients at Hughston Clinic Orthopaedics’ Nashville – Harding Place and Smyrna – StoneCrest locations, and focuses on hand, wrist, and elbow problems. He has particular interest in peripheral nerve issues, wrist arthroscopy, and hand trauma, with an emphasis on procedures that maximize patient recovery speed.
Dr. Medvedev received both his undergraduate degree, a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience, and his medical degree from Tulane University in New Orleans, LA.

Following residency, he completed a hand surgery fellowship at the Philadelphia Hand Center in Philadelphia, PA.
Regarding his goals for patient care, he shares: “I think it’s really important that we’re on the same level. You can ask me as many questions as you like. My goal for you as a patient is to understand your condition, understand your choices, and feel comfortable with the route that we’re taking with your care.”
