Tjuana Durden Seidl, PA-C
Tjuana Durden Seidl, PA-C is a dedicated physician assistant with over a decade of clinical experience and a deep commitment to relationship-centered medicine. She began her career in cardiology, where she practiced for the first year and a half, before transitioning to primary care in rural South Carolina. This early exposure to both specialty and community-based medicine shaped her holistic, patient-focused approach and strengthened her passion for caring for adults with complex and chronic health needs.
In February of last year, Tjuana and her husband opened their own internal medicine practice, Age Well, built on a simple but powerful philosophy: bring back the way medicine used to be practiced. Serving patients ages 18 and older, the practice focuses on chronic adult conditions and prioritizes extended, meaningful visits — never less than 30 minutes. By allowing more time with each patient, Tjuana fosters deeper relationships, ensuring that patients feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their care. She believes excellent medicine is rooted in connection — not just prescribing treatment, but truly knowing her patients and earning their trust.
Tjuana’s educational background further distinguishes her approach. With degrees in Exercise Science and Exercise Kinesiology and Physiology, she brings advanced knowledge of exercise prescription and nutrition — training that goes beyond traditional PA education. This foundation allows her to help patients achieve their health goals through sustainable lifestyle changes, not just medication management. Inspired by her own family’s healthcare experiences, she strives to be the provider she would want caring for her loved ones. For Tjuana, making a difference in healthcare means becoming the difference — delivering compassionate, comprehensive care that empowers patients to truly age well.

What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I love most about the work I do is the relationship with my patients. They really do become an extended family for me, and I don't just say that to make it sound pretty - they really do become my family. I honestly don't think that patients realize, as much as I help them, they help me too. Sometimes I can be having the worst day, and I go into the exam room with the patient, and I come out feeling better, I feel inspired because of the patient themselves. That really is a rewarding part of what I do. I love the fact that I've been given the knowledge and the ability to be able to truly help people when no one else could give them the answer, no one else was able to figure it out with them. That's incredibly rewarding, and that's what makes me absolutely love what I do.
