MEET THE HOPE DOCS TEAM

Dr. Kaylee Simmerman

Owner, Founder, CEO. Orthopedic and Pelvic Floor Expert

Dr. Kaylee started The HOPE Doctors in 2018 in order to eliminate shame and guilt around pelvic floor dysfunction in Tampa Bay.

The business started following an unfortunate recognition of how poorly the medical system is set up to support women through many journeys in their lives. Initially starting with solely offering home sessions, we have grown to have 2 locations, home sessions, virtual options, and online courses and memberships!

The growth of the practice has continued as we have been able to bring on trauma - informed and heart - centered therapists. Our goal is to truly offer you HOPE and provide the best experience for your pelvic healthcare journey that we possibly can.


Dr. Johanna Gaffney

In-Person & Virtual Sessions

Dr. Johanna received her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL in 2024. Johanna earned her Bachelor of Science degree from Oneonta State University in Oneonta, New York in 2021.

Her passion for physical therapy began in the sophomore year of her undergraduate studies when she worked at a PT clinic for a summer and assisted in the care of a patient with Cerebral Palsy. Johanna realized PT was her calling when she was a part of this patient's journey as she reached her goal of walking across the stage at her high school graduation. 

Johanna was a multisport athlete throughout high school, including playing basketball in college. She found her passion for health and fitness through her active lifestyle and life as an athlete. Johanna is also heavily focused on mindfulness, yoga and meditation, and she loves to share this approach with the people around her, including her patients.
