"I am passionate about educating my patient's about the profound impact life style changes including diet and exercise can have on the management of chronic disease.
I love helping patient's understand and control their own treatment."

Peter Alfano, PA

Peter Alfano, PA is one of Chelmsford Family Practice’s physician assistants. One role of the physician assistant is to educate patients and help them understand and control their own treatment; a second is to diagnose and treat patients who need routine care or need to be seen when sick. Much like a doctor, physician assistants are licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to prescribe medications and order necessary medical tests.

 

Peter’s role includes performing physical exams, sick visits, minor medical procedures, emergency room follow-ups, inpatient follow-ups, preoperative exams, and physicals.  He is particularly passionate about educating patients on the profound impact lifestyle changes including diet and exercise can have on management of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.

 

After earning a bachelor’s degree from the University of New England in Maine, Peter attended MCPHS University’s PA program and graduated with Alpha Eta academic honors. 

Prior to working at CFP, he practiced primary care medicine in western Massachusetts for three years, gaining valuable experience in both acute and chronic disease management.  Peter is originally from Salem, NH.
