The practice has the full support of Prima CARE specialists and testing facilities, which are readily-available on Prima CARE's main Fall River campus. These include a full Laboratory, Radiology, Cardiac and Pulmonary testing, Allergy, GI endoscopy, Physical Therapy, and Infectious Diseases, etc. This satellite office in Swansea offers phlebotomy and Xray.

Compensation is competitive, with benefits that include health insurance, malpractice coverage, a 401K retirement plan, a CME allowance, and paid time off. Southeast Massachusetts is a lovely part of New England, surrounded by city, waterfront, suburban, or farmland communities. Fifteen minutes from Providence, 45-60 minutes from Boston, and 30 minutes from Cape Cod and Newport, this is an attractive location with a multitude of choices for home and recreation.
