EDUCATION

Gabriella is a board-certified Physician Assistant specializing in orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, and work-related injuries. She provides comprehensive nonoperative orthopedic care, serves as First Assist for arthroscopic and total knee arthroplasty surgeries, and performs in-office procedures including joint injections and Iovera® cryoneurolysis.

Gabriella earned her Master of Physician Assistant Studies from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) in 2025. Before becoming a Physician Assistant, she spent seven years as an X-Ray Technologist at a Level I Trauma Center. Working alongside orthopedic surgeons in both the emergency department and operating room inspired her to pursue a career in orthopedic medicine, where she could play a more active role in diagnosing, treating, and guiding patients throughout their recovery. Gabriella strives to provide thoughtful, patient-centered care by listening to her patients' concerns and helping them make informed decisions about their treatment.

Outside of the office, Gabriella enjoys strength training, Pilates, exploring the New England outdoors, and trying new restaurants with family and friends.
