Physician Assistant
501 N Harrington St, Raleigh, NC
Paul grew up in New Jersey and earned his bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Rhode Island. During the summers he served as captain of the Upper Township Strathmere Beach Patrol where he instilled in his responsibility, teamwork, and the ability to remain calm under pressure—qualities that continue to shape his clinical practice today. Paul’s career reflects a commitment to clinical excellence, collaborative leadership, and patient-centered care. His approach blends medical expertise with compassion, ensuring that every patient feels heard, respected, and supported in their health journey. Paul is a devoted husband and father of four daughters, as well as a proud dog owner, miniature schnauzer.

He has enjoyed participating in Rotary Club and Italian Club festivities. An avid outdoorsman, Paul stays active through sports, beach outings, and spending time in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Banner Elk, NC—where he finds himself closest to a piece of heaven. Personal Statement I find purpose in the quiet power of primary care—where listening heals and prevention transforms. Every patient encounter is a chance to build trust, restore dignity, and guide lifelong wellness from the ground up with the ‘pursuit of happiness’. Background Before becoming a Physician Assistant, Paul served as a paramedic, gaining firsthand experience in emergency medicine and patient advocacy. He went on to complete his PA training at Drexel University in Philadelphia and has since built a diverse clinical portfolio spanning orthopedics, gastroenterology, urgent care, virtual care, and continuity practice.
