Smithfield Pediatrics is excited to announce that board-certified Physician’s Assistant Jennifer Portelli-Gupta will be joining our practice to periodically help with sick and urgent care visits. With her help, we will be able to accommodate more same day visits in a timely manner. Having another provider will also allow Dr. Dietrich and Jennifer Barton PA-C to have increased availability in their schedules to see their established patients for well visits, consults, and follow ups to keep them on track for the year!
Originally from New York City, Jennifer Portelli-Gupta moved to Waltham, MA and completed her bachelor’s degree in psychology, double minoring in anthropology and philosophy. She then held a variety of roles within the healthcare field throughout the years, including working with children with autism, until she pursued her master’s degree in Physician Assistant Studies at Bryant University. There she completed a wide variety of clinical rotations, including completing her pediatrics rotation here in our office. Since graduating, she is working at Brown Medicine in the emergency department and has gained a great deal of experience in acute care there that will make her an excellent fit to treat the children in our practice.
Please join us in welcoming her to the practice! To avoid confusion with Jennifer Barton, we are going to call her JP.
