ABOUT ME
I’m Puja Chhetri, a certified Physician Assistant in primary care. I’m passionate about providing compassionate, patient-centered care and believe in partnering with patients to achieve their health goals. As a first-generation student and the first in my family to earn both a college and master’s degree, I bring dedication and perseverance to my work and to the patients I serve.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Before becoming a Physician Assistant, I worked as a Medical Assistant in a primary care setting, where I gained hands on experience in patient care and supporting patients in managing their health. This background sparked my passion for primary care and inspired me to pursue advanced training as a PA.
FAVORITE ACTIVITY OUTSIDE OF WORK
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, watching Arizona’s sunsets, hiking, cooking, traveling, and spending time with my loved ones, including my cat Pumpkin.
