Philip Lafontaine, PA-C

Certified Physician Assistant

Legacy Office

I believe that learning and growth never stop. Mistakes are not failures but opportunities to improve. I embrace challenges as a way to evolve, and I seek knowledge in all areas of life: personal, professional, and emotional. Growth isn’t linear, it’s about taking small steps forward, even when the path isn’t clear."
