Dr. Chevalier's bio
This content was provided by Dr. Chevalier "Dr. Chevalier is board certified in both Family Medicine and Hospice and Palliative Medicine. She obtained nursing assistant certification while in college and worked in a nursing home providing personal care and assistance for residents prior to applying for medical school.

She was in private practice in Medford for 6 years before joining Hallmark Health Medical Associates in 2011.

Her efforts were acknowledged by the Massachusetts Home Care Alliance and she was named their Physician of the Year in 2015. She recently joined Perfect Health, a home-based primary care practice devoted to providing the highest quality care to patients who require care at home or in an Assisted Living Facility."
