Meet Dr. Jennifer LaBonte

Dr. LaBonte is a board certified family physician who grew up in the heart of Massachusetts and now serves in that same community. Described as friendly, approachable and compassionate, she always knew she was destined for a career working with people.

She’s a married mom of three, who lives in the “quiet corner” of Connecticut. She has been a medical secretary for almost 20 years, and loves interacting and building relationships with patients.

In her free time she enjoys shopping on Amazon, drinking coffee, reading, running around after her kiddos, and adding to her expansive earring collection!
