Dr. Parente has been practicing medicine for 16 years. “I always wanted to be a pediatrician, as long as I can remember- it was what I wanted to do. I love working with children and I’ve always wanted to make a difference in a child’s life.” She also enjoys seeing her patients grow up and seeing who they become. When asked about her philosophy of care, she stresses that you must, “Listen, listen, and listen.” In Dr. Parente’s spare time she likes to play tennis, cook, garden, run, and watch her kids play sport

Our experience with Dr. Parente was exceptional!She patiently listened to us and explained everything in a very clear manner. She is very knowledgeable and thorough, but what makes her stand out is her warm, kind, friendly demeanor:))

Dr. Parente is amazing. We live in Shrewsbury and we're seeing her at the Westborough office for a few yrs. When she moved, we had to move with her. The extra 20 minutes on our drive to get there didn't matter. My kids enjoy going to see her, always. (Minus any shots :)
