We are excited to announce that Dr. Shant Parseghian, Endocrinologist, will be extending his practice in Salem. He will be seeing patients in Salem on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at our 331 Highland Avenue office and on Fridays at our 400 Highland Avenue office (see full schedule and locations).
North Shore Physicians Group has extended Dr. Parseghian's practice in order to meet the needs and demands of endocrinology patients in Salem and in the surrounding communities. Our current Endocrinologist at 331 Highland Avenue, Dr. Rick Fisher, is retiring on December 30th. We expect that Dr. Parseghian will help fill this gap, and will continue to be available to provide care to all NSPG patients at any of his practice locations.
