Kassandra Jean-Marie

University of Massachusetts T.H. Chan Medical School

I grew up in Methuen, Massachusetts, and earned a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology and Public Health from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I furthered my education at the UMass Chan Medical School, where I was part of the PURCH track, an innovative pathway focused on addressing the healthcare needs of underserved communities.

I am thrilled to be joining the Greenfield family to continue my training as a family physician. My passion for family medicine encompasses a variety of interests, including social determinants of health, immigrant and refugee health, nutrition, infectious diseases, and preventive medicine. I am deeply grateful to be part of a specialty that allows me to engage in such a diverse range of health issues and to serve those who need it most.

Outside of my medical career, I enjoy teaching Zumba, reading dystopian novels, and exploring new cultural cuisines. I am beyond excited to join this amazing residency program and contribute to the well-being of the Greenfield community.

Tomás Reilly

University of Limerick School of Medicine

Hello, my name is Tomás, and I’m originally from Dublin, Ireland. I earned my undergraduate degree in Genetics and Cell Biology from Dublin City University, followed by my medical degree at the University of Limerick.

After completing my studies, I spent four years practicing medicine in Ireland, initially pursuing surgical training. During this time, I gained valuable experience in procedural care. However, my desire to build lasting relationships with patients and address a broader range of health issues inspired me to transition to family medicine, where I am now committed to delivering holistic, patient-centered care.

I’m excited to integrate the skills I developed in surgery to my family medicine practice, with a particular interest in procedural care. I’m also passionate about urology and urogynecology and aim to provide specialized support in these areas, helping patients navigate complex health challenges with empathy and skill.

Outside of medicine, I love staying active and exploring the world around me. I enjoy cycling, swimming, and have recently taken up pickleball, which helps me unwind and stay balanced amidst a busy schedule. Traveling is another passion of mine, as it allows me to experience new cultures and perspectives.

I am thrilled to be joining the new family medicine residency program in Greenfield. This opportunity will allow me to grow both personally and professionally, while contributing to the development of a vibrant and innovative program. I look forward to working alongside a talented team and serving the local community with compassionate, high-quality care.

Saint James School of Medicine

I grew up in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, and attended Trent University, where I was captain of the varsity lacrosse team and earned an Honours Bachelor of Science in Biology. I pursued my medical education on the beautiful island of Anguilla and completed my clinical rotations in McAllen, Texas. In my free time, I enjoy browsing wool shops along the I-91 corridor, knitting cozy sweaters, hiking, reading, and spending time with my cat, Pearl. I’m thrilled to be completing my family medicine residency in the scenic Pioneer Valley, where I’m especially passionate about providing comprehensive care to patients of all ages, with a particular interest in geriatric and palliative care. I look forward to building meaningful, long-term relationships with my patients and becoming an active member of the Greenfield community.

West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine

Originally from NJ, medicine wasn’t my first career, it went from visual arts/photography and postproduction work to IT, to manufacturing and retail, just to name a few! I didn’t find my passion until working in an urgent care and realizing that it was where I needed to be. I moved to WV for medical school from Long Island NY, there I found a love of working in a rural setting- especially with substance use disorder and gender affirming care. I’m a very firm believer that it is never too late to change your life, especially when it helps someone to be their best, most authentic self.

I moved up here with my fiancé (Garrett), our two cats (Princess and Sudan), and plenty of house plants. I love crafting, gardening, hiking, staying physically active, and tabletop (and even some live action) RPGs.

Southern Illinois University School of Medicine

I was born and raised in Belleville, IL just across the Mississippi river from St. Louis, where I attended St. Louis University, graduating in 2019 with degrees in biology and mathematics. It was during my time in the city that I discovered my passion for helping others, which led me to pursuing a career in family medicine. I studied at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine where I enjoyed learning to care for rural and underserved communities. I’m thrilled to continue my training in Greenfield where I’ll be closer to my partner, Laura, who’s studying law in Boston. Outside of medicine, I love nature and animals and am looking forward to exploring the trails around Western Massachusetts. Also, as a huge sports fan coming from St. Louis, I’m excited to be surrounded by the historic sports culture of New England.

St. George's University School of Medicine

I grew up in Ashland, Massachusetts and completed my undergraduate degree at Brandeis University in Waltham before moving to the beautiful island of Grenada for medical school. In my free time I enjoy playing ultimate frisbee, hiking, and camping. Over the past few years, I have also gotten really into board games, my favorites being Gloomhaven and Terra Mystica. I am passionate about combining medicine and lifestyle modifications to help people live their healthiest and most fulfilling lives. I am over the moon at the opportunity to continue my training in my home state, close to my loved ones in the gorgeous backdrop of Western Massachusetts.

Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine

My name is Sean Pazurchek, and I am ecstatic to be joining the Greenfield Family Medicine residency in June 2023. I am originally from Wrentham, MA and received my bachelor's in biochemistry and molecular biology from Brown University. After working as a medical assistant for two years, I pursued my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and Master's of Public Health at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie, PA. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my girlfriend, Sarah, and Cavapoo therapy dog, Boulder. You will likely find me exploring new places, checking out local microbreweries and craft beers, reading a good book, or perhaps baking desserts in the kitchen. I am extremely grateful to be joining this residency and look forward to meeting you!

UMass Chan Medical School

Originally from Canton, MA, I graduated from Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, PA and worked as a research assistant in Boston before attending medical school at UMass Chan. My interest in family medicine began while working for a study called Project Viva, which focused on the longitudinal health of mothers and their children. It was the ability to work with a family unit and witness the long-term relationship with the study that made me interested in the specialty. My other medical interests include geriatric medicine, palliative care, and medical ethics. Outside of medicine, I love to hike, cook new recipes using local ingredients, collect vinyl records, and attend music festivals, especially the Newport Folk Festival. I am thrilled to relocate to Greenfield and work with the community to provide effective and humanistic primary care.

Daniel Albrecht MD

Drexel University College of Medicine 

I was born in Holyoke MA and graduated from University of Massachusetts Amherst with a BS in Chemistry. I worked as an EMT in Springfield, Northampton and Chicopee where I found how much I enjoyed working with patients. I decided to pursue a career in Medicine and was accepted at Drexel's College of Medicine in Philadelphia. I am eager to come back home, closer to my family and work in the communities I am most familiar. I have a particular passion for issues around depression and anxiety, substance use, women's health and lifestyle interventions for chronic health problems. I chose to pursue family medicine because I want to have a comprehensive view of care and the ability to form long-lasting partnerships with my patients.

Dr Rachel Anderson

Rachel Anderson MD

UMass T.H. Chan School of Medicine 

Born and raised in Norton, MA, I was thrilled to return home to attend medical school at UMass Chan after spending my undergraduate years at theUniversity of Alabama. During medical school, I met my fiancé (and co-resident!), John, and adopted our adorable cat, Moe. We love being outdoors and spend most our free time camping, birding, hiking, and checking out local breweries. I also love crafts of all kinds, cooking food for nearly any occasion, and watching as much football as I possibly can (Roll Tide and Go Pats!). Over the past 4 years, I have been a passionate advocate for equitable access to cervical cancer prevention and for improved care for human trafficking survivors. I am thrilled to be continuing my training in the beautiful Pioneer Valley and getting to know and provide care for the local community.

Dr John Romano

John Romano MD

UMass T.H. Chan School of Medicine 

I graduated from UMass Chan Medical School in 2022 and was lucky enough to meet my fiancé and fellow member of the Greenfield Family Medicine Residency inaugural class—Rachel Anderson—while there! In medical school, I became deeply invested in our local free clinics by helping them fundraise and transition from paper records to an electronic medical record. Music is another passion of mine, and I was fortunate to find a band to play with called Newport Ave in which I played drums and saxophone. I also became an avid birder during 4th year—Rachel and I have logged over 130 species so far on our life list! We keep another life list for the breweries we’ve visited together, though not quite as long. I look forward to settling into Greenfield with Rachel and becoming community-focused family medicine physicians together!
