Jesse Alfiero, PA-C

Jesse grew up in Polson, where he met his wife, Madison, in his senior year of high school. His father, Rob, has worked as a PA for over 36 years, but Jesse never really knew what the job entailed. Jesse’s Biology major included Anatomy & Physiology courses, where he went on to TA then teach at the cadaver lab. His instructor at the time encouraged him to consider a career as a PA and, after shadowing his father and a few other PAs at St. Luke, Jesse decided to pursue that path. He worked for a few years as a Phlebotomist and was then accepted to a university in south Texas. After graduating, he was excited to return to his home state and work directly with St. Luke General Surgeon, Dr. Zach Hovorka.

Jesse completed a Capstone Specialty in Orthopedics during his PA training but is interested in all types of surgeries. He enjoys the mix between surgery and clinic that Dr. Hovorka’s practice has to offer. Jesse is eager to re-join the Polson and Ronan communities and get involved in volunteer work as time allows. His wife works as a grant writer for CASA and the couple looks forward to getting back to their Montana hobbies, including fly fishing, biking, hiking, and traveling.
