PA means "Professional Association." It means that all owners of the business are professionally certified by the state body governing that profession. CPA's attorneys and doctors often form P.A.'s.

PA means Physician Assistant. It means that the Doctor is working hand in hand with other Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) to provide a complete, allied health care system for a patient. To find out if a physician is board certified contact your local bar or local board.
