About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy is to treat patients like you would like to be treated. I strive to give my patients ample time to discuss all of their issues and make sure that when they leave their visit, their disease, their plan and their potential courses of action are clear.
Also, I am a member of the genitourinary cancer multidisciplinary consultation team. Together we review your diagnostic information and give you a written opinion reflecting the scope of your condition and recommendations for your best course of care.
Why I entered medicine
I entered medicine to make a difference in the lives of people suffering from disease both clinically and through research of novel concepts, devices and medications.
Community involvement
I am a member of the Leonard Pool Society, a philanthropic group for Lehigh Valley Health Network. I am also involved in organizing community information and screenings for urology.
Personal interests
I enjoy spending time with my family, rowing and participating in most water sports.
