About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy is one of teamwork and patient autonomy. I work with patients to develop the best treatment plan, taking into account their desires and needs. Every person and every situation is different, and I believe in the power of listening and learning about the whole person to promote health and wellness.
Why I entered medicine
At an early age I saw the importance of trusting and being comfortable with one's doctor. It is truly a privilege to work in the medical field, and allows me to provide the best care I can to patients, especially in vulnerable times.
Community involvement
I am the primary care sports medicine physician for Lehigh University.
Personal interests
I love being outdoors and active, whether walking, hiking, or playing sports. I enjoy time with my family and attending the Lehigh Valley's many events and festivals.
