About

Philosophy of care

My philosophy is to provide outstanding anesthesia care to children and adults − compassionate and professional care involving the most current drugs and technologies in a team approach.

Why I entered medicine

I have always enjoyed helping others and challenging myself to solve difficult problems. I also enjoy working with my hands and learning new techniques.

Community involvement

My wife (who also is in the anesthesia field) and I go on medical missions within and outside the U.S. to care for underprivileged and impoverished children in need of surgery. I work with Temple University and Shriners Hospital for Children at the Philadelphia Zoo's annual medical outings.

Personal interests

I really enjoy both ballroom dancing and cooking. My wife and I also like to travel and explore the cultures of countries overseas.
