About
Philosophy of care
I believe in a multi-disciplinary treatment approach centered around the individual patient with the goal of improving one's quality of life and function. I provide comprehensive, non-operative spine and musculoskeletal care.
Why I entered medicine
I have always been interested in the function of the human body, but it was coursework in my undergraduate studies that led me to pursue a career in medicine.
Community involvement
I am president of the Luzerne County Medical Society and participate in both physician and patient educational activities through community events.
Personal interests
I enjoy spending free time with my wife and children.
