About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy centers on a holistic approach, emphasizing treatment of the "whole person" rather than just isolated foot and ankle issues. I prioritize understanding your individual needs and goals, focusing on relieving pain and restoring function. Committed to evidence-based practice, I stay current with the latest research and utilize proven treatments. Ultimately, my aim is to provide comprehensive and compassionate care that significantly improves your quality of life.
Why I entered medicine
My decision to pursue podiatric medicine stems from a deep desire to alleviate pain and restore functionality, enabling patients to reclaim their lives. My commitment to using advanced treatments, including regenerative medicine and minimally invasive surgery, reflects a dedication to providing the most effective and up-to-date care.
Community involvement
I support the Pocono Mountains Community Fundraiser and the Pocono Chamber of Commerce.
Personal interests
I enjoy a dynamic blend of outdoor activities and cultural experiences, including fishing in the Poconos' abundant waterways, biking and running along scenic trails, maintaining fitness through diverse exercise, exploring the local music scene, participating in soccer, venturing on regional travels and indulging in the area's culinary offerings. The Poconos region, and Stroudsburg specifically, provides ample opportunities to engage in these passions, from the natural beauty of the Delaware Water Gap to the diverse entertainment and available food options.
