About

Philosophy of care

Compassionate, patient-centered care is the foundation of my practice. I strive to build trust through open communication and provide thoughtful, individualized treatment with empathy, respect and surgical excellence.

Why I entered medicine

Helping people when they are at their most vulnerable and making a difference in their lives is why I chose medicine. Surgery allows me to build meaningful relationships with patients while combining problem-solving and technical skill. My clinical interests include global surgery, pediatric transplantation and the implementation of robotics in transplant.

Community involvement

Promoting organ donation and honoring donors and their families is an important part of my work. I am also committed to bringing the latest surgical advancements to the Lehigh Valley to improve patient care in the community.

Personal interests

I enjoy traveling, hiking, trying new food and spending time with family and friends. I especially value the outdoors and exploring new places whenever I can.
