About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy is to treat you with the same quality of care, compassion and respect I would want for my own family. My goal is to work collaboratively to make you feel included in medical decision-making and in directing your care.
Why I entered medicine
I entered medicine because of my love for learning. As a physician assistant, I will be a lifelong learner not only in the field of medicine, but also in people. I have the unique opportunity to learn the best ways to connect with you and your family, to advocate compassionately for your best interests, and to make the sometimes scary world of medicine more manageable and understandable for you and your loved ones.
Community involvement
In college I volunteered at the DeSales Free Clinic, which provided free health care evaluations and maintenance to the homeless men of the Allentown Rescue Mission. I worked alongside other students and volunteer preceptors to expand my medical knowledge and provide quality care. I hope to continue to give back to the community in similar ways during my career.
Personal interests
I enjoy trying new recipes, reading a good book, spending time with my family and making people roll their eyes at so-terrible-they're-good puns.

What is a Care Team?
Your LVPG Urology care team works together to address your unique needs and ensure you always get the best care at the right time through a Center of Excellence approach. This team includes your physician and advanced practice clinicians (APCs) such as physician assistants, nurse practitioners and specialized registered nurses. APCs receive advanced training and routinely work alongside your physician, building expertise in areas of specialization with the four Centers of Excellence including men’s health, women’s health, stone-related disease and urologic oncology. Your care team will work with you to design a plan that effectively addresses your medical concerns.

Comments
"Overall great experience with everyone at the office."
"Friendliest group of individuals! Made going to the doctor a less anxious experience. Upcoming surgery was discussed in detail and all questions were addressed :)"
"I've worked with many healthcare practitioners over the years, and James stands out as one of the very best. He's bright, informative, and attentive-and above all, I can tell that he genuinely cares. Every visit with James feels personal and unrushed. He takes the time to explain things clearly and listens carefully to my questions and concerns. I always leave feeling confident about the care I'm receiving. Simply put, I'm a raving fan. I'm also impressed with the quality of the staff at this practice, as well. This was my first time with [redacted]. She's extraodinary! And I love [redacted] at the front desk. Well done to all of you!"
