About

Philosophy of care

I recommend conservative treatments before turning to surgery. I strive to get my patients on their feet and returning to pain-free ambulation in a timely fashion. I am an avid runner, and I understand the desire to return to activity quickly.

Why I entered medicine

I entered medicine to help people maintain an active lifestyle and quality of life. Podiatry was a good fit for me to treat people preventatively and also provide a surgical option when needed.

Community involvement

I am a member of the Muhlenberg College Board of Associates. I volunteer at St. Joseph the Worker School. I participate in and sponsor various charity runs and events in the Lehigh Valley. Our practice has an active rotation of medical residents and physician assistant students to mentor in their training.

Personal interests

I enjoy running, spending time with my three children and volunteering at St. Joseph the Worker School.
