About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy is to use evidence-based medicine and compassion to guide you toward a better well-being. Through my commitment to inclusive medicine and patient-centered care, I focus on the particular needs and preferences of each patient.
Why I entered medicine
I pursued a career in medicine to be a resource for all individuals after witnessing health care disparities. I have spent my entire career treating the conditions of the heart and think preventive medicine is the most important aspect of well-being. Through a holistic approach, I focus on modifications in nutrition, activity level, daily stressors and social life to improve health conditions.
Community involvement
I have supported the American Association for Cancer Research, the Glens Falls Medical Mission in Guatemala, the DeSales University Free Clinic at Allentown Rescue Mission and the Bridging the Gaps community health internship program at Casa Guadalupe Center in Allentown.
Personal interests
Cooking new recipes, trail running, meditating and time with family and friends are what you can find me doing outside of work.
