About
Philosophy of care
I treat patients as family or friends, putting their health interests first and working with them toward the best outcome.
Why I entered medicine
I have a passion for providing comprehensive care to patients of all ages and backgrounds. I value the importance of building long-term relationships with patients. Family medicine provides the opportunity to treat a variety of conditions, leading to continuous learning and professional development. I enjoy interacting with families regularly and at every stage of their lives.
Community involvement
I work with the Reading-based Olivet Boys & Girls Club to raise money. I am also a member at New Ridge Fellowship church in Gilbertsville, helping teens who participate in mission trips.
Personal interests
I enjoy time with my own family and engaging in fitness programs.
