About

Philosophy of care

My goal is providing the patient with the highest quality surgical and non-surgical care using the most current methods and delivering it in a clear and efficient manner. I also follow the Jesuit teaching tradition of cura personalis, a Latin phrase meaning “care for the whole person.”

Why I entered medicine

I was inspired to become a doctor by my late uncle, a general surgeon at Pocono Medical Center who dedicated his life to providing first-class care to patients for 35 years in the Poconos and the Lehigh Valley. My first exposure to orthopedic surgery came during medical school at Georgetown University, and it immediately became the only thing I could see myself doing.

Community involvement

I support St. Ann’s Shrine and Basilica, Saint Francis of Assisi Kitchen, American Cancer Society, Feeding America, Humane Society of North America, and Alzheimer’s Research Foundation. I currently am the team doctor for Dunmore High School football team and have spent seasons with Abington Heights football team as well as Lackawanna College.

Personal interests

When I am not working I spend time with my wife and our young son after getting a workout in on the Peloton. We enjoy the South Jersey Shore and traveling. I am a car and motorsports enthusiast, "Will talk cars with anyone." A fun fact is that I have seen Bruce Springsteen 24 times and counting.
