Philosophy of care | I feel privileged to be in a specialty that not only heals patients, but also and more importantly adds quality back into their lives. This “quality” is not only achieved by medications, procedures and forming healthy habits; it requires belief from both the patient and clinician through mutual respect and trust. My background as a former athlete, coach and teacher allows me to adapt to each unique patient, plan a path for success and motivate them along the way to a more functional and independent life. | Why I entered medicine | I forged my own path into the medical field, as I had no health care workers in my family growing up. However, I did have plenty of teachers, counselors and social workers around me, and that led to a passion for helping others. Combined with my interest in the way we move and function, it ultimately guided me to becoming a physician. | Personal interests | My biggest passions in life include playing and watching sports (golf, basketball, baseball, hockey and tennis), working out, cooking, reading and playing piano. I am also very family oriented and love spending time with family and friends. | Image | Lehigh Valley Hospital is ranked 25th in the country for orthopedic care on the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list.
