Philosophy of care | I believe patients should be active participants in their own care, but medicine can be a foreign language to many. My role as a physician is to make medicine user-friendly so we can work as a team. | Why I entered medicine | Science was always a passion of mine and I have always loved problem-solving. Becoming a doctor allowed me to use my medical knowledge to help people solve their problems. | Community involvement | I enjoy giving back to my community. I am a member of the Maimonides Society of the Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley (JFLV) and have served as the medical editor for Hakol, the local newspaper for the JFLV. | Personal interests | I have enjoyed training in the martial arts the past 13 years. I also like biking and playing squash. Dr. Lemberg is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Boils. His top areas of expertise are Infant Hearing Loss, DFNB1, Jones Syndrome, and Grass Allergy.
