Philosophy of care | I offer you patient-oriented and outpatient-focused high-quality cardiovascular care. | Why I entered medicine | I got into medicine to help solve cardiovascular problems for patients. This brings better health and peace of mind for patients and is very satisfying for me. | Community involvement | I help provide care to those in homeless shelters through DeSales University’s physician assistant program in Allentown. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with family, playing tennis, bike riding and golfing. Dr. Pandey is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hypertension.

Philosophy of care | Everything we do can affect our cardiovascular health. So me treating you is about more than medicine and potential procedures. It’s about how you live your life, your ability to deal with stress, what you eat and how much you exercise, and the quality of your personal relationships. All of it can affect heart health. Getting to know you as my patient is really important. | Why I entered medicine | I have an audio recording of me as a 3-year-old saying I wanted to be a doctor just like my dad. He’s a retired cardiologist and I found out what a wonderful job this was by watching him take care of people over the years. I never considered doing anything else. | Personal interests | I enjoy watching the Eagles during football season, going for long walks, meditation and just spending time with family and friends. Recently, I’ve become involved with personal and professional acupuncture training, learning how I can apply it to cardiovascular disease. Dr. Olex is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hypertension. His top areas of expertise are Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF), Heart Failure, Pulmonary Edema, and Atrial Fibrillation.

Philosophy of care | My approach is built on a simple premise: partnership. When you step into my office, we begin by thoroughly understanding your unique medical history and health landscape. My goal is to work collaboratively with you, serving as an active guide on your health journey. | I believe in integrating targeted lifestyle modifications into every treatment plan, as these tools are essential for achieving better overall health and sustainable results. Ultimately, I am here to provide the expertise, tools, and personalized strategy you need to achieve your goals and significantly improve your quality of life. | Why I entered medicine | From an early age, I was drawn to the field of medicine. My academic success and deep interest in the sciences, particularly human physiology, fueled my desire to apply this knowledge to directly benefit others. The practice of medicine has proven to be a profoundly rewarding career path. After a period in Family Medicine, I transitioned to Obesity Medicine. This specialty choice was deeply personal and professionally motivated: having successfully managed my own significant weight loss—nearly 100 pounds—through medical management, I am uniquely positioned to guide and empower patients to achieve their health goals in this specialized area. | Community involvement | I am a member of the Obesity Medicine Association (OMA), The Obesity Society (TOS), American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), American Osteopathic Association (AOA), Pennsylvania Osteopathic Medical Association (POMA), and Association of Family Medicine Residency Directors (AFMRD). | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, watching movies, and spending time at the beach. Dr. Doran is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hypertension. His top areas of expertise are Hypertension, Obesity in Children, Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), and Obesity.

Philosophy of care | I apply evidence-based medicine to provide primary care that treats existing problems, prevents future issues and uncovers health risks. I firmly believe the best care is prevention. During the opioid crisis I gained experience managing substance use disorders as well as treating and preventing infectious diseases. My goal is helping patients better manage chronic conditions, prevent complications and hospitalizations, and establish healthier habits using all applicable therapies. | Why I entered medicine | Our large family valued health and work. One of my sisters was a nurse, and I watched her help our family, neighbors and in the clinic with her expertise and skills. That impressed me tremendously and gave me the impetus to pursue a medical career. It gives me a great satisfaction to help others in an immediate and concrete way, and to walk with them on their journey to healing. | Community involvement | My family and I just moved from New York, where I worked the past 30 years. I am looking forward to being involved in the community regarding environmental conservation and habitat preservation.

Philosophy of care | As an athlete growing up, teamwork has always been a huge facet of my life. This is no different in medicine, not just with staff but also with each and every patient. My philosophy has always been to work alongside you to help you with any illness or injury. I have also learned that it is extremely important to truly allow time for listening, as doing just this will solve many diagnoses. By working together, it is fascinating how much progress we can make. | Why I entered medicine | My dream ever since I was a little girl was to become a physician. I have always been very service-oriented, and being able to help others in need really allows me to find my purpose. I also consider myself a lifelong learner, and in the field of medicine, it is a necessity to be able to keep up-to-date with all of the fast-paced changes that constantly occur. | Community involvement | I have been very active in the community serving both at the local fire company and ambulance station. I have been an active member at South Cass Citizens’ Fire Company (Primrose) and Minersville EMS for the past 15 years. Fire and EMS calls provide a much different environment compared to a controlled office or hospital setting, and they allow me to be involved in the initial stabilization and treatment of patients on some of their worst days with the hope of making things better. I am also a lector at Saint Michael the Archangel Parish in Minersville. | Personal interests | I have what I consider to be a second career as a soldier in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. I am currently a Captain in the Medical Detachment at Fort Indiantown Gap in Annville, Pa. My dream growing up has always been to serve both my country and community, and this opportunity allows me to do just that. | My family is certainly the most important part of my life. They have been by my side through all of the ups and downs, always there to encourage me when I had doubt. Without them, I would not be where I am today, and for them, I am and will always be truly thankful. | In my spare time, I enjoy exercising often (I use this as my stress reliever), and of course making up for lost calories by eating ice cream!.
