Philosophy of care | My philosophy is to utilize state-of-the-art knowledge and care in a compassionate manner to treat the whole patient (body, mind and spirit). I picture myself as a motivator of patients for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. I feel strongly about the use of exercise and diet to support appropriate medical and therapeutic modalities and to help people live longer and have more fulfilling lives. As for the use of medication, my philosophy is to not be the first and to not be the last. I understand the financial strains of our population and prescribe generic drugs when ever possible. | Why I entered medicine | I had an interest in science and interacting with and helping people. My interest began in 10th grade biology at Liberty High School. I've always enjoyed interacting with people socially, on the athletic field and academically. I especially enjoy interacting with the patients of the Lehigh Valley where my roots are. I enjoy discussing all aspects of people's lives, which helps me to better treat the whole person. | Community involvement | I coached basketball and baseball for 15 years while my four children were involved in the Northeast Little League and Liberty High School sports programs. My wife and I are members of the First Presbyterian Church in Bethlehem.

Philosophy of care | I’m a primary care physician, so I treat the patient as a whole and address all needs, whether physical, mental or social. Specialists such as cardiologists may specifically treat the heart, or pulmonologists may treat the lungs. Primary care physicians treat the whole body from top to bottom.

I enjoy what I do because I like to help patients and prevent diseases before they start. | Why I entered medicine | I wanted to help people and I like to interact face-to-face, so I always had a passion for medicine. It’s rewarding to help someone directly with my skills, mind and know-how, so to speak. And I like the long-term relationships that come with primary care. I treat people from ages 16 to 90 or even 100, and I get to know their families and kids. It’s very rewarding to take care of entire families. | Community involvement | I sing in a church choir and am involved in church life. I like to sing and enjoy music in general. | Personal interests | I enjoy skiing in winter and playing soccer in summer. I belong to a recreational soccer league of people above 40.

Philosophy of care | As a family physician, it’s important to develop relationships with patients. I see the full spectrum from early childhood, to adult, to end of life, and you need to take in the entire scope when caring for each patient. The family impacts each individual, and since I take care of the whole family, if the husband smokes, I can’t treat the wife without treating the husband! I take a holistic approach to getting everyone healthy. I like partnering with people and their families to establish healthy goals and lifestyles to prevent problems later on – and of course taking care of them if something does happen, establishing realistic expectations about problems and what treatments can accomplish. | Why I entered medicine | Ever since I was little, I wanted to go into medicine. It all boils down to helping people, and I felt medicine was the way I could do that. Entering medical school, I knew that I wanted to focus on Family Medicine and my experience doing medical rotations solidified my career path. I wanted to be the doctor who people saw for the holistic management of their well-being and I wanted to establish relationships with patients of all age groups. | Community involvement | I enjoy working with medical students from local universities as a mentor and teacher. I enjoy guiding future doctors and nurse practitioners with my personal style of medicine. | Personal interests | I love music and try to keep active and healthy. I also like to travel and cook.
