Overview
Philosophy of care | Patient education is of the utmost importance and what I take pride in doing. My philosophy is that if you understand your diagnosis, you will be able to make more informed decisions about your treatment, be more engaged in your rehabilitation, and ultimately achieve a better outcome. | Why I entered medicine | I was inspired to enter medicine after my own experience as a yoga teacher triggered a passion to help people improve pain, mobility and quality of life. | Community involvement | I provide educational presentations to the community on various orthopedic topics for all ages, such as bone health and injury prevention. | Personal interests | You can find me spending time with family and friends, practicing yoga, running, hiking and camping. | 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.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy is to treat you as if you are a family member, using proven techniques to provide you the best possible outcome. I go to bed each night knowing I have done my best for my patients. | Why I entered medicine | I got into the medical field to make a difference and contribute in a positive way to those around me. | Community involvement | I am the sports physician for Allentown Central Catholic High School, the medical director of Valley Preferred Cycling Center and a speaker, volunteer and board member at Gift of Life, our region’s amazing transplant organization. | Personal interests | I spend free time with family and enjoy cycling, running and skiing. As a heart transplant recipient I am alive purely because of the generosity of others, and am highly motivated to increase awareness about how organ donation saves lives every day. I believe my experience as a patient allows me to empathize with my patients. I found myself unable to climb a flight of stairs with my heart condition, but worked diligently following my transplant and recently won the world transplant cycling race in Perth, Australia. Orthopedic injuries require a team approach and hard work to return to form, and I feel I am uniquely qualified to help my patients in this journey. | 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.

LVPG Orthopedics And Sports Medicine-2775 Muhlenberg
Philosophy of care | Because everyone has unique issues and concerns about their musculoskeletal problem, I spend time learning about what is impacting you and designing a treatment plan to accomplish your goals. I make sure you understand both the details of your condition and the treatments I propose. In this way, we can truly move forward with shared decision-making to achieve an optimal outcome. Educating the next generation of orthopedic surgeons is also a priority of mine; I am leading a team to build a new orthopedic residency training program here at LVHN. | Why I entered medicine | I still remember as a child accompanying my father (an orthopedic surgeon) on his patient rounds. I dreamed of one day helping patients return to the activities they loved just as did. I studied hard, became an EMT, volunteered at a firehouse, worked ski patrol in college and taught the winter care emergency course to my fellow patrollers. In medical school I found orthopedic surgery to be the most exciting path for me, and I have never looked back. I have found immense satisfaction over the years helping patients feel and function better, and am so gratified hearing I have changed their lives for the better. | Community involvement | As the father of two preemies (born 11 weeks early), my wife and I have supported research to investigate the causes of premature birth. We have been on the leadership team for the Philadelphia March of Dimes' annual March for Babies for several years. My daughter has started a non-profit to provide board books to families in the NICU so they can read to their children and enhance their language skills. I also have been an alumni interviewer for my alma mater, Dartmouth College, for over 20 years. | Personal interests | I enjoy skiing, hiking and biking with my wife, daughter and son. I welcome any and all dad jokes and puns. | 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.
