Overview
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. We support church activities and New Bethany Ministries. | Personal interests | I play golf, go to Eagles games, attend University of Pennsylvania athletic events, run daily and read Revolutionary biographies. My wife and I follow our children closely in their careers and activities.

Philosophy of care | I want to not only provide high quality care for you, but also develop a long-lasting relationship with you and your family. I always treat you as a human being with an ailment, not a patient number, room number or disease process. I always approach the management of my patients with the thought as to what I would want if this was my mother or father, or wife, or children. | Why I entered medicine | During my high school years, my sister fell ill with spinal cord cancer and spent the better part of 2.5 years hospitalized at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. We, being a small family, spent day and night in the hospital with her. It was during this time that I truly became enthralled with the field of medicine. Since I would sleep nights and spent my weekends there, the residents became my friends and began taking me on my rounds and teaching me. This provided the first exposure to practice of medicine. I then went on to medical school and obtained a residency at Columbia University. It was there that I met a wonderful teacher and mentor, Dr. Glenda Garvey, who in turn referred me to Dr. Mark Josephson to learn the field of electrophysiology. I could not have asked for a better education and owe my knowledge of electrophysiology to Dr. Josephson. | Community involvement | I have participated in several medical mission trips to South Africa, Haiti and Nicaragua. | Personal interests | I enjoy music and soccer.
