"Philosophy of care | To provide my best care for children and families, regardless of who they are, where they are from or what is going on in their lives. I believe every kid in this world deserves access to the best possible care. I have spent the last 16 years practicing inpatient and outpatient complex care pediatrics locally as well as developing global health programs so other countries can improve their quality and access to care. | Why I entered medicine | I wanted to be a doctor from an early age; one of my aunts had surgery and then we watched the same surgery in school.

"Why I entered medicine | My choice to go to medical school seems to have begun long before college and was the result of a very idealistic view of life and a desire to use the gifts God had given me in the most effective way. My career as a pediatrician was really chosen for me. After third-year medical school clinical rotations in family medicine, internal medicine and then pediatrics, my wife said to me, ""You need to be a pediatrician."" She reminded me of one very special 8-year-old patient who was dying of cancer yet who was the patient whom I talked about the most and whom I looked forward to seeing the most each day. After a few minutes of thought, I never looked back. And I've never regretted the decision. | Personal interests | Ideally my faith in God would define me as a person. A few years ago, I wrote up a personal mission statement that encapsulated my broad goals. That statement said that I want to be in a growing and dynamic relationship with God that allows me to be more effective in my roles as a husband, father and physician. My thoughts have not changed in the intervening years. I have a passion for doing things excellently, completely and with compassion. I feel that this is a direct outgrowth of my faith.

"Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is to treat every patient as if they were my own child. I strive to provide high quality, evidence-based care to all of my patients. I listen to both the child (when old enough to relay their concerns) and the parents (who know the child best) and make sure I answer all of their questions and address any concerns they have. I try to engage the child whenever I can and make them an active participant in their health. I work as part of a team including the child, parents, other caregivers, medical sub-specialists, teachers/schools, and others to provide the best care possible. I ensure the parents and child are well-informed about their treatment plan and appropriate follow up is provided. As a pediatrician, a significant portion of the care I provide is preventive care and counseling ensuring children stay safe and healthy. | Why I entered medicine | From the time I was very young, I have wanted to be a doctor. At five years old I began saying ""when I grow up, I’m going to be a baby doctor."" I quickly learned that a ""baby doctor"" was called a pediatrician. As I grew, so did my fascination for the human body and medicine. I volunteered at Lehigh Valley Hospital through high school which reaffirmed my aspirations. I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey to becoming a pediatrician and am very happy with my career choice. | Community involvement | I support many charities that serve children including THON, Penn State University’s student run philanthropy for children with cancer. | Personal interests | As a relatively new mom, I can now say that the thing I enjoy most is spending time with our daughter!

Philosophy of care | I feel that treating the whole patient is very important in medicine. A disease or diagnosis can affect people very differently, so individualized treatment plans are the norm.
