Overview
Philosophy of care | I strive to develop a professional relationship with my patients and explain the diagnosis and treatment of their illness as we collaborate on a care plan. I discuss the risks and benefits of procedures and medications so they understand their chronic illness and prognosis. It's also important patients have a say in any changes in the plan of care. I try to anticipate their needs and get other services involved to keep them at home and out of the hospital. | Why I entered medicine | I served in the Peace Corps in Ghana, West Africa. I saw how much community members cared for each other, especially for the sick and elderly, but there was insufficient medical resources or knowledge to make an impact. When I got back to the U.S., I worked very hard to get into medical school. Throughout my postgraduate medical training I was fortunate to have mentors and experiences that exposed me to a wide variety of patients. I am very grateful to give back to my hometown community. | Community involvement | I am a member of the St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Red Hill, Montgomery County. | Personal interests | I am an avid Formula 1, Phillies and Liverpool FC fan. I spend my free time with my kids riding ATVs and enjoying the outdoors.

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.
