Overview

Philosophy of care | I try to present all treatment options to you and then together we can reach a mutual decision as to your best course of treatment. | Why I entered medicine | Prior to becoming an orthopedic surgeon I was a civil engineer. I became an orthopedic surgeon as it allowed me to combine my interests in medicine, engineering and helping my fellow man. What I really enjoy about orthopedics is that most of our patients get better, and many of our patients are cured. | Community involvement | I have served as the president of the Bucks County Medical Society, and also as a delegate to the Pennsylvania Medical Society. | Personal interests | I like to spend time with my family, work on automobiles and enjoy time outdoors. | 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. Our team of more than 200 orthopedic specialists provide award-winning, nationally-recognized care with experience, expertise and leading-edge technology. |.
