Experienced in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Experienced in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Overview

Philosophy of care | I prefer to keep things simple and easy, treating patients as I would like to be treated. I listen to what the patient is telling me. I explain the diagnosis and treatment options as clearly and succinctly as possible so my patients can make informed decisions about their care. I stick with what works best for me and my patients in the office and in surgery, always wanting the best outcome possible. | Why I entered medicine | It was easy for me to follow my father, a well-respected obstetrician/gynecologist, into a medical career. I wanted to combine my love of sports and interest in how an athlete was able to return to play after a devastating injury by becoming a sports medicine doctor. I envisioned myself as the team doctor running onto the field to tend to the stricken athlete; now, it's a reality. | Community involvement | I'm involved with the Maimonides Society of the Lehigh Valley, the Lehigh Valley Dawgs (minor league basketball) and multiple charitable donations and endeavors. I also serve as a radio talk show sports injury consultant, an assistant team physician at Central Catholic High School and an orthopedic surgeon for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (Philadelphia Flyers' AHL affiliate). I previously served as team physician for the Allentown Ambassadors (minor league baseball). | Personal interests | In my free time I enjoy golf, bicycling, ice hockey, collecting sports memorabilia, learning Italian and being with my family. | 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. |.
