    Philosophy of care | My experience as a patient allows me to put myself in my patients’ shoes. I think about what they’re going through and try to answer all of their questions before they even ask. I’m passionate about getting people back to doing what they want to do, whether it’s going back to work, golfing or playing with their grandchildren. It’s rewarding to improve a patient’s quality of life. | Why I entered medicine | Members of my family are physicians, and I was an EMT in college. However, I was inspired to become a physiatrist when I had a tumor removed from my leg. The surgery led to nerve problems that affected my ability do everyday activities, like getting in and out of a chair. I believe these functional issues are often overlooked in medicine, and as a physiatrist, they are the things I address for my patients. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time outdoors. I go to parks, bike and ski. My best times are the ones I share with my family, especially my daughter and son. | 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. |. Dr. Kalola is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Chronic Pain. He is also highly rated in 7 other conditions, according to our data.

    Philosophy of care | I love the one-to-one connection with the patient. It’s everything in family medicine, as far as I’m concerned.

I even used to dress up as a doctor on Halloween. I developed my interest from my pediatrician. There was a real comfort level in his office. I was pretty much interested in everything medical ever since. I can still remember looking at dissections of a frog in my encyclopedia over and over again. | Community involvement | I participated in the Valley Preferred Tour de Hershey, a bike ride to raise money for childhood cancer. I also contribute to the local dog park in Allentown. | Personal interests | In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Scarlett; enjoying the company of my wife, family and friends; making wine; playing sports; reading books; hiking and eating! I'm also a fan of Philadelphia sports teams. Dr. Sperrazza is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Chronic Pain.

    Philosophy of care | My goal is to prevent disease and treat existing conditions while improving your quality of life. I also believe in a whole-person approach to care because your quality of life is much more than a diagnosis – it includes your passions, family, friends, mental and physical health, as well as your future goals. I believe that by collaborating and working together, we can help you achieve your goals and improve your wellness. I am particularly interested in the dynamic interactions between family members and how to help families grow healthy and strong together. | Why I entered medicine | Very early in my life as a mother, I witnessed the powerful impact that physicians play in the experience of life and death for their patients. It inspired me to become a doctor so that I could positively impact lives around me. Also, I knew that whatever profession I pursued, I wanted to both provide an example of service to my young children, and feel that time spent away from them was contributing to something greater than myself. | Community involvement | I spend time volunteering and contributing to local family wellness. I do this through fund/resource raising for local charities, volunteering my time in parenting support classes, working with local diaper banks, and visiting elementary schools to teach children about wellness. | Personal interests | My husband and I are blessed to have three sons ranging from toddler to teenager. Much of my personal time is spent with them, growing our lives in the Lehigh Valley and making family memories.

    Philosophy of care | I want to help people live their best life. | Why I entered medicine | My family comes from a combination of cultures. I was raised near the Venezuelan-Columbian border, and the exposure to this environment, with limited medical services, inspired me to work in improving access to health care to the area's inhabitants. Due to the political environment in Venezuela, I later chose to move to a country that cherishes freedom. | Personal interests | I enjoy my family, reading history, languages, swimming, scuba diving and playing tennis.

    Philosophy of care | I like to gab with my patients. Good medicine takes time. Each individual is extraordinarily complex. You have a spirit, a personality, societal pressures - all these different factors play a role in a person's health. I try to account for all of it. I think there's an extraordinary untapped potential in the therapeutic value of the patient-physician relationship. I look to release the power of that relationship. In casual conversation, you can learn a lot about someone and share something about yourself. A better relationship means better care for the patient. I'm interested in preventive care – diet, sleep, alcohol, smoking and cancer prevention. For a person to change his or her personal way of life is one of the most difficult things. I ask my patients if they're ready, and then I go as far as I can with them and give them the resources they need. | Why I entered medicine | I was a professional musician – a guitarist. But I soon discovered I was not so musical! I was only able to go so far. Medicine is a DeHoff family tradition. There are medical diplomas in my family going back to the Civil War: my father, my grandfather and my great-great-grandfather - this goes way back! It's a very important role to play in people's lives. It's more mainstream and more stable than my music career. It also has more opportunities to help people. | Community involvement | I sometimes perform jazz guitar in the Lehigh Valley. | Personal interests | I like a simple life and enjoying the moments of every day. My wife sells old and rare books. We enjoy hunting for books together at book stores and yard sales. Over the years, I have been assembling a comprehensive collection of books on medical history. I also enjoy collecting vinyl records, mostly American jazz records, and playing jazz guitar. Dr. Dehoff is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Chronic Pain. He is also highly rated in 5 other conditions, according to our data. His clinical expertise encompasses Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young, Hypertension, and Glucocorticoid-Remediable Aldosteronism. Dr. Dehoff is board certified in American Board Of Internal Medicine - Internal Medicine.

    What is the definition of Chronic Pain?

    Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists for more than three months, in contrast to acute pain which is limited. Chronic pain may be the result of injury, infection, or chronic disease and can manifest as low back pain, migraines, arthritis, neuralgias or neurological diseases affecting various nerves, cancer, and even psychogenic pain where no physical cause can be found. Chronic pain more commonly affects older adults and can be unrelenting (without relief) or intermittent (continuing to come and go).

    When should I see a Chronic Pain doctor near Allentown, PA?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Chronic Pain doctor near Allentown, PA?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Chronic Pain doctors near Allentown, PA?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Chronic Pain doctors near Allentown, PA?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Chronic Pain doctor near Allentown, PA?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Chronic Pain doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Chronic Pain doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Chronic Pain doctor near Allentown, PA?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Chronic Pain doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Chronic Pain doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Chronic Pain doctors near Allentown, PA?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Chronic Pain doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Chronic Pain doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Chronic Pain doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
