Philosophy of care | My philosophy of medicine encompasses a comprehensive approach. I like my patients to take an active role in their health care and allow me the privilege of helping them make the best decisions for them. Patients don’t fit a mold. They are unique. Getting to know them and their loved ones is the best way for me to gain insights into their specific needs and concerns, and allows me to help them achieve their individual goals. I treat patients using both conventional medicine and osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) when appropriate. OMT is an additional practice I learned in medical school that connects the musculoskeletal system to systemic and localized disease, including everything from chronic aches and pains to more acute illnesses such as sinusitis and ear infections. | Why I entered medicine | I chose medicine to help patients travel through life making the best choices for their health and well-being. I find it empowering and intimate to be able to positively impact a patient’s life. It’s not something everyone gets to do, and I don’t take this privilege for granted. I continually learn from my patients so I can keep providing the best care possible. | Community involvement | Throughout college I participated in volunteer spring breaks. This included disaster relief after Hurricane Katrina helping victims in Texas and Mississippi. I was also involved in many Habitat for Humanity projects. | Currently, I’m involved with the Jim Thorpers bicycle team, which rides yearly in the Tour de Shore Charity Ride from Philadelphia to Atlantic City to raise donations for families of fallen first responders. | Personal interests | Growing up in Palmerton, Pa., I’ve always been a fan of the outdoors. A majority of my family and friends from high school still live in the area, and I return home regularly to see them. For the past year, friends in the Center Valley, Pa.-area have included me in a lot of their fitness endeavors. I recently completed my first half-marathon and will be running a second one in a few months. When I’m not outdoors, I’m enjoying local music and visiting a lot of the attractions in the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton area.
