Overview
Philosophy of care | Treatment of my patients mirrors the osteopathic philosophy of treating the patient as a whole. Considerations must be made to a patient’s physical, mental and social situations to arrive at the best course of treatment and therefore the best possible outcome. | Why I entered medicine | Humans are inherently mobile creatures. Millions of years of adaptations to our environment have given us the ability to survive in the natural world. When we can’t move well, we become sick with chronic diseases and eventually succumb. I entered medicine with an interest only in orthopedic surgery. Preserving each patient’s ability to be mobile, to move and to experience the world without pain is my ultimate goal. | Community involvement | Over the years I have been involved with or supported multiple charities in the greater Hazleton area and abroad. Some include the Hazleton Integration Project, CanDo Community Foundation, Penn State University Hazleton Campus, United Charities, the Sanfilipo Foundation, Dancing with the Delaware Stars, Pennsylvania State Police and others. | Personal interests | I like being outdoors (hunting and fishing), youth athletics, anything with an engine, food and travel. | 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. |.

LVPG Orthopedics And Sports Medicine-2775 Muhlenberg
Philosophy of care | Because everyone has unique issues and concerns about their musculoskeletal problem, I spend time learning about what is impacting you and designing a treatment plan to accomplish your goals. I make sure you understand both the details of your condition and the treatments I propose. In this way, we can truly move forward with shared decision-making to achieve an optimal outcome. Educating the next generation of orthopedic surgeons is also a priority of mine; I am leading a team to build a new orthopedic residency training program here at LVHN. | Why I entered medicine | I still remember as a child accompanying my father (an orthopedic surgeon) on his patient rounds. I dreamed of one day helping patients return to the activities they loved just as did. I studied hard, became an EMT, volunteered at a firehouse, worked ski patrol in college and taught the winter care emergency course to my fellow patrollers. In medical school I found orthopedic surgery to be the most exciting path for me, and I have never looked back. I have found immense satisfaction over the years helping patients feel and function better, and am so gratified hearing I have changed their lives for the better. | Community involvement | As the father of two preemies (born 11 weeks early), my wife and I have supported research to investigate the causes of premature birth. We have been on the leadership team for the Philadelphia March of Dimes' annual March for Babies for several years. My daughter has started a non-profit to provide board books to families in the NICU so they can read to their children and enhance their language skills. I also have been an alumni interviewer for my alma mater, Dartmouth College, for over 20 years. | Personal interests | I enjoy skiing, hiking and biking with my wife, daughter and son. I welcome any and all dad jokes and puns. | 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. |.
