Overview
Philosophy of care | My philosophy is doing what’s best for you and keeping you as informed as possible about your health care to reach the best outcome. | Why I entered medicine | As a child and young adult I looked up to a lot of people in the medical field and that made a big impression on me. I enjoyed the sciences from an early age and, when the time came, decided to apply those skills to the field of medicine. I also knew I wanted to practice in a community setting in Pennsylvania like my father and grandfather did before me. | Community involvement | Most of my volunteer work has been with area youth organizations. I have been president and administrative official of the local YMCA swim team for seven years. I volunteer and assist in the organization of multiple charity races and triathlons that benefit the community. | Personal interests | I spend free time cycling, running, swimming, skiing, water skiing, fishing, hunting and pretty much anything outdoors. But my focus now is my family, their interests and future.

Philosophy of care | I believe in giving each patient time to explain their problem and then working with them to find safe, effective solutions. Informative and comprehensive discussions with my patients, plus quality care, yields long-lasting and trusting relationships. | Why I entered medicine | I always felt my role in life was to help others. Growing up with a physician father, I experienced the satisfaction being a doctor gave him and I wanted the same for myself. | Community involvement | I organize and run school fundraisers and charity programs. During the holiday season, I volunteer with meal delivery. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my two children, watching my daughter play volleyball and hearing her sing in an a cappella group at school. I spend time cycling and exercising in my time off. I am also very lucky to have many family members in the area.
