Philosophy of care | My patients are my family. | Why I entered medicine | I emigrated from Ukraine with my grandmother, who played a significant role in my life. Unfortunately she succumbed to gastrointestinal cancer. But while caring for her at a young age, I experienced medicine from diagnosis to surgical treatment and finally palliative care. The surgeons who took care of her became forever my heroes. I vowed to do the same for those who needed my help. | Community involvement | Stroudsburg has been my home the past seven years. I look forward to having the privilege and opportunity to treat my community at Lehigh Valley Hospital−Pocono. | Personal interests | I am an avid triathlete and enjoy swimming, biking and running. I compete in Ironman triathlons annually, and so far have completed nine in places such as New York, Kentucky, Maryland and Quebec. My downtime is spent relaxing with my wife and our four rescue dogs. Dr. Protyniak is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Encopresis. His top areas of expertise are Encopresis, Bowel Incontinence, Colorectal Cancer, Colostomy, and Colonoscopy.
