Philosophy of care | Every patient is different and unique. I like to work with patients as a partner, sitting face to face and talking together. My role is to present various evidence-based treatment options, based on scientific studies. I always encourage patients to ask questions, and I’m there to make sure they understand everything. I’m even happy to write it all down so they can take the information home and think about it. I can’t decide the best treatment for patients by myself, but I can provide options and guidance to help them choose the best care. | Why I entered medicine | My father has diabetes. When I was 15 he started going into a diabetic coma several times a year. The first time it happened, I was at home with my parents where we lived in Taiwan. My mom was crying, so I quickly called my older sister, who is a family doctor in the United States, and asked her what to do. With her help I took his blood pressure, heart rate and checked his blood sugar. I found that I liked caring for my dad and started thinking I’d like to do that for other people someday. But I didn’t really plan to go to medical school until my dad asked one day if I wanted to try. I did, and the rest is history. I’m now helping patients get well and stay healthy, just like I once did for my dad. | Community involvement | I volunteer regularly at my father-in-law’s church in New Jersey. I participate in rummage sales and other fundraisers that support the church community. My other passion is helping animals. I’ve always loved them since I was a child, and my heart cries whenever I see an animal being mistreated. I even thought about becoming a veterinarian before I became a human doctor. I now have two cats that I adopted from a rescue shelter, and I also send regular donations to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). I help whenever I can. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my cats—they’re just like my son and daughter. My husband and I even have a small room in our house just for them, complete with a cat tree and toys. I also love traveling. When I was growing up, my mom took me abroad every vacation. I’ve been to Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Southeast Asia and many other places. I particularly like trying local foods and learning new languages. I speak fluent Chinese and English, plus I know a little Japanese, Korean and Tagalog (spoken in the Philippines). I love to learn new things, and I think seeing many different places and experiencing new cultures has made me a more open person and a better doctor.

Philosophy of care | I practice evidence-based medicine through shared decision making. I take into account your individual and family dynamics to help fulfill your health needs. | Why I entered medicine | I had wanted to become a doctor since I was in first grade. Growing up and seeing my father and family members helping others, I wanted to be in a career where I could also serve families. When I took care of my grandfather who unfortunately had lost his eyesight, he would tell me that the way I took care of him was why I would be a successful doctor. As I grew up, studied diligently to get into medical school. I never thought of any career other than medicine. I believe it's a great privilege to be able to help people when they are at their most vulnerable. | Community involvement | I am working with Imamia Medics International (IMI) NJ, a United Nations–accredited medical organization. We arrange medical camps at the national level and professional guidance seminars for international and national medical graduates.

His top areas of expertise are Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+), Croup, Rotor Syndrome, and Viral Gastroenteritis.

Philosophy of care | I believe strongly in developing relationships with patients. You are unique, and getting to know you helps me develop your best health care plan. Patients who are comfortable with their clinician become better advocates for their own health and health care concerns. | Why I entered medicine | I had the great pleasure of spending an entire summer between my junior and senior college years at a camp for chronically ill children. The children and their wonderful medical staff inspired me to go into medicine. | Community involvement | I have built houses for Habitat for Humanity. I also participate in 5K walks for the American Heart Association and for Breast Cancer Awareness. | Personal interests | I love reading! I am in a book club and look forward to experiencing all types of literature. I also like to run, and have participated in numerous 5K and 10K runs, plus one Sprint Triathlon.

Philosophy of care | I enjoy the one-on-one interaction I receive from treating patients as a family physician and from helping to treat those who may have a sports-related injury. | Why I entered medicine | I have played soccer for most of my life and that involvement spurred my interest in treating sports injuries. | Community involvement | I served as a team physician for Lehigh University from 2012-2016. | Personal interests | When not working, I enjoy staying active and spending time with my three young children.

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. It goes with being an osteopathic doctor, the approach of the human body healing itself and healing the whole body. I'm hard-working, easy to communicate with, and here to help -- whether it be about medicine, the Phillies lineup or just day-to-day life. | Why I entered medicine | I wanted to be a doctor ever since I was young. 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.

Philosophy of care | I think it’s fundamentally important that a solid relationship based on trust be created between myself and patients.  This is accomplished by working in a partnership with the patient to accomplish mutually defined health goals, by treating illnesses and diseases using strategies based on the best evidence, and by ensuring excellent bi-directional communication between myself and patients. | Why I entered medicine | After experiencing numerous injuries and illnesses while growing up, I became deeply familiar with the health care system from the perspective of the patient.  While this generated interest in the role physicians play from direct experience, it also created the desire to give back to others by helping to prevent illnesses and injuries, as well as to manage diseases that arise. | Community involvement | I have had ongoing sponsorship for disadvantaged kids who have suffered burn injuries to enable them to attend a special summer camp through the University of Michigan Burn Center. | Personal interests | I work to maintain my own well-being by spending time with my 20-year-love, Susan, my wonderful 4 kids, extended family and friends (as well as my huge dog, Bo, and multiple other furry and feathered friends).  Together we enjoy family movie nights, ice cream runs (not | every | night!), sporting events, and trips into NYC.  I might periodically also be spotted pounding the pavement on a run or getting muddy on a mountain bike.

I work to help my office and staff provide a superior customer service experience. | Why I entered medicine | I went into medicine because it gives me the opportunity to help others learn how to treat current health problems and prevent future ones. | Personal interests | Outside of medicine I enjoy reading, bicycling, and shooting sports. Dr. Burnham is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Eyelid Bump. His top areas of expertise are Croup, Herpangina, Scarlet Fever, and Pertussis.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is that the outcome of any healthcare decision should be based on relationships, forged of a mutual respect and trust between healthcare provider and patient. My specialty of choice, family medicine, affords me the opportunity to build these relationships with patients and their families. My role as a physician, as I view it, is to help my patients achieve their health and wellness goals physically, emotionally and spiritually. I have chosen to practice family medicine in the town where I live because I feel that it's important to understand how people identify with themselves, and with others, within the community, with their peers, and with their families. | Why I entered medicine | I chose a career in medicine because in addition to possessing a true love of the sciences and a reverence for nature and how the human body works, medicine has afforded me the best opportunity to apply my vocation in a way that is consistent with my personal values. These include helping others in need, and establishing relationships with people within the community which I practice in order to help them attain their healthcare goals physically, emotionally, and even spiritually. | Community involvement | My community involvement generally involves volunteering to help with my sons' sports teams and after school activities. | Personal interests | My personal interests include spending time with my family first and foremost, exercising, cooking, reading and traveling, and I'm an avid Boston Red Sox fan!. Dr. Smith is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Eyelid Bump. His top areas of expertise are Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP), Muscle Spasms, and Eyelid Bump.

Philosophy of care | My main goal is to treat every patient as a person with kindness and respect. I’m passionate about preventative care and educating patients about lifestyle changes that help people live longer, healthier and happier lives. I like to take a holistic approach that includes diet, exercise and helping the body heal itself, as opposed to just using medications. I prescribe them when necessary, but a lot of chronic conditions can be improved or prevented with lifestyle changes alone. I think the extra time I spend counseling and educating patients about caring for their bodies is definitely worth it to their health and well-being. | Why I entered medicine | My grandfather was a physician with his own practice. He had a passion for medicine that I believe was passed on to me. He just loved caring for patients and getting to know them. He literally took care of whole families, delivering babies and caring for each family member throughout their entire lives – a true family practitioner. I saw from a young age how rewarding a career in medicine could be. Fortunately, I found that I really enjoyed studying the sciences. Biology was my favorite subject in high school, and I majored in it in college. I took a year off before applying to medical school to work for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. I triaged all patient phone calls and handled OR scheduling. It wasn’t a clinical role, but working closely with patients showed me without a doubt that I wanted to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps. | Community involvement | I have two small children who take a lot of my time when I’m not working, so I give to the community when I can. In college I volunteered with an organization called Dress for Success that helps homeless women dress for job interviews. During my residency, I volunteered at high schools and colleges giving sports physicals. I was a competitive figure skater when I was younger, so I love working with young athletes, talking to them about preventing injuries and staying in peak condition. It’s truly a joy watching them achieve their highest athletic goals. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my two kids and my husband. We like being active outdoors, going for walks as a family and exploring the area. I still skate for fun, and also stay in shape by practicing yoga and spinning (riding a stationary bike). My kitchen is another happy place for me. I love baking and cooking Italian food. My grandparents were born in the United States but met in Rome where my grandfather went to medical school and my grandmother worked for the American embassy. I grew up hearing all about Italian culture and cuisine. In my quieter moments, there’s nothing like a good novel. I’ve always enjoyed losing myself in a book more than watching TV. It’s a wonderful escape and a great way to unwind. Dr. Stockhausen is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Eyelid Bump.

"Philosophy of care | I believe in treating all patients with dignity and respect. It starts with the doctor-patient relationship, which is based on communication. I strive to listen to patients and understand their background and values in order to tailor treatment to help them achieve their goals in health care as well as life.
