Philosophy of care | My philosophy is to be focused on patients and work with them to achieve optimal health through screening for medical conditions, addressing medical problems that arise and overall having a good, healthy lifestyle. I believe in the family medicine model of approaching the whole patient in the context of their background, including their cultural, religious and moral beliefs, to ensure the best outcomes and the healthiest life. That incorporates the entire family and the role family plays in health – because if patients have that social support, they actually have better outcomes in the long run. | Why I entered medicine | I got interested in medicine during college. I can’t say there was one defining moment or a specific event that led to it – I just had a fascination with human health. My interest solidified before I went to medical school when I worked as an office manager and medical assistant at a medical center in Queens, New York, where I grew up. I also did volunteer work in radiology, at a microbiology lab and with an ambulance corps. | Community involvement | I moved here from Queens in July 2016 so still feel new to the area. I’m enjoying learning more about the Lehigh Valley. | Personal interests | I like spending time with family and friends, going hiking and camping when possible and exploring what the Lehigh Valley has to offer – everything from restaurants to sights to natural walks and hikes. Some of my favorite places so far include Hawk Mountain, Glen Onoko Falls and Lake Nockamixon. I enjoy exploring nature, getting fresh air and being physically active. | I also like to travel and see different parts of the world – to recognize differences in cultures, cuisines and interactions between people. I’ve been to various places in South America and Europe such as a recent trip to Spain. I recently made a return visit to the Dominican Republic, where I had gone for a global health rotation during my medical residency.

Philosophy of care | My approach in helping you goes beyond treating any medical issues to also guiding you to a healthy lifestyle through screening and discussion. I value the importance of preventive medicine, with twin goals of promoting well-being and avoiding disease/disability. I also believe it is critically important to advocate for you and help you navigate the medical system. | Why I entered medicine | My father is a family physician. Growing up watching him help guide families of multiple generations through the health care system is why I chose this career path – particularly family medicine. I really appreciate the chance to sit down and spend time with my patients, listening to what is important to them and making a difference in their lives. I very much enjoy the continuity of follow up. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending free time with my wife, reading, bicycling, golfing and attending sporting events.

I will do my best to explain cardiac procedures and show empathy toward patient care. | Why I entered medicine | In college, I enjoyed health sciences such as anatomy and physiology. As a child, I loved to play video games and sports. Interventional cardiology requires precise hand-eye coordination, a skill I learned from my childhood hobbies. | Community involvement | I am involved with CORE (Community Organized Resuscitation Education) and the goal is to train others in our community about CPR to help save lives. | Personal interests | When I am not in the hospital, you can find me exercising, reading up on cars, or watching sports.

Philosophy of care | My practice philosophy is to hold your welfare – the patient’s welfare – first and foremost. I am committed to providing you with personalized, high-quality care, whether I am seeing you in the office for an appointment or in the hospital. I especially value clear, prompt and respectful patient-physician communication. Although my expertise in interventional cardiology involves treating existing blockages, I strongly believe that prevention is the key to long-term good health and much of that comes from excellent control of cardiovascular risk factors. My goal is to provide optimal evidence-based care with the best possible outcomes for you. I strive to put that into practice every day. | Why I entered medicine | As a biomedical engineering student, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to assist in innovating novel cardiovascular technology while working with many physician-scientists and their patients. I quickly observed the inexplicable bond that exists between physicians and patients. This allowed me to truly appreciate the value of medicine and the importance of bridging the gap between engineering and medicine. Today I find the constant progress within cardiovascular treatments inspiring due to rapid innovation that brings minimally invasive therapies to our patients. I am consistently energized and motivated by patients who benefit from quicker recovery, better outcomes, and improved survival rates. Cardiology is a dynamic field seeing prolific advancement on all fronts, with interventional cardiology at the forefront of many leading-edge technologies. Interventional cardiology is truly gratifying to me since it utilizes revolutionary therapies to immediately help critically ill patients. I find my work meaningful as well as impactful. | Community involvement | As a native of the Lehigh Valley, I am eager to leverage my expertise to give back to the community that fostered my growth. Having family and friends in this very area makes me even more passionate about educating, not only my patients and their families but also the entire community regarding cardiovascular disease and new evidence-based therapies. I have spoken at various forums around the Lehigh Valley, published articles online and in our local newspaper and will continue to look for new opportunities and mediums to share information. I volunteer to create awareness in the community while conducting cardiac health screenings. | Personal interests | During my leisure time, I love playing sports like basketball, tennis, golf and squash.

Philosophy of care | Family medicine gives me the unique opportunity to care for individuals and families throughout their lives and across generations. I enjoy working with young families, promoting healthy lifestyles and putting preventive medicine into practice. I also love helping patients learn about, treat and live successfully with the medical conditions they develop over their lifespans. | Why I entered medicine | I’m the first person in my family to graduate from college. My grandparents didn’t finish high school, but they made sure their children – my parents – got a better education. Although my parents didn’t have the opportunity to attend college, they recognized the importance of a complete education and made sure I had every chance to pursue my interests and be successful in whatever career I chose. I found I had a passion for the intellectual challenge of medicine and was excited by the opportunity family medicine offered to be a health advocate for families and the community. | Community involvement | My work as a doctor improving patients’ lives is my passion, but it’s an all-consuming job that doesn’t allow me much time for volunteer pursuits. However, in the past I served for 10 years on the board of Dream Come True, a local grassroots charity that makes dreams come true for seriously, chronically or terminally ill children. | Personal interests | I enjoy painting, reading, gardening, art and history.

I like to help people help themselves. I think it’s important for my patients to understand they play a role in their health. I want them to take simple steps like eating right and exercising so they can truly improve their health—as opposed to just popping a pill that doesn’t get to the root of the problem. | Why I entered medicine | I was in college for biology, and I came to a crossroads where I needed to figure out what I was going to do next. My dad is a dentist, and as a child I grew up watching him help people. I wanted to help people too, so I chose to go to medical school to become a doctor. | Personal interests | I am passionate about and dedicated to my family.

Philosophy of care | I went into primary care because I love developing relationships with my patients. I believe in listening to them and including them in their care. I want patients to understand the why and the how of their healthcare so they can make educated decisions that have a positive impact on their lives. | Why I entered medicine | My father was a doctor, and I grew up in a medical household. I always had a passion for taking care of people, but my early plans were to go into social work, not medicine. Somewhere along the way, though, I realized how much my father loved what he did. I recognized that becoming a doctor would allow me to make a profound difference in people’s lives, and I decided to follow in his footsteps. | Community involvement | Being an active participant in my community is vitally important to me. I sit on the board of the B’nai B’rith Housing Corporation in Allentown, a residence for seniors and those with mobility impairments. I also volunteer regularly at my synagogue and serve on many committees. It’s all part of supporting people around me who’ve given me so much. | Personal interests | Reading fiction is one of my favorite pastimes. I’m in a book group of women I’ve known for 20 years. We meet once a month to talk about books—and anything else that inevitably comes up. I also get together regularly with friends to play mah-jongg (a game using tiles that was developed in China). At home, I love spending time with my husband, two teenage kids and my two dogs. I credit the dogs with keeping me in shape; we log a couple of miles every day, rain or shine, hot or cold. My other happy place is any quiet stretch of beach along the Jersey shore. You’ll find me there whenever I can get away (sitting under an umbrella with my sunscreen on, of course!).

Philosophy of care | It is vital to have patients involved in their treatment process because physicians are only one element of the healing process. I greatly enjoy getting to know the patient as a whole and not just from a medical perspective. | Why I entered medicine | Throughout my childhood I felt fortunate to have had the chance to think about what I wanted to be when I grew up. I was in high school when I first realized that medicine was the perfect match for me. If anyone was ever injured or sick, I was the first person on the scene to make sure they were OK. It gives me great comfort and relief to help someone in medical need. | Personal interests | Any spare time that I have is dedicated to my family. We travel, eat and have lots of family gatherings.
