Overview

Philosophy of care | I strive to provide you with high-quality, compassionate and individualized patient-centered orthopedic care in a timely and efficient manner. Conditions that I am best suited to handle are arthritic conditions of the hip or knee as well as the complications of previous surgeries of these joints. I will not turn a patient away who is having pain because of a previous procedure. | Why I entered medicine | I entered the field of medicine because it allowed me to combine a love of science and a desire to fix things in a way that would allow me to help others. I find no greater satisfaction than helping a patient return to activities that they were unable to do because of pain. | Community involvement | I am a MET NY rugby referee. | Personal interests | I love sports, especially rugby, golf, cycling and watching the New York Giants. | 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. |.
