Overview
Philosophy of care | I believe in working alongside patients and families as part of a team to reestablish their way of life, focusing on preserving and empowering each person’s ideal way of living. | Why I entered medicine | I love having the opportunity to help individuals reconnect with the unique aspects of life they value by restoring function and highlighting intact potential. | Community involvement | My wife and I proudly support United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley! | Personal interests | I like bonsai and gardening, hiking, tennis, table tennis, golf, and my dog (a very sweet American Staffordshire terrier named Bumblebee).
