      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. I am working with local community leaders (Mayors' office & local religious centers) to set up a mobile medical clinic which can offer basic health services in the Lehigh Valley region. | Personal interests | I enjoy jogging, biking, broadcast journalism (I am a commentator on international TV shows), gardening, travelling and above all spending time with my two lovely kids and wife.

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

      Philosophy of care | “Always do the most good for your patient.” A mother of one of my first patients said that to me, and I have strived to live up to that statement throughout my career. Building a trusting relationship with patients is vital. Working with children, it’s of the utmost importance that their loved ones are assured that we treat them with compassion. My goal is and always will be to provide the highest quality of care. | Why I entered medicine | There are so many things that can go wrong with a person’s health, but to be able to make a difference in someone’s everyday life is truly an invaluable reward. | Community involvement | I am a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics. I have participated in multiple local walks for cancer, and have volunteered at hospital-related events to raise funds. Additionally, I have helped to cover the LVHN first aid tent at Musikfest in Bethlehem, Pa. | Personal interests | My husband and I enjoy checking out local restaurants and exploring new cities.

      What is the definition of Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+)?

      Genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+) is a spectrum of seizure disorders of varying severity. GEFS+ is usually diagnosed in families whose members have a combination of febrile seizures, which are triggered by a high fever, and recurrent seizures (epilepsy) of other types, including seizures that are not related to fevers (afebrile seizures). The additional seizure types usually involve both sides of the brain (generalized seizures); however, seizures that involve only one side of the brain (partial seizures) occur in some affected individuals. The most common types of seizure in people with GEFS+ include myoclonic seizures, which cause involuntary muscle twitches; atonic seizures, which involve sudden episodes of weak muscle tone; and absence seizures, which cause loss of consciousness for short periods that appear as staring spells.

      When should I see a Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor in Pennsylvania, US?

      There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

      • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
      • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
      • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
      • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
      • You want a second opinion.  

      What should I consider when choosing a Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor in Pennsylvania, US?

      It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

      How does MediFind rank Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctors in Pennsylvania, US?

      MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

      What types of insurance are accepted by Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctors in Pennsylvania, US?

      Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

      How can I book an appointment online with a Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor in Pennsylvania, US?

      MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor search results page. 

      Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor?

      Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

      How can I prepare for my appointment with a Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor in Pennsylvania, US?

      Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

      • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
      • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
      • Family history of disease 
      • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
      • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
      • List of questions and concerns 
      • Your insurance card 

      You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

      What questions should I ask my Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor?

      Here are some sample questions: 

      • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
      • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
      • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
      • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
      • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

      How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor may know about?

      MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

      MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

      Can I filter my search to show male or female Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctors in Pennsylvania, US?

      Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

      Can I filter my search to find a Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor that offers video calls?

      Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+) doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
