Overview
Philosophy of care | First I review the child's medical history to learn why he or she is seeing me and what’s already been done to address the problem. When I examine the child, I listen to any concerns and keep an open mind. Then I’ll give you and the child recommendations and options. I explain everything as plainly as I can, often using pictures. Since inserting ear tubes is the most common operation we do, I always carry a set in my pocket so I can show them to you. I answer questions and work with you on a plan that’s the most appropriate. I’m always happy to let parents know what option I would choose if my own child had the same medical problem. | Why I entered medicine | When I was a child, I had ear, nose and throat problems, including hearing loss, ear wax buildup and allergies. So having those experiences steered me toward pediatric ENT and otolaryngology. Also, my mother is a nurse. When I was in middle school, she suffered an asthma attack and I helped her with her breathing treatment. Helping her made an impression on me and probably inspired me to enter the medical field. | Community involvement | I help with community outreach initiatives at the church I attend with my family. Recently, we raised money and collected food for community soup kitchens, distributed school supplies to kids that needed them and provided socks to needy children. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids. We often watch movies and visit local parks. I’m a foodie, so I enjoy trying new restaurants with my family. My friends and family enjoy the coffee drinks and cocktails I make for them. I’m a big Eagles fan. The year they won the Superbowl, I was in Atlanta. But I flew to Philadelphia for the parade.
