Philosophy of care | I try to tailor treatment to individual patients. Tailoring means I might aggressively try lifestyle modification to achieve goals in a younger, otherwise healthy person and avoid initiating medical therapy unless necessary. In an older person, I might have greater concern for medication side effects when organs like the kidneys may not tolerate drugs that could have been relatively safer and more effective when the patient was younger. And for a patient in midlife I might be more medically aggressive because it’s an ideal time to prevent poor outcomes later on. But for everyone I encourage self-care through healthy eating, exercise and stress reduction. | Why I entered medicine | I took a winding road into the field. When I was in middle school and high school I thought about going into medicine but got pulled away, thinking I might go into research or business. In college I started volunteering with the American Red Cross, and that drew me back to medicine. It made me feel fulfilled and gave me the sense I was doing service to the community. That’s how I ended up applying to medical school and sticking with it. | Community involvement | I recently moved back to the area and have family in Lehigh and Berks Counties, so my roots and my church are in the region. My husband is also from the area and we have community bonds through him as well. In other places I’ve done things like worked with the Rotary Club, participated in high school career fairs and of course volunteered with the American Red Cross. | Personal interests | I’m a big family person and we definitely moved back to the area to be closer to family. I’m also interested in running, yoga and hiking at places like Hawk Mountain or Trexler Nature Preserve. And my husband and I enjoy local activities like visiting local vineyards and craft beer breweries. Dr. Clugston is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of High Cholesterol.

Philosophy of care | I believe in the osteopathic philosophy of treating the whole person. I believe in being collaborative with patients and informative. I try to inform patients what their choices are. I also am collaborative and informative with each patient's specialists. It's best for the patient if we are all on the same page.

I believe in being honest. | Why I entered medicine | I chose to pursue a career in family medicine so I could use my training to benefit others and work with other professionals with team approach toward this goal. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughters, reading American history and doing outdoor projects.

Whether it is helping someone overcome his or her smoking habit, providing encouragement to someone who is struggling or taking time to educate and help someone make decisions about their health, I hope to make a positive difference. | Community involvement | Keeping in line with my passion, I have been involved in health literary programs aimed to assist, teach, and educate older adults to utilize modern technology to navigate the internet and accurate and reliable medical educational resources. | I also enjoy being part of the community that I serve and have volunteered my time to organizations such as the American Cancer Society and the Allentown Rescue Mission. | Personal interests | Spending time with my husband and cat is one of my favorite and most relaxing pastimes.
