Philosophy of care | I believe in forming a partnership with my patients and taking the time to be a good listener. I try to follow the best evidence-based medicine guidelines for testing and treatment. I enjoy working to promote healthy lifestyles and preventative care to keep you well. I believe it is important to work together with you to create a plan of care that's right for you. I will try to be your advocate and help coordinate all of your care needs as your primary care physician. I also have a special interest in geriatrics and long-term care medicine. It is my goal to provide older adults and nursing home residents the highest-quality, compassionate care for optimum health, function, and quality of life. | Why I entered medicine | I became a doctor because I want to make each and every day meaningful, and make a positive impact on your health. I chose internal medicine because it allows me to establish long-term relationships with my patients. I truly enjoy the follow-up care and ongoing relationships I have with my patients, welcoming back the same patients again and again. It is my goal to help manage all of your health care needs - promoting healthy lifestyles, managing chronic conditions, treating illness and coordinating the transition between specialists, hospitals, and other caregivers. I believe it is important for every patient to have one physician who can act as a coordinator of care and to be involved at some level in all of their health care needs. | Community involvement | I serve as the medical director for both Gracedale Nursing Home in Northampton County and The Good Shepherd Home in Bethlehem. | Personal interests | I have been married to my wonderful wife Jennifer since 1998. When I am not at work I enjoy helping her with her jewelry business on weekends. I am also the proud father of two beautiful daughters. Some of my hobbies include running, gardening, hiking and playing with my energetic Chesapeake Bay retriever and our two cats.
