Philosophy of care | My philosophy is to utilize state-of-the-art knowledge and care in a compassionate manner to treat the whole patient (body, mind and spirit). I picture myself as a motivator of patients for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. I feel strongly about the use of exercise and diet to support appropriate medical and therapeutic modalities and to help people live longer and have more fulfilling lives. As for the use of medication, my philosophy is to not be the first and to not be the last. I understand the financial strains of our population and prescribe generic drugs when ever possible. | Why I entered medicine | I had an interest in science and interacting with and helping people. My interest began in 10th grade biology at Liberty High School. I've always enjoyed interacting with people socially, on the athletic field and academically. I especially enjoy interacting with the patients of the Lehigh Valley where my roots are. I enjoy discussing all aspects of people's lives, which helps me to better treat the whole person. | Community involvement | I coached basketball and baseball for 15 years while my four children were involved in the Northeast Little League and Liberty High School sports programs. My wife and I are members of the First Presbyterian Church in Bethlehem. We support church activities and New Bethany Ministries. | Personal interests | I play golf, go to Eagles games, attend University of Pennsylvania athletic events, run daily and read Revolutionary biographies.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy revolves around the physician-patient relationship. This relationship must be a partnership. The physician and patient must listen, trust and respect each other. As physicians, we must get to know our patients to appropriately care and guide them in their health care journey. Medicine is not all about guidelines and algorithms. We treat the whole patient, and therefore, we need to tailor our decisions based upon each person's needs and circumstances.

Philosophy of care | I believe our patient-physician relationship should encompass compassionate care, education, trust and understanding. I will spend time during each visit educating you on your health and diagnosis to help you become knowledgeable and an active participant in your care. | Why I entered medicine | My decision to pursue cardiology was largely driven by my experiences as a patient and the family member of a patient. When I was in high school, my father died suddenly from a genetic heart condition. As an organ donor his veins were ultimately used to save his mother-in-law’s life when she urgently needed bypass surgery. These experiences inspired and taught me the value of this field, and I want to use them to form a personal connection with you. Cardiology is one of the most dynamic areas of medicine, and treatments are constantly emerging. Had my father been treated by today’s medical system, his outcome may have been different. I am passionate about using these new resources and emerging technologies to help you and your family prevent a negative outcome. | Personal interests | I grew up in the Lehigh Valley, trained in Philadelphia and then moved back to the area.
