Overview
Philosophy of care | My philosophy is really that of a student and a teacher. I need to listen and learn from each patient encounter and pass on this knowledge to be successful. | Why I entered medicine | The greatest mentors I had in training were infectious diseases specialists, and I wanted to be just like them. They were very smart and excellent teachers. | Community involvement | I volunteered in a homeless shelter during my medical school and residency, and I would like to do something like this again. I was in Kenya on a volunteer medical exchange, and it made me realize that there are many people here in the Lehigh Valley that could use charitable care as well. | Personal interests | I have too many hobbies and not enough time. I am an amateur beekeeper and like to bicycle. When I get lazy, I ride my motorcycle.
