Philosophy of care | I strongly support patient autonomy. I see part of my job as providing information, discussing treatment options and helping women make choices they feel is best for them. Supporting my patients' informed decisions is integral. I give my patients the advice I want my wife, mother and daughter to receive from their gynecologists. I'm compassionate and practice evidence-based medicine. | Why I entered medicine | Obstetrics and gynecology provides an opportunity to practice lifelong continuity, preventive medicine, primary care and medical-surgical treatment. Sharing the experience of childbirth with a family is tremendously rewarding. | Community involvement | I spent a total of 12 years in the U.S. Army, eight of those years as an OB/GYN. The leadership and training I received were invaluable and provided me with a solid foundation. Along with other LVHN heath care providers, I have visited Haiti twice in 2017 working with The Haiti Health Trust. I also participate in the Haiti Medical Education project and video-lecture medical and nursing students as well as OBGYN residents throughout Haiti. | Personal interests | In my spare time, I do whatever my kids ask me to do. If I were not practicing medicine, I would be a tornado chaser or auditioning for the E Street Band. Becoming a super-delegate would also have perks.

Philosophy of care | I believe in informed choices when counseling my patients. I believe my role is an educator, to make sure my patients are aware of all the different options available to them - and, at the same time, to advise them as to what may be the best choice based on their clinical picture. | Why I entered medicine | During medical school, my toughest rotation was OB/GYN. I spent the most number of hours in the hospital and I slept the least, but it was the rotation that left me the most satisfied. I love the combination of medicine and surgery, and I find my role in women's health rewarding. | Community involvement | I volunteered during medical school and residency, helping at blood drives and free health screenings. | Personal interests | I spend time with my family, exploring our new neighborhood.

Philosophy of care | One of the most important things to me is educating patients about gynecologic and obstetric care, which often includes talking about what is normal and not normal. I like to talk with patients in a conversational way that allows them to feel involved in their care. I generally want patients to lead the visit and talk about what’s most important to them, as opposed to me talking about what I think is most important. That’s part of what patient-centered care is about – having patients advocate for their own health care and having doctors respond to patients’ main concerns. | Why I entered medicine | I always loved science as kid and was exposed to medicine through my mom, who is a nurse, and two sisters who are also physicians. I tried to consider other science-related careers but always came back to medicine—I almost couldn’t get away from doing it. I became interested in obstetrics and gynecology when my older sister was an OB-GYN resident but really fell in love with it in my own third-year rotation. No other specialty was as exciting and interesting to me as OB-GYN. | Community involvement | I’m part of the Pennsylvania Medical Society, but on a more local level, I feel a real connection to the community from having delivered babies. Because I live in the area, I see plenty of patients whose children I delivered, and it’s always nice to run into them at the grocery, school, daycare – just about anywhere. It’s fun to watch babies I delivered grow, and to have parents tell their kids that I helped bring them into the world. | Personal interests | Outside of work, most of my time is taken up by activities with my kids. I do like to run and have done multiple races, including a few half marathons. Some of these are charitable events, and one that I do annually is the Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure, which supports the fight against breast cancer. I also like to travel, especially to warm and sunny places like Florida or the Bahamas.

Philosophy of care | No doubt I believe that I strive to treat my patients as if they were my own family or friends. While I may see babies born every day - and in fact have seen hundreds in my career - for my patients, it may be their first so it's scary and exciting and emotional. When most people are asked what was the most important moment in their lives, a common answer is the day their children were born. I keep this in mind as I care for my patients. | Why I entered medicine | My father is a scientist and my mother a nurse, so I suppose I combined the two in my pursuit of a medical degree. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to have a career in medicine. First it was veterinary, then pediatrics, and in medical school, I found the joy of obstetrics and gynecology. The science of medicine continues to amaze me, and the human element is what makes me truly love what I do. Women of diverse backgrounds with incredible stories and journeys make this field so rewarding. | Community involvement | I was born and raised in Topton, Pa., and my husband and I are active in a local community outreach organization based there. The group organizes community events as well as raising money for local groups and community members in need. I also have school-age children, and so I try to volunteer to help in their school when I can. I can also be found with my kids in tow in 5K events in the area! | Personal interests | Since I was raised in this area, I have most of my extended family nearby so I spend quite a bit of time with them. My husband, kids and I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, biking and playing sports in the backyard. I LOVE the beach and swimming. I also enjoy reading, and especially reading on the beach! For exercise, I try to run when I can and really enjoy Zumba, which is so fun that it doesn't feel like exercise at all.

Philosophy of care | I consider myself an educator and facilitator. It’s my responsibility to help patients understand their condition, and guide them to make health care decisions in which they are comfortable and confident. | Why I entered medicine | I’ve always had a fascination with how the body works. I wouldn’t say that I chose to specialize in women’s health. It chose me. When I was a medical student, I was awestruck when I helped deliver a baby. When I deliver a baby today, I still am. Every patient and family I care for is a new experience, and I enjoy that very much. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my family. My wife, Anne Marie, also is an OB/GYN. We met during our residency at Lehigh Valley Health Network. We have a son and daughter and like to travel as a family. I also enjoy being outdoors swimming, biking, hiking and golfing.

"Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is basic: treat patients as I would want to be treated or as I would want my family to be treated. To me, this means being honest, open, always providing evidence-based medicine, and helping patients become active members in their healthcare. I also bring a unique interest in ""integrative medicine,"" which is the use of safe complementary or alternative medicine to aid in traditional patient care. In all circumstances, my focus is to recommend only evidence-based use of alternative treatments in the very best interests of my patients. | Why I entered medicine | I love the career continuity and satisfaction that being an obstetrician/gynecologist provides. It allows me to develop long-term relationships with women from adolescence, through the childbearing years, to menopause and beyond. Through medicine and particularly in the field of ob/gyn, I can provide primary care services, and family planning services, and then be the doctor who delivers your baby or operates on you should you require a gynecologic surgery. The fact that I provide minimally invasive surgery to reduce a patient’s time in the hospital is a satisfying experience I can offer to patients. It means a lot to me that I can be the same physician who cares for you and the female members of your family for most of your lives. | Personal interests | My greatest passion is families—my own family and having the privilege of helping others start to build their families.".

Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine because of my interests in science and in opportunities to help people. I chose to specialize in obstetrics and gynecology because it allows me to participate in important milestones in the lives of women. As in other aspects of my life, I always strive to treat others the way I would want to be treated. I feel honored each day to be trusted to help women stay healthy, listen and counsel them about their medical conditions, and treat their ailments.
