      Philosophy of care | Most patients with back or neck pain do not need surgery.

I think patients do better when they play an active role in their treatment. | Why I entered medicine | I knew early on that I wanted to be a surgeon because of its hands-on aspect. My mother was an operating room nurse, so I had the opportunity to observe surgery while in high school. This experience steered me toward orthopedic surgery. | Community involvement | We are active in our church and with the various sports organizations in which our children are involved. | Personal interests | When not working I enjoy reading, guitar, golf and cycling. | Image | Lehigh Valley Hospital is ranked 25th in the country for orthopedic care on the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list.

      Philosophy of care | I intend to listen very intently to your problems, advise you the best I can and then treat you based on your health, social situation, support structure and personal desires. Most problems can be treated conservatively, with surgery being viewed as a final but effective option. | Why I entered medicine | My grandfather was a family doctor who died well before I was born. My father told me stories about him when I was young. Many involved Dad joining my grandfather on house visits in the middle of the night. He would even leave patients money for their prescriptions as he left them for the night. My grandfather certainly had an impact on my decision to enter medicine, a rewarding field where you can make a positive impact on people’s lives daily. | Personal interests | Outside work I am interested in physical fitness and anti-aging medicine. | Image | Lehigh Valley Hospital is ranked 25th in the country for orthopedic care on the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list.

My first exposure to orthopedic surgery came during medical school at Georgetown University, and it immediately became the only thing I could see myself doing. | Community involvement | I support St. Ann’s Shrine and Basilica, Saint Francis of Assisi Kitchen, American Cancer Society, Feeding America, Humane Society of North America, and Alzheimer’s Research Foundation. I currently am the team doctor for Dunmore High School football team and have spent seasons with Abington Heights football team as well as Lackawanna College. | Personal interests | When I am not working I spend time with my wife and our young son after getting a workout in on the Peloton.

      What is the definition of Invertebral Disc Disease?

      Intervertebral disc disease, also known as degenerative disc disease, is a condition in which the one or more of the discs that cushion and absorb pressure between the vertebrae of the spine degenerate and cause pain. Intervertebral disc disease may lead to curvature of the spine (adult scoliosis), herniated disc, spinal stenosis (narrowing), and slipped discs (spondylolisthesis). Intervertebral disc disease is a part of aging and is common in older adults.

      When should I see an Invertebral Disc Disease doctor near Scranton, PA?

      There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

      • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
      • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
      • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
      • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
      • You want a second opinion.  

      What should I consider when choosing an Invertebral Disc Disease doctor near Scranton, PA?

      It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

      How does MediFind rank Invertebral Disc Disease doctors near Scranton, PA?

      MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

      What types of insurance are accepted by Invertebral Disc Disease doctors near Scranton, PA?

      Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

      How can I book an appointment online with an Invertebral Disc Disease doctor near Scranton, PA?

      MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Invertebral Disc Disease doctor search results page. 

      Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Invertebral Disc Disease doctor?

      Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

      How can I prepare for my appointment with an Invertebral Disc Disease doctor near Scranton, PA?

      Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

      • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
      • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
      • Family history of disease 
      • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
      • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
      • List of questions and concerns 
      • Your insurance card 

      You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

      What questions should I ask my Invertebral Disc Disease doctor?

      Here are some sample questions: 

      • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
      • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
      • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
      • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
      • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

      How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Invertebral Disc Disease doctor may know about?

      MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

      MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

      Can I filter my search to show male or female Invertebral Disc Disease doctors near Scranton, PA?

      Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Invertebral Disc Disease doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

      Can I filter my search to find an Invertebral Disc Disease doctor that offers video calls?

      Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Invertebral Disc Disease doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
