"Philosophy of care | Finding health, not disease, is my goal. I look forward to discussing with you the six pillars of lifestyle medicine: Nutrition (eating whole foods). Sleep (seven to nine hours). Exercise (movement is medicine). Stress (harness it for better living). Risky substances (ways to avoid them). Relationships (seek strong social connections). | Why I entered medicine | The human being is a wonderful, complex, miraculous creation, and I have had a long-standing interest in health and healing. But medicine is my second career – I first worked as a chemical engineer. Today I apply to the practice of medicine those experiences in problem-solving, root cause analysis and process optimization. Rather than simply prescribing you another medicine to treat a symptom, I prefer to understand the root cause and, if possible, eliminate it. | Community involvement | I am excited to participate in the Lehigh Valley Blue Zones Project. I am so glad Lehigh Valley Health Network has made the choice to partner with Blue Zones to transform the health of our region in ""Making the healthy choice the easy choice."" | Personal interests | I enjoy pursuing a healthy lifestyle and sharing that passion with others. I adhere to a whole food plant-based diet and love to cook. I also love spending time in nature hiking, biking, stand-up paddleboarding, sailing and camping. I regularly practice yoga and meditation.". Dr. Mueller is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). His top areas of expertise are Chronic Cough, Glucocorticoid-Remediable Aldosteronism, Hypertension, and Familial Hypertension.

"Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is patient-centered. I believe in a strong doctor and patient relationship that involves mutual respect, honesty, compassion and personal responsibility. I believe an essential part of ""doctoring"" is providing quality medical care in a caring atmosphere where every patient is heard and treated as a unique individual. | Why I entered medicine | Ever since I could remember I had always wanted to go into medicine. I am one of seven children. My mother was a nurse and she always encouraged me to enter the medical profession. She entered nursing school when I was 8 years old. I was brought up watching her study, listening to stories about patients and the hospital. My enthusiasm for medicine continued in high school and college; I loved the sciences. When it was time to fill out my application, I knew being a doctor would enable me to make a positive and meaningful difference in the lives of people when they need it most, and there are not many professions that give us that privilege. | Community involvement | I remain active in the community supporting my church, childrens schools and sports teams. I am also active in the American Heart Association's Lehigh Valley chapter. | Personal interests | As a mother of three beautiful children, wife of a wonderful cardiologist and a solo medical practitioner in internal medicine, personal interests are hard to fit in. My father purchased a home on the Jersey Shore in 1994, which allows me to enjoy the beach and precious time with my family. I also love to ski. I started skiing in medical school and make a yearly trek out West with my family and friends. As a physician, I am always reminding patients of the benefits of regular exercise, and I, too, try to remain physically active. In 2011, I completed the Lehigh Valley Marathon -- that was a very proud moment!". Dr. Persin is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Her top areas of expertise are Vitamin D Deficiency, Sitosterolemia, High Cholesterol, and Hypertension.

Philosophy of care | I believe in treating patients as equals and friends. When a patient visits, I want to make them comfortable when they share what’s happening with their health. I don’t like to lecture people, but I believe it’s important to educate patients about preventative medicine. It’s important to catch small issues before they become big problems. It's very enjoyable and very rewarding, particularly when I see patients in the hospital – and in the office – to know that what I am doing has an impact. I also like to find out what's going on in their lives in addition to the medical aspects – with their grandchildren, where they are going on vacation – just meeting people every day and getting to know them. | Why I entered medicine | Growing up, I played football and basketball in school, and I was always interested in how the body works. But my mom says it goes back ever further than that. She says I talked about being a doctor from the time I was 4 years old. I can’t imagine doing anything else – it’s who I am. | Community involvement | I spend time at Muhlenberg teaching interns, residents and medical students. | Personal interests | I'm caring, passionate, loyal and intense - intense in a good way. I care a lot about everything I do and everything that goes on around me. I love my family, and I spend as much time with them as possible. My wife and I have three children. And of course, we have our dog. Shes a German shorthair pointer and she’s definitely an important member of our family, too. I also spend a lot of time following sports – the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team and the Eagles.

Philosophy of care | It is vital to have patients involved in their treatment process because physicians are only one element of the healing process. I greatly enjoy getting to know the patient as a whole and not just from a medical perspective. | Why I entered medicine | Throughout my childhood I felt fortunate to have had the chance to think about what I wanted to be when I grew up. I was in high school when I first realized that medicine was the perfect match for me. If anyone was ever injured or sick, I was the first person on the scene to make sure they were OK. It gives me great comfort and relief to help someone in medical need. | Personal interests | Any spare time that I have is dedicated to my family. We travel, eat and have lots of family gatherings.

His top areas of expertise are Malnutrition, Hypertension, Glucocorticoid-Remediable Aldosteronism, and Familial Hypertension.

Philosophy of care | I went into primary care because I love developing relationships with my patients. I believe in listening to them and including them in their care. I want patients to understand the why and the how of their healthcare so they can make educated decisions that have a positive impact on their lives. | Why I entered medicine | My father was a doctor, and I grew up in a medical household. I always had a passion for taking care of people, but my early plans were to go into social work, not medicine. Somewhere along the way, though, I realized how much my father loved what he did. I recognized that becoming a doctor would allow me to make a profound difference in people’s lives, and I decided to follow in his footsteps. | Community involvement | Being an active participant in my community is vitally important to me. I sit on the board of the B’nai B’rith Housing Corporation in Allentown, a residence for seniors and those with mobility impairments. I also volunteer regularly at my synagogue and serve on many committees. It’s all part of supporting people around me who’ve given me so much. | Personal interests | Reading fiction is one of my favorite pastimes. I’m in a book group of women I’ve known for 20 years. We meet once a month to talk about books—and anything else that inevitably comes up. I also get together regularly with friends to play mah-jongg (a game using tiles that was developed in China). At home, I love spending time with my husband, two teenage kids and my two dogs. I credit the dogs with keeping me in shape; we log a couple of miles every day, rain or shine, hot or cold. My other happy place is any quiet stretch of beach along the Jersey shore. You’ll find me there whenever I can get away (sitting under an umbrella with my sunscreen on, of course!).

Her top areas of expertise are Melorheostosis, Melorheostosis with Osteopoikilosis, Osteopenia, and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).

Philosophy of care | I want to help people live their best life. | Why I entered medicine | My family comes from a combination of cultures. I was raised near the Venezuelan-Columbian border, and the exposure to this environment, with limited medical services, inspired me to work in improving access to health care to the area's inhabitants. Due to the political environment in Venezuela, I later chose to move to a country that cherishes freedom. | Personal interests | I enjoy my family, reading history, languages, swimming, scuba diving and playing tennis.

His top areas of expertise are Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), Obesity, Hepatitis C, and Cirrhosis.
