Experienced in Lung Metastases

Overview

Philosophy of care | My philosophy includes personalized care to provide you the best treatment, as well as the most economical and convenient care to help improve your life. I am honest with prognosis and treatment outcomes and believe that informed patients and families can determine which medical interventions they want to pursue. I believe in local medicine and that a healthy community is a thriving community. | Why I entered medicine | I trained as a biomedical engineer, but really wanted to help people directly. I have an interest in health care economics and public health, and those principles helped me realize I needed to be on the frontlines, talking to patients and helping my community. | Community involvement | I have volunteered at local free clinics. | Personal interests | I split my spare time among raising my family, health care economics, football and basketball. | Image | Lehigh Valley Hospital is ranked 42th for pulmonology and lung surgery on the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list. |.
