Philosophy of care | I pride myself on being compassionate, understanding and most of all sympathetic to the needs of my patients. Also, I have a sense of humor!

Understanding on both of our parts is extremely important to the doctor-patient relationship. | Why I entered medicine | I experienced multiple illnesses as a child, and I looked to my doctor for comfort and guidance. My pediatrician always gave my parents and me a feeling of peace - a sense that everything would be all right. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my wife, two children and my dog.

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!).

Philosophy of care | The healing process requires trust, knowledge and hope. I try to create a feeling of trust, give patients the knowledge they need to understand their own condition, and of course, develop a plan that gives them hope. I treat my patients as if they are a member of my family or a close friend. I committed myself to that when I first thought of becoming a doctor. I know what it means. My dear aunt and grandmother both had breast cancer. I know how it affected my own family. Treating a patient like a member of the family means empowering my patients with understandable information and formulating a treatment plan that makes sense to them. I share my perspective with my patients, try to eliminate the unknown and help them to see the light after passing through darkness. | Also, I am a member of the breast cancer multidisciplinary consultation team. Together we review your diagnostic information and give you a written opinion reflecting the scope of your condition and recommendations for your best course of care. | Why I entered medicine | I was conflicted between my passion for classical music as a concert pianist and for the art of medicine as an intellectual.

Philosophy of care | In a world where it seems like practices are becoming larger and less personal, our office is still a small two practitioner practice. This allows a patient to be able to see the same physician in the practice and for that doctor to be able to know that patient and his or her family as well as he can. | Why I entered medicine | I had originally entered college planning to become a chemical engineer. After a semester of math and science, I decided that I wanted a profession where I could feel like I was directly impacting people's lives on a daily basis. I really cherish getting to know my patients and their families. | Community involvement | I am involved in my son's team sports and school events.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy in helping patients is to sit back and listen to what they say. Getting to know the patients' families and hearing about what is going on in their lives can help me make suggestions to help them. I really believe in the osteopathic philosophy of treating the body as a whole. I spend time with my patients and give them the chance to express what is on their mind and ask questions. | Why I entered medicine | In school I had always enjoyed and done well in health sciences. When my neighbor, who was like a grandmother to me, became ill, I really started thinking about medicine. At that time, my family physician became a role model and mentor to me. After shadowing him, I realized that I enjoyed talking to patients, developing a diagnosis and being able to help them. I have gone to an osteopathic family physician my entire life. I never knew the difference between a D.O. and an M.D. until I got older. I chose the osteopathic profession because it fit my personality and beliefs. I enjoy being able to apply osteopathic manipulation as an additional option in treatment. | Personal interests | Family values are very important to me. In my spare time, I enjoy playing with my children, being outside and spending time with extended family. Dr. Erschen is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Lymphedema. Her top areas of expertise are Hypertension, Familial Hypertension, Glucocorticoid-Remediable Aldosteronism, and Bernard-Soulier Syndrome.

Philosophy of care | My main goal is to treat every patient as a person with kindness and respect. I’m passionate about preventative care and educating patients about lifestyle changes that help people live longer, healthier and happier lives. I like to take a holistic approach that includes diet, exercise and helping the body heal itself, as opposed to just using medications. I prescribe them when necessary, but a lot of chronic conditions can be improved or prevented with lifestyle changes alone. I think the extra time I spend counseling and educating patients about caring for their bodies is definitely worth it to their health and well-being. | Why I entered medicine | My grandfather was a physician with his own practice. He had a passion for medicine that I believe was passed on to me. He just loved caring for patients and getting to know them. He literally took care of whole families, delivering babies and caring for each family member throughout their entire lives – a true family practitioner. I saw from a young age how rewarding a career in medicine could be. Fortunately, I found that I really enjoyed studying the sciences. Biology was my favorite subject in high school, and I majored in it in college. I took a year off before applying to medical school to work for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. I triaged all patient phone calls and handled OR scheduling. It wasn’t a clinical role, but working closely with patients showed me without a doubt that I wanted to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps. | Community involvement | I have two small children who take a lot of my time when I’m not working, so I give to the community when I can. In college I volunteered with an organization called Dress for Success that helps homeless women dress for job interviews. During my residency, I volunteered at high schools and colleges giving sports physicals. I was a competitive figure skater when I was younger, so I love working with young athletes, talking to them about preventing injuries and staying in peak condition. It’s truly a joy watching them achieve their highest athletic goals. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my two kids and my husband. We like being active outdoors, going for walks as a family and exploring the area. I still skate for fun, and also stay in shape by practicing yoga and spinning (riding a stationary bike). My kitchen is another happy place for me. I love baking and cooking Italian food. My grandparents were born in the United States but met in Rome where my grandfather went to medical school and my grandmother worked for the American embassy. I grew up hearing all about Italian culture and cuisine. In my quieter moments, there’s nothing like a good novel. I’ve always enjoyed losing myself in a book more than watching TV. It’s a wonderful escape and a great way to unwind. Dr. Stockhausen is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Lymphedema.

Philosophy of care | Listening is important. That's the most helpful to patients. You get the most insight into their personality. Communication is also important -- not only with the patient, but with the patient's family, and especially in the hospital or nursing home. Good communication goes a long way. I've been doing this for more than 10 years, and you build a relationship with your patients. I like to catch up, see how they're doing, ask about their family, vacations. | Why I entered medicine | My father was a doctor, and that had an impact on me when I was growing up. | Personal interests | My greatest passion in life is my family -- my wife and my two daughters. That's the most important thing to me. I spend a lot of time with the family, and I like to fish. We're big Eagles fans, and I have season tickets.

Philosophy of care | I try to approach each patient interaction with an open mind and open ears. I listen to what patients are saying – and what they’re not saying – to get the complete story. My goal is to partner with patients and empower them to get involved in their care. | Why I entered medicine | Early on in school, I noticed I most enjoyed classes about health and the human body. As my medical training progressed, I discovered there’s so much more to being a physician than prescribing and diagnosing. It involves a unique mix of skills, including detective work and the ability to listen to and support patients. Practicing medicine is a very fulfilling career, ever-changing and always keeping me on my toes. I’m grateful for the opportunity to connect deeply with patients and help them live healthier lives. | Community involvement | I enjoy staying involved with medical education, including working with medical students and internal medicine residents. I also stay active as a volunteer at my children's school when time allows. | Personal interests | I have two awesome children who continue to keep me busy.
