Philosophy of care | My partner and I treat people like family. We respond to questions immediately, and when we order tests, our philosophy is that we should call every patient with results ourselves. I make those calls every day before I go home for supper. That way patients can make the most informed decisions about their care. We work closely with colleagues at Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest and are very happy to refer our patients to specialists in disciplines like infertility and gynecologic oncology. We make sure we abide by screening guidelines for tests such as bone density so we can refer our patients for appropriate treatment. | Why I entered medicine | I grew up in the Lehigh Valley, where a lot of family friends were physicians, and I was struck by how they took care of patients and had great concern for them. I wanted to help people get healthy and stay healthy, and was most interested in delivering babies. Even though I no longer practice obstetrics, I’ve been here since 1980s and have delivered about 3,000 babies for area families. People I’ve delivered often bring their own children back to see me, and that’s very rewarding. | Community involvement | I’ve been on an advisory board for the local Red Cross and contribute to that organization and the Salvation Army, which is a major provider for local poor and homeless people. Many of our homeless are veterans who served their country and are now sick. The Salvation Army takes care of a lot of them. I appreciate the work they’ve done for vets who have come on hard times. | Personal interests | Beyond spending time with my wife, who is a local bookkeeper, and our two college-age kids, I like outdoor activities like water sports, hiking, fishing and camping. I grew up that way – my parents always had us doing things outdoors. We usually do a beach trip to Cape May in the summer. When you work indoors all week, it’s nice to be out waterskiing or being in the natural environment. Dr. Yaswinski is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Melorheostosis.

Philosophy of care | I always look at patients as a whole and enlist them in the decision-making process. I listen to their fears and concerns, address the issues and guide them in the right direction. I believe in preventive care and interplay between mind and body, particularly with rheumatic disease. | Why I entered medicine | The workings of the human body have piqued my interest from a very young age. Having no family member in the health care field motivated me to be the first. Combined with my caring, compassionate attitude and attentiveness to detail, a medical career has helped me achieve my dream. | Community involvement | I enjoy helping elderly relatives and neighbors with their chores, technology and also lend a listening ear. I try to increase awareness about preventive medical care and healthy living for friends, family and community.

Philosophy of care | As a family physician, it’s important to develop relationships with patients. I see the full spectrum from early childhood, to adult, to end of life, and you need to take in the entire scope when caring for each patient. The family impacts each individual, and since I take care of the whole family, if the husband smokes, I can’t treat the wife without treating the husband! I take a holistic approach to getting everyone healthy. I like partnering with people and their families to establish healthy goals and lifestyles to prevent problems later on – and of course taking care of them if something does happen, establishing realistic expectations about problems and what treatments can accomplish. | Why I entered medicine | Ever since I was little, I wanted to go into medicine. It all boils down to helping people, and I felt medicine was the way I could do that. Entering medical school, I knew that I wanted to focus on Family Medicine and my experience doing medical rotations solidified my career path. I wanted to be the doctor who people saw for the holistic management of their well-being and I wanted to establish relationships with patients of all age groups. | Community involvement | I enjoy working with medical students from local universities as a mentor and teacher. I enjoy guiding future doctors and nurse practitioners with my personal style of medicine. | Personal interests | I love music and try to keep active and healthy. I also like to travel and cook. The Caribbean and Southeast Asia are two of my favorite regions to visit, but vineyard tours of Napa Valley and Bordeaux are on my to-do list! I’m of Ukrainian background and can understand and semi-fluently speak the language as well as a basic understanding of the Polish language.

I wouldn’t become a doctor for another 12 years, but I clearly remember the feeling of our first son being born and then placed on my chest. I watched his eyes opening, meeting mine for the first time – all in slow motion; it is a love that cannot be explained easily in words.
