Philosophy of care | I strongly support patient autonomy. I see part of my job as providing information, discussing treatment options and helping women make choices they feel is best for them. Supporting my patients' informed decisions is integral. I give my patients the advice I want my wife, mother and daughter to receive from their gynecologists. I'm compassionate and practice evidence-based medicine. | Why I entered medicine | Obstetrics and gynecology provides an opportunity to practice lifelong continuity, preventive medicine, primary care and medical-surgical treatment. Sharing the experience of childbirth with a family is tremendously rewarding. | Community involvement | I spent a total of 12 years in the U.S. Army, eight of those years as an OB/GYN. The leadership and training I received were invaluable and provided me with a solid foundation. Along with other LVHN heath care providers, I have visited Haiti twice in 2017 working with The Haiti Health Trust. I also participate in the Haiti Medical Education project and video-lecture medical and nursing students as well as OBGYN residents throughout Haiti. | Personal interests | In my spare time, I do whatever my kids ask me to do.

Philosophy of care | I believe in informed choices when counseling my patients. I believe my role is an educator, to make sure my patients are aware of all the different options available to them - and, at the same time, to advise them as to what may be the best choice based on their clinical picture. | Why I entered medicine | During medical school, my toughest rotation was OB/GYN. I spent the most number of hours in the hospital and I slept the least, but it was the rotation that left me the most satisfied. I love the combination of medicine and surgery, and I find my role in women's health rewarding. | Community involvement | I volunteered during medical school and residency, helping at blood drives and free health screenings. | Personal interests | I spend time with my family, exploring our new neighborhood.

Philosophy of care | I consider myself an educator and facilitator. It’s my responsibility to help patients understand their condition, and guide them to make health care decisions in which they are comfortable and confident. | Why I entered medicine | I’ve always had a fascination with how the body works. I wouldn’t say that I chose to specialize in women’s health. It chose me. When I was a medical student, I was awestruck when I helped deliver a baby. When I deliver a baby today, I still am. Every patient and family I care for is a new experience, and I enjoy that very much. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my family. My wife, Anne Marie, also is an OB/GYN.

Philosophy of care | I consider myself a teacher as well as a doctor. I believe it’s critically important that women understand the “why” behind the health issues they face. Although the science can sometimes be complex, I always take time to explain in simple terms what is happening to their bodies and their treatment options. The more my patients know, the more actively they can participate in their own care. | Why I entered medicine | As a child I loved science. I also wanted to help people. And I had some personal medical issues that helped me understand what it’s like to be a patient. That’s why I always knew I would become a doctor. It seemed like the perfect combination of my interests and experience. It has been especially meaningful to be a gynecologist. I consider it a privilege to be a part of women’s lives and to be able to help them with complex medical and surgical issues. In many cases we discuss personal issues as well, and I’m honored my patients trust me with this aspect of their lives. | Personal interests | I want my patients to know I’m just like them. I am a wife, a mother of three teenaged daughters and a proud member of this community. I see my patients at the grocery store, the mall, at my children’s schools and at their sporting events. I’m at the same stage of life as my patients and face many of the same issues, both physical and personal. To relax and unwind, I enjoy spending time with family.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy is rooted in empathy and compassion. You are a unique individual with your own story, and my role is to listen deeply and understand your needs, both medical and emotional. I strive to create an environment where you feel safe and valued, empowering you to participate in your care decisions and express any concerns without fear of judgment. I still remember being nervous when first visiting the OB-GYN as a teenager, and that experience has shaped my approach to patient care. | Why I entered medicine | I was always most interested in science classes, leading me to a career in medicine. My passion for OB-GYN is rooted in my commitment to improving women's health and advocating for their well-being at every stage of life. | Personal interests | I spend most of my free time with my husband and family – family means everything to me.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy is to provide compassionate informative care such that a patient will be able to make informed decisions about her medical care. I hope to build solid relationship with my patients, and let this be the foundation of their care. | Why I entered medicine | I chose to go into the field of OB/GYN as it would allow me to help take care of women throughout their entire life spectrum of gynecology needs. From a personal standpoint, this field of medicine allows me to have a varied work day, from seeing patients in the office to being in the operating room to helping deliver babies, which I enjoy immensely. The best part of my job is to be able to bear witness and be a small part in helping bring life into this world. Being able to be a part of this process with the delivering mothers and their families is an amazing honor and privilege. | Community involvement | Before moving to the Lehigh Valley, I helped run a free medical clinic in Massachusetts and I was a volunteer EMT in Lancaster County. | Personal interests | I enjoy running after my 18-month-old nephew and my new rescue puppy.

Philosophy of care | Every patient has a story and a history that includes medical, personal and social information. As a physician, I can contribute to that story in positive ways with my medical knowledge and experience. I enjoy working with patients to better understand who they are and how I can add to their lives by improving health outcomes, from pregnancy to perimenopause and beyond. | Why I entered medicine | During my high school years, I worked as a nurse’s aide at a local nursing home. I loved the women that I met there and hearing their stories. Learning about their vibrant lives was humbling. After that experience, I knew that I wanted to pursue a “caring” profession. I was raised by my grandmother and great-grandmother and always had tremendous respect for women. I attended an all-women’s college and there I fell in love with the sciences. When I entered medical school, OB/GYN was an obvious choice where I could pursue a science I loved alongside female patients whom I respected and admired. | Personal interests | Spending time with family and friends, yoga, playing board games, reading, traveling and trying to keep my house clean!.
