Overview

Philosophy of care | My approach is built on a simple premise: partnership. When you step into my office, we begin by thoroughly understanding your unique medical history and health landscape. My goal is to work collaboratively with you, serving as an active guide on your health journey. | I believe in integrating targeted lifestyle modifications into every treatment plan, as these tools are essential for achieving better overall health and sustainable results. Ultimately, I am here to provide the expertise, tools, and personalized strategy you need to achieve your goals and significantly improve your quality of life. | Why I entered medicine | From an early age, I was drawn to the field of medicine. My academic success and deep interest in the sciences, particularly human physiology, fueled my desire to apply this knowledge to directly benefit others. The practice of medicine has proven to be a profoundly rewarding career path. After a period in Family Medicine, I transitioned to Obesity Medicine. This specialty choice was deeply personal and professionally motivated: having successfully managed my own significant weight loss—nearly 100 pounds—through medical management, I am uniquely positioned to guide and empower patients to achieve their health goals in this specialized area. | Community involvement | I am a member of the Obesity Medicine Association (OMA), The Obesity Society (TOS), American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), American Osteopathic Association (AOA), Pennsylvania Osteopathic Medical Association (POMA), and Association of Family Medicine Residency Directors (AFMRD). | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, watching movies, and spending time at the beach.
