Philosophy of care | I believe that physicians and their patients are partners that need to work together to promote health and wellness. My job is to educate my patients so that they fully understand why I make the recommendations I do, and also so that they are more comfortable and willing to take charge of their own health. In turn, I want my patients to be honest with me and openly share their concerns so that I can better understand their individual needs and so we can work together as a team. I want my office visits to be conversations. I am a people person and I want to get to know my patients and families on a personal level. I also want my patients to respect me as a person, too, and understand that I also go to doctor's visits and sometimes wait. I ask for patience when this happens at my office and know that I look forward to our visit together. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine because I have always had a passion to study and learn about the human body and mind. I have always had a desire to help patients and their families in times of both illness and health. This desire stemmed from growing up watching my grandfather, a very special family physician, care for and develop relationships with families for over 50 years. I was in awe that he was always a constant in the lives of so many families, and they counted on him and trusted him to guide them through some of their most challenging moments. I, too, wanted to have this type of relationship with patients, which is why I entered family medicine in particular. I wanted to care for patients and families of all ages, and continue to see them over the course of time, throughout all of the milestones in their lives - both good and bad. | Community involvement | I am a supporter of the Boys and Girls Club organization, and I recently ran a half marathon in the name of the American Cancer Society.

This experience gave me a better understanding of the medical profession, specifically the important role of the physician. The dedication of the hospital staff inspired me to become a doctor. | Personal interests | I enjoy reading, cooking and playing Wii Fit, as well as spending time with my husband and daughter.

Philosophy of care | I believe in providing holistic care to patients. Too often in medicine, patients are seen as their disease and not as a whole person. I try my best to treat patients as full human beings, and always consider their backgrounds, culture, surroundings and the people in their lives who helped shape them. That’s a major reason why I went into family medicine. By listening and getting to know patients, I get a full sense of who they are. The relationship and trust we build is extremely meaningful and valuable to me, and allows me to provide the best care I can. | Why I entered medicine | I’ve always had a passion for helping others in need. When I was younger, I watched my mother go through so much pain and suffering due to a serious medical condition. She was fortunate to meet a group of excellent physicians and surgeons who not only changed her life but also changed my life and enabled me to dream of becoming something I never imagined: a doctor. After my mother regained her physical function, she was beyond grateful that she could provide for her two children again. She brought so much positive energy to our family. These physicians gave us hope and a second chance. I learned that a doctor can positively impact multiple lives at once and not just one person’s life. Now I try to do the same for others and share those special moments with them. | Community involvement | During my residency I volunteered in schools giving kids sports physicals. I found I loved working with children, and I especially enjoy caring for babies. Now, in addition to my regular practice, I elect to spend time doing rounds in the hospital nursery working with newborns. It is part of what I love about family medicine – the continuity of care. You start with babies, and then begin caring for the entire family. You really get to know each individual over the course of their lives. | Personal interests | My husband and I are huge foodies, and we love exploring different restaurants and trying new foods in the area. When I’m not sampling the local cuisine, I enjoy cooking Korean food at home, which I learned from my mom. I also love watching movies and TV shows after a long day of work – mostly dramas and thrillers. It’s my little reward, and a great way to unwind and relax.

I also have a professional interest in integrative medicine and the use of complementary and alternative modalities within health care. | Why I entered medicine | I have a passion for health and wellness, and my interest in medicine was sparked when I completed my training as a yoga instructor. I began exploring what it means to be truly healthy, prevent disease and all of the ways in which we can attain health in our daily lives. My personal mission became to combine the physical sciences with complementary and alternative approaches to health care. | Community involvement | I was born and raised in Bethlehem, Pa., and have a passion for the health and wellness of our community. I currently sit on the Bethlehem Board of Health for the Bethlehem Health Bureau, and I am actively involved in community work within the city. | Personal interests | I believe in being a role model for living a healthy lifestyle and try to practice what I preach every day with regard to preventative care. In my free time I enjoy many forms of physical activity, such as running, hiking and long walks.
