    Philosophy of care | Treatment of my patients mirrors the osteopathic philosophy of treating the patient as a whole. Considerations must be made to a patient’s physical, mental and social situations to arrive at the best course of treatment and therefore the best possible outcome. | Why I entered medicine | Humans are inherently mobile creatures. Millions of years of adaptations to our environment have given us the ability to survive in the natural world. When we can’t move well, we become sick with chronic diseases and eventually succumb. I entered medicine with an interest only in orthopedic surgery. Preserving each patient’s ability to be mobile, to move and to experience the world without pain is my ultimate goal. | Community involvement | Over the years I have been involved with or supported multiple charities in the greater Hazleton area and abroad. Some include the Hazleton Integration Project, CanDo Community Foundation, Penn State University Hazleton Campus, United Charities, the Sanfilipo Foundation, Dancing with the Delaware Stars, Pennsylvania State Police and others. | Personal interests | I like being outdoors (hunting and fishing), youth athletics, anything with an engine, food and travel. | Image | Lehigh Valley Hospital is ranked 25th in the country for orthopedic care on the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list. Our team of more than 200 orthopedic specialists provide award-winning, nationally-recognized care with experience, expertise and leading-edge technology. |.

    Philosophy of care | My goal as your orthopedic surgeon is making sure you understand what is going on with your body and then discussing the evidence-based treatment available to help you. Taking my time to make sure my patients are comfortable and understand everything that is going on is a priority to me. I want to work with you as an individual to make a plan that is right for you. I strive to provide quality interventions and help return you back to your favorite activities as quickly and safely as possible. | Why I entered medicine | I enjoy educating and being an advocate for individuals. That plus my interest in the sciences and the human body made becoming a physician a great fit for me. It’s also been exciting: During residency I was an assistant physician to the Houston Texans, Houston Rockets, Houston Astros and Houston Dynamo professional teams. | Community involvement | I have participated in medical missions such as to Puerto Rico for Hurricane Maria disaster relief, and plan on continuing to be involved where there is need. Locally, I am the team orthopedic physician for East Stroudsburg University. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my wife, family and friends. I also enjoy traveling and playing tennis, golf and other outdoor sports. I am a proud father of two beautiful daughters. I speak fluent Spanish. | Image | Lehigh Valley Hospital is ranked 25th in the country for orthopedic care on the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list.

    Philosophy of care | I try to present all treatment options to you and then together we can reach a mutual decision as to your best course of treatment. | Why I entered medicine | Prior to becoming an orthopedic surgeon I was a civil engineer. I became an orthopedic surgeon as it allowed me to combine my interests in medicine, engineering and helping my fellow man. What I really enjoy about orthopedics is that most of our patients get better, and many of our patients are cured. | Community involvement | I have served as the president of the Bucks County Medical Society, and also as a delegate to the Pennsylvania Medical Society. | Personal interests | I like to spend time with my family, work on automobiles and enjoy time outdoors. | Image | Lehigh Valley Hospital is ranked 25th in the country for orthopedic care on the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list.

    What is the definition of Osteoarthritis?

    Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder. It is due to aging and wear and tear on a joint.

    When should I see an Osteoarthritis doctor near Lehighton, PA?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing an Osteoarthritis doctor near Lehighton, PA?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Osteoarthritis doctors near Lehighton, PA?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Osteoarthritis doctors near Lehighton, PA?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with an Osteoarthritis doctor near Lehighton, PA?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Osteoarthritis doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Osteoarthritis doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with an Osteoarthritis doctor near Lehighton, PA?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Osteoarthritis doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Osteoarthritis doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Osteoarthritis doctors near Lehighton, PA?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Osteoarthritis doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find an Osteoarthritis doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Osteoarthritis doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
