    Philosophy of care | I believe all patients have the right to understand and make their own health decisions. I will spend time explaining your situation and your treatment options in an easy-to-understand way.

I make recommendations but strongly believe in your right to make your own decisions. When you come to see me, you will get information, not a lecture. | Why I entered medicine | At age 6 I went to work with my mother, an operating room nurse, on Take Your Daughter to Work Day. I had the opportunity to watch an aneurysm repair and never looked back. I've spent my entire life working in hospitals, from candy striping to being a vascular surgeon today. I consider it a great privilege to help people in this way and I'm grateful to my mom for opening this door to me so early. | Community involvement | My family includes several rescue pets, and we are longtime supporters of the organizations that rescued them. Nowadays, we spend most of our time supporting our two young children in their activities. | Personal interests | Most nights after the kids are asleep, you can find me in my quilting studio.

    "Philosophy of care | It is rewarding to help people cope with the unknown - and sometimes life-threatening - illnesses. It is especially rewarding because we have increasingly sophisticated tools to diagnose and treat infections. | Why I entered medicine | A career in infectious diseases is challenging, exciting and hard work. Using training, intellect and the resources of modern medicine, I have the opportunity to help patients, families and communities deal with often frightening illnesses. Recent decades have seen the emergence of AIDS, SARS, Avian Flu, MRSA and dozens of ""mystery"" illnesses, which demonstrates the need to have some of the brightest and dedicated physicians go into the field of infectious diseases. | Community involvement | I participate in the Lehigh Valley's Bioterrorism Preparedness and the Pandemic Influenza Preparedness groups. | Personal interests | When not working I enjoy bike riding and swimming".

    What is the definition of Osteomyelitis?

    Osteomyelitis is a bone infection. It is caused by bacteria or other germs.

    When should I see an Osteomyelitis doctor near Bethlehem, 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 Osteomyelitis doctor near Bethlehem, 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 Osteomyelitis doctors near Bethlehem, 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 Osteomyelitis doctors near Bethlehem, 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 Osteomyelitis doctor near Bethlehem, 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 Osteomyelitis doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Osteomyelitis 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 Osteomyelitis doctor near Bethlehem, 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 Osteomyelitis 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 Osteomyelitis 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 Osteomyelitis doctors near Bethlehem, PA?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Osteomyelitis 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 Osteomyelitis doctor that offers video calls?

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