Overview
Philosophy of care | I believe in taking care of you as a whole, investing in your emotional well-being as well as treating your physical ailment. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine because I wanted to help people. I have always found medicine and science fascinating, and the more I learned, the more I wanted to know. Gastroenterology is by far the most interesting specialty to me, and with the variety of pathology we see, it is never boring. | Community involvement | I routinely participate in local Step Beyond Celiac 5K events to raise money for celiac disease research, and have spoken at local PA gluten free expos. My personal and professional passion is to raise awareness for and to focus on patient education for celiac disease. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my son, daughter and husband, and enjoy improving on my gluten-free cooking skills.
