Philosophy of care | My job is to save the lives of patients with aortic aneurysms, to prevent strokes in patients with carotid artery disease and to avert amputation in patients with impaired blood flow to their extremities. However, what I treasure in my job is the relationship with patients and their families, developed sometimes over years and sometimes quickly during a challenging time in their lives. I always remember that patients like you who seek out my expertise are people – with jobs, lives, hobbies, families and compelling personal stories. I enjoy hearing those stories and playing a role in caring for those individuals. | Why I entered medicine | Honestly, I wasn't very good at physics. After studying physics and engineering as an undergraduate at Haverford College and as a graduate student at the University of Virginia, I figured out somewhat serendipitously that I was good at surgery and enjoyed caring for patients. Vascular surgery is intellectually engrossing and technically challenging. | Community involvement | My wife Oksana and I support the YMCA, and three generations of Jacksons have attended a YMCA summer camp in Rhode Island. Because Oksana is of Ukrainian heritage, we support a number of humanitarian causes in that country. | Personal interests | My family and I enjoy hiking and camping (Indian Garden Campground at the Grand Canyon is my favorite campsite).

"Philosophy of care | Finding health, not disease, is my goal. I look forward to discussing with you the six pillars of lifestyle medicine: Nutrition (eating whole foods). Sleep (seven to nine hours). Exercise (movement is medicine). Stress (harness it for better living). Risky substances (ways to avoid them). Relationships (seek strong social connections). | Why I entered medicine | The human being is a wonderful, complex, miraculous creation, and I have had a long-standing interest in health and healing. But medicine is my second career – I first worked as a chemical engineer. Today I apply to the practice of medicine those experiences in problem-solving, root cause analysis and process optimization. Rather than simply prescribing you another medicine to treat a symptom, I prefer to understand the root cause and, if possible, eliminate it. | Community involvement | I am excited to participate in the Lehigh Valley Blue Zones Project. I am so glad Lehigh Valley Health Network has made the choice to partner with Blue Zones to transform the health of our region in ""Making the healthy choice the easy choice."" | Personal interests | I enjoy pursuing a healthy lifestyle and sharing that passion with others.

Philosophy of care | I went into primary care because I love developing relationships with my patients. I believe in listening to them and including them in their care. I want patients to understand the why and the how of their healthcare so they can make educated decisions that have a positive impact on their lives. | Why I entered medicine | My father was a doctor, and I grew up in a medical household. I always had a passion for taking care of people, but my early plans were to go into social work, not medicine. Somewhere along the way, though, I realized how much my father loved what he did. I recognized that becoming a doctor would allow me to make a profound difference in people’s lives, and I decided to follow in his footsteps. | Community involvement | Being an active participant in my community is vitally important to me.

We meet once a month to talk about books—and anything else that inevitably comes up. I also get together regularly with friends to play mah-jongg (a game using tiles that was developed in China). At home, I love spending time with my husband, two teenage kids and my two dogs. I credit the dogs with keeping me in shape; we log a couple of miles every day, rain or shine, hot or cold. My other happy place is any quiet stretch of beach along the Jersey shore. You’ll find me there whenever I can get away (sitting under an umbrella with my sunscreen on, of course!).
