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). My kids play a lot of soccer, and some baseball and softball, so I've become a student of those games. We're pretty dedicated Philadelphia Union fans. Dr. Jackson is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is that candor builds trust between you as the patient and me as your surgeon. Modern medicine is increasingly complex. You can only make good decisions for your own health if you understand the options, including frank discussions of the potential risks and benefits. When I meet with patients and their families, I employ a variety of methods to explain medical terminology and surgical procedures, such as sketching anatomy diagrams. You deserve to feel clear about your alternatives, secure in your decisions and confident in the skills of our entire health care team. | Why I entered medicine | Something can be a cliche and still be true: I wanted to help people. I come from a family of engineers, but I was drawn to the possibility of directly impacting individuals. I enjoy challenges and constantly learning new things. I like being face-to-face with patients and knowing my career is meaningful. It's also gratifying to be able to help my extended family navigate the health care system. | Community involvement | The causes that are most important to me are food insecurity, environmental protection and restoration, and voting rights. I also actively support my school-age children in their sports and other extracurricular community activities. | Personal interests | My current primary hobby is building bicycles and maintaining/modifying them for our family. We also enjoy hiking and playing board games together, and I am an adventurous eater and home cook.

Philosophy of care | As a physician, my primary responsibility is to provide patients with the best care possible. To do so, it's important to treat each patient with respect and listen carefully to their concerns and include them when formulating a treatment plan. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine due to a deep-seated desire to make a positive impact on the lives of others. I was initially a nurse, which was very rewarding – I enjoyed the responsibility of helping to care for the sick and vulnerable. I then decided to attend medical school after working with physicians and seeing the various ways they help patients. | Personal interests | I enjoy traveling and have visited several countries in Europe, Asia and Africa.

Philosophy of care | I like to gab with my patients. Good medicine takes time. Each individual is extraordinarily complex. You have a spirit, a personality, societal pressures - all these different factors play a role in a person's health. I try to account for all of it. I think there's an extraordinary untapped potential in the therapeutic value of the patient-physician relationship. I look to release the power of that relationship. In casual conversation, you can learn a lot about someone and share something about yourself. A better relationship means better care for the patient. I'm interested in preventive care – diet, sleep, alcohol, smoking and cancer prevention. For a person to change his or her personal way of life is one of the most difficult things. I ask my patients if they're ready, and then I go as far as I can with them and give them the resources they need. | Why I entered medicine | I was a professional musician – a guitarist. But I soon discovered I was not so musical! I was only able to go so far. Medicine is a DeHoff family tradition. There are medical diplomas in my family going back to the Civil War: my father, my grandfather and my great-great-grandfather - this goes way back! It's a very important role to play in people's lives. It's more mainstream and more stable than my music career. It also has more opportunities to help people. | Community involvement | I sometimes perform jazz guitar in the Lehigh Valley. | Personal interests | I like a simple life and enjoying the moments of every day. My wife sells old and rare books. We enjoy hunting for books together at book stores and yard sales. Over the years, I have been assembling a comprehensive collection of books on medical history. I also enjoy collecting vinyl records, mostly American jazz records, and playing jazz guitar. Dr. Dehoff is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Peripheral Artery Disease.

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. I sit on the board of the B’nai B’rith Housing Corporation in Allentown, a residence for seniors and those with mobility impairments. I also volunteer regularly at my synagogue and serve on many committees. It’s all part of supporting people around me who’ve given me so much. | Personal interests | Reading fiction is one of my favorite pastimes. I’m in a book group of women I’ve known for 20 years. 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!).

Her top areas of expertise are Melorheostosis, Melorheostosis with Osteopoikilosis, Osteopenia, and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).

"Philosophy of care | I believe in treating all patients with dignity and respect. It starts with the doctor-patient relationship, which is based on communication. I strive to listen to patients and understand their background and values in order to tailor treatment to help them achieve their goals in health care as well as life. Health is determined by social and spiritual factors, and not solely physical parameters. | Why I entered medicine | I chose the career of medicine because I love science and I love people. Medicine provides the opportunity to build relationships over time and affect change in people's lives. | Community involvement | I am very involved with my local church. I have volunteered at the Allentown Rescue Mission's free clinic run by DeSales University. | Personal interests | I spend most of my ""free"" time with my family enjoying the outdoors and sports.
