Overview
Philosophy of care | My philosophy is to treat you as you would like to be treated. I give my patients ample time to discuss all their issues and make sure that when they leave their visit, their disease, their plan and their potential courses of action are clear. Also, I am a member of the genitourinary cancer multidisciplinary consultation team. Together we review your diagnostic information and give you a written opinion reflecting the scope of your condition and recommendations for your best course of care. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine to make a difference in the lives of people suffering from disease. I do that clinically and through research of novel concepts, devices and medications. | Community involvement | I am a member of the Leonard Pool Society, a philanthropic group for Lehigh Valley Health Network. I am also involved in organizing community information and screenings for urology. | Personal interests | I enjoy time with my family, rowing and participating in most water sports.

LVPG Urology-1250 Cedar Crest
Philosophy of care | The first thing a physician must do is to listen to his patient, allowing treatment of the person rather than just the diagnosis. I believe in a team approach when caring for patients that includes physicians from multiple specialties as well as physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists and others to provide the expertise and attention you deserve. | Why I entered medicine | Urology care incorporates several aspects of medicine. Although many patients require surgical management, others require medical management alone. Having all these tools, both operative and medical, makes the management of urologic patients challenging and interesting. My interest in urologic surgery also stems from the broad application of state-of-the-art technology. Whether it is robotic surgery, minimally invasive endourologic treatment of stones and tumors, or the latest treatment techniques for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BHP), I am proud to be able to offer these techniques. | Community involvement | I have participated in free prostate cancer screening clinics annually. | Personal interests | I enjoy the outdoors, fishing and hunting mostly, depending on the time of year. I also have a passion for food and love to cook. It's a shared passion with my wife, a chef by trade.
