Overview

Philosophy of care | I firmly believe in performing high-quality and evidence-based spine interventions. I use a multidisciplinary approach to managing your pain, including physical therapy, medication, lifestyle modification and minimally invasive procedures. I evaluate and treat patients who have painful and disabling neurological and musculoskeletal disorders. | Why I entered medicine | My family and I emigrated to the United States from Ukraine when I was only 7 years old. Our move followed an automobile accident that took the life of my father and left my mother critically ill. I watched for years as she battled one disability after another with the help of astonishing physicians. Even at that young age there was nothing I wanted to do more than help patients such as my mom gain their function and life back. Going to medical school seemed like the correct choice. | Community involvement | During the past several years of work in Pennsylvania I have been involved in programs that educate people in the community about different disease processes and possible treatment options. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my wonderful young family. Traveling with family and friends is my favorite pastime. Personal hobbies include painting, art appreciation and theater. I've been a New Yorker since childhood, so Broadway shows are a large part of my life. | Image | Lehigh Valley Hospital is ranked 25th in the country for orthopedic care on the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list. Our team of more than 200 orthopedic specialists provide award-winning, nationally-recognized care with experience, expertise and leading-edge technology. |.
