Overview
Philosophy of care | I believe in building a strong patient-physician relationship. Meaning I will provide you with all the information needed so that you feel comfortable making important decisions about your own care. Building trust is a two-way road. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine because I've always loved science and wanted to pursue a career which allowed me to make a difference for the community at large. I was always a shy kid growing up but I was always a good listener. Little did I know that the skill of listening to someone could help change his or her life for the better. | Community involvement | I grew up in the Lehigh Valley and I've always wanted to come back to the Lehigh Valley to train and to work as a way to give back to the community. | Personal interests | I enjoy cooking, hiking, exercising and spending time with family.

VHP Lehigh Valley Physicians Practice
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 Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Tension Headache. His top areas of expertise are Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young, Hypertension, and Familial Hypertension.
