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. Dr. Johannes is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). His top areas of expertise are Perirenal Abscess, Boils, Kidney Stones, Ureteroscopy, and Prostatectomy.

Philosophy of care | Attention to detail is the philosophy best suited for urology. Each of the many facets of your patient history – physical exam, lab tests and radiologic studies – apply in providing you care. I treat patients as one treats a family member – with love, consideration, patience and understanding. | Why I entered medicine | Medicine is a field that allows you to take care of God's most precious gift – life. I find urology a particularly interesting and all-encompassing specialty. I am involved in every aspect of patient care, starting with diagnosis, medical and perhaps surgical treatment, and lifelong follow-up. Urologists treat a variety of disease processes involving organs such as prostate, kidney, bladder, testicles, penis and urethra. | Community involvement | I have gone on medical missions to Brazil, the Philippines and Haiti to help people in dire need of medical attention. I also have worked with underserved populations for the past five years and learned about the many obstacles they face regarding receiving health care. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my children, golfing, cooking, working out and going to restaurants with my wife. Dr. Georges is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). His top areas of expertise are Obstructive Uropathy, Hydronephrosis, Bilateral Hydronephrosis, Ureteroscopy, and Prostatectomy.

Philosophy of care | Urology involves complex, personal issues, so I listen carefully to you prior to devising your treatment plan. Also, I am a member of a genitourinary cancer multidisciplinary consultation team. Together we review patients' diagnostic information and provide written opinions reflecting conditions and recommendations for care. | Why I entered medicine | My mother became ill when I was in college, and that’s what inspired me to become a physician. I chose to specialize in urologic oncology to help patients find healing where there was suffering. | Community involvement | I have helped conduct annual prostate cancer education and free prostate cancer screenings in the community. | Personal interests | I have two young children. My free time involves spending quality time with them at museums, aquariums or wherever our family can have fun. Dr. Feliciano is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). His top areas of expertise are Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer, Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Ureteroscopy, and Nephrectomy.

Philosophy of care | I keep the best clinical interest of each patient at the heart of what I do, just as I would for a friend, relative or member of my immediate family. “Best interest” doesn’t always mean doing surgery or a procedure but providing the best treatment course given the patient’s personality, economic situation and other factors. It’s all about developing a personalized and tailored plan. Medicine should not be done according to a generalized template. | Why I entered medicine | Medicine was a fairly personal choice for me because my family has seen its fair share of care from the patient side. My dad is a two-time kidney transplant recipient, and seeing him go through all his trials and tribulations while having both great and not-so-great doctors was my impetus to go to medical school and specifically become a urologist. There’s a great shortage of urologists and I wanted to help fill that gap, and because of my dad I’ve always been fascinated with the genitourinary system. But beyond that, what greater service could I perform than being the same kind of physician who cared for my father when he needed it most? My dad is actually a patient of our practice, and I see this as a great honor and a way of giving back some of what he’s sacrificed for me. His experience also allows me to deliver empathetic and pragmatic care because I empathize with what patients are going through. | Community involvement | I’m a Lehigh Valley local – I was born here and brought up in the Coplay and East Penn school districts, was an undergraduate at Lehigh University. I know this area, its culture and where to go for a bite to eat, and specifically wanted to come back to the Lehigh Valley after medical school to care for local folks. I love the Lehigh Valley, feel a kindred spirit with people here, enjoy my roots and want to be near my family. I do charity work through my temple but am also developing plans for urology outreach in underserved countries like India or an African country. | Personal interests | I was an engineering undergraduate and enjoy building model planes and rockets with my kids. Apart from spending time with my family, I enjoy reading, am an avid bicyclist and skier, and am learning to pick up golf. And urology is my hobby as well as my career. It’s not work for me, it’s fun, so I enjoy learning more about it in my free time and becoming as good as I possibly can. Dr. Gupta is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). His top areas of expertise are Kidney Stones, Boils, Urinary Tract Infection in Children, Ureteroscopy, and Prostatectomy.

Philosophy of care | I like to focus on patient education. When patients are educated on their disease process, it empowers them. Patient participation and empowerment means they can share their opinions, knowledge, experience and expectations with health professionals to make informed decisions. This can only improve satisfaction with the care they are receiving. | Why I entered medicine | I'm a people person. I started in an engineering career but switched to medicine because I wanted to help people and form long-lasting relationships with them. I find this much more rewarding than sitting at a desk all day in front of a computer. | Community involvement | I have a son with autism. I am involved in local autism groups and volunteer for the Special Olympics. | Personal interests | I love to cook and make most of the meals for my family. I enjoy exercising daily. I love to ski, hike and travel. I am an avid Formula One fan and enjoy traveling to one race each year.

Philosophy of care | My goal is to prevent disease and treat existing conditions while improving your quality of life. I also believe in a whole-person approach to care because your quality of life is much more than a diagnosis – it includes your passions, family, friends, mental and physical health, as well as your future goals. I believe that by collaborating and working together, we can help you achieve your goals and improve your wellness. I am particularly interested in the dynamic interactions between family members and how to help families grow healthy and strong together. | Why I entered medicine | Very early in my life as a mother, I witnessed the powerful impact that physicians play in the experience of life and death for their patients. It inspired me to become a doctor so that I could positively impact lives around me. Also, I knew that whatever profession I pursued, I wanted to both provide an example of service to my young children, and feel that time spent away from them was contributing to something greater than myself. | Community involvement | I spend time volunteering and contributing to local family wellness. I do this through fund/resource raising for local charities, volunteering my time in parenting support classes, working with local diaper banks, and visiting elementary schools to teach children about wellness. | Personal interests | My husband and I are blessed to have three sons ranging from toddler to teenager.

Philosophy of care | I want to help people live their best life. | Why I entered medicine | My family comes from a combination of cultures.

Due to the political environment in Venezuela, I later chose to move to a country that cherishes freedom. | Personal interests | I enjoy my family, reading history, languages, swimming, scuba diving and playing tennis.
