Philosophy of care | I enjoy partnering with patients and their families to navigate care systems and, if necessary, align needs and strategies for complex care. My goal is to learn your goals, so we can find the best medical approach for you. I believe health happens in the home and in the communities, so I provide medical care in that context. I am passionate about empowering patients to build health through appropriate nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management. I also try to reduce the medication burden by simplifying or de-prescribing medications when possible. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine after my own experiences helping loved ones navigate health care with complex conditions. The experience sparked my passion for helping the community navigate health care and for managing and treating chronic conditions. | Community involvement | I love being part of the community, buying local produce at the farmers market, participating in events at the local library and theater, and joining in local cycling events on my bike. | Personal interests | I enjoy exploring all the outdoor spaces the Lehigh Valley has to offer through hiking, biking and paddleboarding. I also like tinkering with computers and reading at home when the weather discourages being outdoors. Dr. Nichols is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Vaginal Dryness.

Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine because of my interests in science and in opportunities to help people. I chose to specialize in obstetrics and gynecology because it allows me to participate in important milestones in the lives of women. As in other aspects of my life, I always strive to treat others the way I would want to be treated. I feel honored each day to be trusted to help women stay healthy, listen and counsel them about their medical conditions, and treat their ailments.

"Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is basic: treat patients as I would want to be treated or as I would want my family to be treated. To me, this means being honest, open, always providing evidence-based medicine, and helping patients become active members in their healthcare. I also bring a unique interest in ""integrative medicine,"" which is the use of safe complementary or alternative medicine to aid in traditional patient care. In all circumstances, my focus is to recommend only evidence-based use of alternative treatments in the very best interests of my patients. | Why I entered medicine | I love the career continuity and satisfaction that being an obstetrician/gynecologist provides. It allows me to develop long-term relationships with women from adolescence, through the childbearing years, to menopause and beyond. Through medicine and particularly in the field of ob/gyn, I can provide primary care services, and family planning services, and then be the doctor who delivers your baby or operates on you should you require a gynecologic surgery. The fact that I provide minimally invasive surgery to reduce a patient’s time in the hospital is a satisfying experience I can offer to patients. It means a lot to me that I can be the same physician who cares for you and the female members of your family for most of your lives. | Personal interests | My greatest passion is families—my own family and having the privilege of helping others start to build their families.".

Philosophy of care | One of the most important things to me is educating patients about gynecologic and obstetric care, which often includes talking about what is normal and not normal. I like to talk with patients in a conversational way that allows them to feel involved in their care. I generally want patients to lead the visit and talk about what’s most important to them, as opposed to me talking about what I think is most important. That’s part of what patient-centered care is about – having patients advocate for their own health care and having doctors respond to patients’ main concerns. | Why I entered medicine | I always loved science as kid and was exposed to medicine through my mom, who is a nurse, and two sisters who are also physicians. I tried to consider other science-related careers but always came back to medicine—I almost couldn’t get away from doing it. I became interested in obstetrics and gynecology when my older sister was an OB-GYN resident but really fell in love with it in my own third-year rotation. No other specialty was as exciting and interesting to me as OB-GYN. | Community involvement | I’m part of the Pennsylvania Medical Society, but on a more local level, I feel a real connection to the community from having delivered babies. Because I live in the area, I see plenty of patients whose children I delivered, and it’s always nice to run into them at the grocery, school, daycare – just about anywhere. It’s fun to watch babies I delivered grow, and to have parents tell their kids that I helped bring them into the world. | Personal interests | Outside of work, most of my time is taken up by activities with my kids. I do like to run and have done multiple races, including a few half marathons. Some of these are charitable events, and one that I do annually is the Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure, which supports the fight against breast cancer. I also like to travel, especially to warm and sunny places like Florida or the Bahamas. Dr. Reed is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Vaginal Dryness. Her top areas of expertise are Vaginal Cysts, Vaginal Dryness, Fetal Enterovirus Syndrome, Salpingo-Oophorectomy, and Intrauterine Device Insertion.

Philosophy of care | I consider myself an educator and facilitator. It’s my responsibility to help patients understand their condition, and guide them to make health care decisions in which they are comfortable and confident. | Why I entered medicine | I’ve always had a fascination with how the body works. I wouldn’t say that I chose to specialize in women’s health. It chose me. When I was a medical student, I was awestruck when I helped deliver a baby. When I deliver a baby today, I still am. Every patient and family I care for is a new experience, and I enjoy that very much. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my family. My wife, Anne Marie, also is an OB/GYN. We met during our residency at Lehigh Valley Health Network. We have a son and daughter and like to travel as a family. I also enjoy being outdoors swimming, biking, hiking and golfing.

Philosophy of care | I strongly support patient autonomy. I see part of my job as providing information, discussing treatment options and helping women make choices they feel is best for them. Supporting my patients' informed decisions is integral. I give my patients the advice I want my wife, mother and daughter to receive from their gynecologists. I'm compassionate and practice evidence-based medicine. | Why I entered medicine | Obstetrics and gynecology provides an opportunity to practice lifelong continuity, preventive medicine, primary care and medical-surgical treatment. Sharing the experience of childbirth with a family is tremendously rewarding. | Community involvement | I spent a total of 12 years in the U.S. Army, eight of those years as an OB/GYN. The leadership and training I received were invaluable and provided me with a solid foundation. Along with other LVHN heath care providers, I have visited Haiti twice in 2017 working with The Haiti Health Trust. I also participate in the Haiti Medical Education project and video-lecture medical and nursing students as well as OBGYN residents throughout Haiti. | Personal interests | In my spare time, I do whatever my kids ask me to do. If I were not practicing medicine, I would be a tornado chaser or auditioning for the E Street Band. Becoming a super-delegate would also have perks.

Philosophy of care | I believe in informed choices when counseling my patients. I believe my role is an educator, to make sure my patients are aware of all the different options available to them - and, at the same time, to advise them as to what may be the best choice based on their clinical picture. | Why I entered medicine | During medical school, my toughest rotation was OB/GYN. I spent the most number of hours in the hospital and I slept the least, but it was the rotation that left me the most satisfied. I love the combination of medicine and surgery, and I find my role in women's health rewarding. | Community involvement | I volunteered during medical school and residency, helping at blood drives and free health screenings. | Personal interests | I spend time with my family, exploring our new neighborhood. We visit our extended family in New York and New Jersey. In a quiet moment (not very many), I love reading Shakespeare.

Philosophy of care | My main goal is to treat every patient as a person with kindness and respect. I’m passionate about preventative care and educating patients about lifestyle changes that help people live longer, healthier and happier lives. I like to take a holistic approach that includes diet, exercise and helping the body heal itself, as opposed to just using medications. I prescribe them when necessary, but a lot of chronic conditions can be improved or prevented with lifestyle changes alone. I think the extra time I spend counseling and educating patients about caring for their bodies is definitely worth it to their health and well-being. | Why I entered medicine | My grandfather was a physician with his own practice. He had a passion for medicine that I believe was passed on to me. He just loved caring for patients and getting to know them. He literally took care of whole families, delivering babies and caring for each family member throughout their entire lives – a true family practitioner. I saw from a young age how rewarding a career in medicine could be. Fortunately, I found that I really enjoyed studying the sciences. Biology was my favorite subject in high school, and I majored in it in college. I took a year off before applying to medical school to work for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. I triaged all patient phone calls and handled OR scheduling. It wasn’t a clinical role, but working closely with patients showed me without a doubt that I wanted to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps. | Community involvement | I have two small children who take a lot of my time when I’m not working, so I give to the community when I can. In college I volunteered with an organization called Dress for Success that helps homeless women dress for job interviews. During my residency, I volunteered at high schools and colleges giving sports physicals. I was a competitive figure skater when I was younger, so I love working with young athletes, talking to them about preventing injuries and staying in peak condition. It’s truly a joy watching them achieve their highest athletic goals. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my two kids and my husband. We like being active outdoors, going for walks as a family and exploring the area. I still skate for fun, and also stay in shape by practicing yoga and spinning (riding a stationary bike). My kitchen is another happy place for me. I love baking and cooking Italian food. My grandparents were born in the United States but met in Rome where my grandfather went to medical school and my grandmother worked for the American embassy. I grew up hearing all about Italian culture and cuisine. In my quieter moments, there’s nothing like a good novel. I’ve always enjoyed losing myself in a book more than watching TV. It’s a wonderful escape and a great way to unwind. Dr. Stockhausen is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Vaginal Dryness.
