"Philosophy of care | ""It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has."" – William Osler | This quote summarizes my philosophy of care perfectly; it is important to treat the patient, not the disease or the numbers on the monitor. If the disease is not dangerous and does not bother the person, the person does not necessarily need to be treated. I also believe in involving people in their medical care and their decisions. At the same time, I believe in personal responsibility and expect my patients to do their best with lifestyle choices. I tend to be conservative and will prefer a non-invasive treatment over a surgical one given the luxury of choice. My specialty, however, is surgical or procedure-based, and I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of complex procedures, especially when I know patients are going to feel better as a result. | Why I entered medicine | I struggled between medicine and engineering as a career choice. My parents are physicians and had a big influence on my decision. While they would have supported whatever I decided, I was most influenced by the positive impact their work had on many of their patients' lives. Twenty years later I do not regret my decision one bit. I especially enjoy the physician-patient relationship. I am interested not only in the patient's progress but also their overall lives. During my years of practice, some patients have graduated college, others have gotten married – and unfortunately, some have developed dementia and deteriorated. I remind myself life does go on for everyone, no matter their medical condition. | Community involvement | I support animal welfare charities, both local and national. I also feel it is important to donate toward grade school education of underprivileged children toward scholarships. | Personal interests | I enjoy skiing, gardening and golf.".

Philosophy of care | My philosophy revolves around the physician-patient relationship. This relationship must be a partnership. The physician and patient must listen, trust and respect each other. As physicians, we must get to know our patients to appropriately care and guide them in their health care journey. Medicine is not all about guidelines and algorithms. We treat the whole patient, and therefore, we need to tailor our decisions based upon each person's needs and circumstances.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy is to utilize state-of-the-art knowledge and care in a compassionate manner to treat the whole patient (body, mind and spirit). I picture myself as a motivator of patients for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. I feel strongly about the use of exercise and diet to support appropriate medical and therapeutic modalities and to help people live longer and have more fulfilling lives. As for the use of medication, my philosophy is to not be the first and to not be the last. I understand the financial strains of our population and prescribe generic drugs when ever possible. | Why I entered medicine | I had an interest in science and interacting with and helping people. My interest began in 10th grade biology at Liberty High School. I've always enjoyed interacting with people socially, on the athletic field and academically. I especially enjoy interacting with the patients of the Lehigh Valley where my roots are. I enjoy discussing all aspects of people's lives, which helps me to better treat the whole person. | Community involvement | I coached basketball and baseball for 15 years while my four children were involved in the Northeast Little League and Liberty High School sports programs. My wife and I are members of the First Presbyterian Church in Bethlehem.
