Overview
Philosophy of care | I believe excellent care extends beyond the operating room, beginning with meaningful connections built on trust, respect and open communication. I am dedicated to empowering you through clear education and shared decision-making that honors your individual values and goals. By aligning medical expertise with patient priorities, I aim to provide care that fosters healing, confidence and lasting quality of life – guiding each person toward achieving their best self. | Why I entered medicine | As someone long fascinated by science and inspired by working closely with people, I found medicine to be the perfect way to bring those passions together. I grew up near the Lehigh Valley and find it especially meaningful to return as a surgeon and serve the community. I strive to help patients understand their health, partner with them in their care and use surgery to make a tangible difference in their lives. | Personal interests | I enjoy cooking and baking, being outdoors, traveling and quality time with my family and dog.
