Overview
Philosophy of care | My purpose as a physician is to use faith, hope and love through medicine to help others as much as possible, specifically those with lung conditions. My passion is to help each person understand their condition and guide them on the best path of treatment. I make health problems easier to understand for patients and their family members. If no further treatment is available, I help navigate end-of-life discussions and when to focus more on symptom relief. I want every person to feel loved and cared for, whether through treatments that can be provided, an encouraging word or a healing touch. | Why I entered medicine | I have always believed I was meant to be a physician. The field of medicine is one of the ways I am able to help others. | Community involvement | I truly want to help my community, especially during disaster relief or other crisis situations. My wife and I have a non-profit organization and hope to bring faith, hope and love to the world. | Personal interests | I love to spend time with my wife and family, listen to church, cook, do housework, and go to the beach when able to. | Image | Lehigh Valley Hospital is ranked 42th for pulmonology and lung surgery on the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list. |.
