Overview
"Philosophy of care | My philosophy is rooted in making sure you and your family have a complete and transparent understanding of both the treatment and the goals of care. It is paramount everyone is ""on the same page"" – whether it is an easy or a hard conversation to have. I truly believe in ""shared decision-making"" between clinicians and their patients. Doing what is right for you includes listening to what you want. | Why I entered medicine | Between my wife's family and my own, I come from a long line of physicians and advanced care clinicians. I grew up watching my parents, both internal medicine physicians, care for patients in small communities in northeastern Pennsylvania. I was instantly drawn to the lifestyle and the idea of doing my part to keep folks healthy and happy for generations. | Community involvement | I am always looking for ways to become more involved in the community. I have volunteered at soup kitchens, Meals on Wheels and church events, as well as community screening events for student athletes in the Philadelphia area. | Personal interests | I am a ""car guy"" through and through. My love of automobiles started as early as I can remember, and I love sharing my passion with my children. I also love building Lego sets (mostly cars) and watching Formula 1 racing. I have a passion for photography as well.".
