Overview
Philosophy of care | “What can I do for you?” is a philosophy I try to live by as I treat patients. I believe it is important to care for the whole patient, and not just their injury or illness. I also focus on prevention, in particular injury prevention, to keep people as healthy as possible, but if they are a patient, then I am very tuned in to any concerns they may have so we can address them as quickly as possible. | Why I entered medicine | Medicine was the perfect marriage of science, art and people. When I was in college at Rutgers, I was all set to become a research biochemist for a major corporation. That was until I noticed something was missing: people. I loved working with and helping people. Applying the science of medicine to people involves art, judgment and ethics, all of which I valued. So this was the perfect profession for me. | Community involvement | Most Sundays, you will find me at Asbury United Methodist Church. Just look in the choir loft. I love to sing. I also am a lay leader and member of church council. As a senator and chair of the Student Affairs Committee of the Rutgers University Senate, I am able to give back to my alma mater and future generations of students. With four children in sports and activities from college to elementary recreation leagues and clubs, I am very active with deep roots here in the Lehigh Valley. | Personal interests | I love music. Singing and playing guitar have been a part of my life since elementary school. I am an avid sports fan, enjoying both to watch and play. Most important of all is my family. I enjoy spending as much time as I can with them and try to make as many of their events, games and concerts as my schedule will allow.
