Victor A. King

Overview

Philosophy of care | I develop a strong therapeutic relationship with every patient to help them heal through their difficult times. | Why I entered medicine | My decision to enter medicine was inspired by my experiences with health care in my late teens and early adulthood. I discovered there is no greater sense of fulfillment than helping patients feel healthier, stronger and more confident in themselves through the treatment of complex surgical problems. | Community involvement | I served over 11 years in the U.S. military. I have also mentored numerous high-risk youths via after-school outreach programs, and participated in a surgical mission trip prior to moving to the Lehigh Valley. | Personal interests | I enjoy snowboarding in the winter and biking in the summer. I also love traveling with my significant other and visiting family and friends in various locations across the country. | Image | Lehigh Valley Hospital is ranked 25th in the country for orthopedic care on the 2025-2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals list. Our team of more than 200 orthopedic specialists provide award-winning, nationally-recognized care with experience, expertise and leading-edge technology. |.
