Integrated Surgical Specialists
Philosophy of care | I treat all my patients as if they are family. I believe in the importance of connecting with you and giving you important and accurate information regarding your condition so we can make an educated and well-thought-out decision as a team. I understand there is no one-size-fits-all approach to a diagnosis and treatment, so I tailor my treatment plans to your goals and lifestyle. | Why I entered medicine | When I broke my ankle in the 2006 state championship game for Pottsville Area High School, I was abruptly introduced to the field of medicine. From the emergency department to the operating room to physical therapy, it all was so new and exciting. I greatly appreciated all the medical professionals who played a part in my care and that appreciation drew me to the field of medicine. I remember thinking if I could provide the same level of care to my patients, what a rewarding feeling that must be. Fortunately, I was right. The feeling of helping a patient drives me daily and keeps me motivated. | Community involvement | As natives of Schuylkill County, my wife and I recently moved back to help serve the area. We both felt very strongly about giving back to a community that gave so much to us. Our initial goals have been to garner a strong trust within the community and build from there, which we think and hope we are working toward. | Personal interests | Outside of medicine my interests are hiking with my wife and our two golden retrievers, physical and mental fitness/meditation, watching college and professional football, photography, travel and collecting rare and allocated whiskeys. Dr. Cicero is highly rated in 3 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Tendinitis, Synovitis, Bunions, and High Arch.
