Overview

Philosophy of care | My philosophy is to get you back to the activities you enjoy as quickly as possible. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine to improve the health and quality of life of my patients. I specialized in joint replacement and revision surgery because of the unique challenges present in treating arthritis and deformity and the potential to help someone walk and function again. | Community involvement | I am a member of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons, the American Academy of Orthopedics and the Pennsylvania Orthopedic Society. | Personal interests | I enjoy jazz and classical music, architecture and design, traveling, snowboarding, food and wine. | 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.
