    "Philosophy of care | I want to get to know you, first as a person, not as a patient. I want to know what kind of work you do, what sports you play, and what hobbies/extracurricular activities you enjoy. I will then take your medical history, my physical exam, and diagnostic studies to come up with a diagnosis. I will teach you about your problem and the most up-to-date treatment options, including what tends to work (and not work). I will help you improve and reach an outcome you are pleased with through mutual decision-making, making sure to exhaust all non-operative measures. As partners, we weigh the risks and benefits of various options and choose a plan we are both happy with. If the answer is surgery, I will help you through the process and be with you every step of the way on your recovery. I treat all patients like family, but also use the scientific orthopedic literature to help guide the decision-making process. | Why I entered medicine | I grew up in Florida and my father was an ophthalmologist (and original Tampa Bay Rays eye doctor). With my mother being a nurse, I was always exposed to medicine. I saw my parents helping people and was inspired to pursue medicine as a career. That, plus my love for sports, sciences, biomechanics and anatomy, led me toward orthopedics. It's very rewarding to help people get their function, motion and quality of life back. As a collegiate baseball player, I was drawn to the anatomy, biomechanics, and function of the upper extremity, and how to rehab and treat the common injuries. As the team hand surgeon for many local high schools, colleges and professional teams, I understand what it takes to get you ""back on the field."" | Community involvement | I have worked with local high school students interested in health care and led them through several upper extremity cadaver dissections. I am also the team hand surgeon for many local high schools, Lehigh University, Kutztown University and Muhlenberg College to name a few. I am the hand surgeon for the American Hockey League - Lehigh Valley Phantoms. In my spare time, I coach Little League baseball in the South Parkland Youth Association. | Personal interests | Professionally, I enjoy teaching our next generation of physicians: high school students, medical students and plastic surgery residents, in the office and the OR. | Personally, I enjoy traveling, the beach, all four seasons the Lehigh Valley has to offer, and spending time with my wife and four children. I am often a part-time chauffeur for my kids' activities, as well as a Little League baseball coach. | 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. | ".

    Philosophy of care | I try to provide compassionate and patient-centered care. I treat you and every patient as if you are a family member. | Why I entered medicine | In school I had a scientific curiosity and especially liked biology, physiology and physics. But, like many orthopedic surgeons, I got into the profession through sports – playing high school football. Also, a good friend’s father was an orthopedic surgeon, and his work sounded mentally and physically challenging as well as rewarding. I’ve built a career on the intricacies of the hand and am gratified to help patients return to work and recreation after their injuries. | Personal interests | I enjoy the outdoors, snowboarding, going to the gym and sharing a great Italian meal and bottle of wine with my wife. I also enjoy long bicycle rides through the park with my two daughters. | 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.

    When should I see a Hand Surgeon in Pennsylvania, US?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Hand Surgeon in Pennsylvania, US?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Hand Surgeons in Pennsylvania, US?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Hand Surgeons in Pennsylvania, US?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Hand Surgeon in Pennsylvania?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Hand Surgeon search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Hand Surgeon?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Hand Surgeon in Pennsylvania, US?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Hand Surgeon?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Hand Surgeon may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Hand Surgeons in Pennsylvania, US?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Hand Surgeon search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers.
