Philosophy of care | My philosophy revolves around optimizing quality of life through minimally invasive options. I was fortunate during my training to work with nationally recognized surgeons, leading to experience in complex gynecologic care and allowing me to be an early adopter of minimally invasive options. Such advances give patients same-day options that allow them to return to their busy lives faster. I have advocated in many hospital systems for laparoscopy, robotics, minimally invasive procedures for incontinence and office-based procedures. Minimal pain, faster recovery and cutting-edge technology is the platform for all my patient care. Many are not aware that a simple solution exists for what is often an embarrassing topic to discuss. | Why I entered medicine | As a child, I was inspired by my father, who practiced medicine.

Together, we can then make decisions that are truly in the patient's best interests. | Why I entered medicine | My parents tell me that I've wanted to be a doctor since I was 4 years old. My pediatrician was most influential. She was gentle and caring, including me in everything she did. I loved using her stethoscope and looking in her ears. I remember wanting to be just like her. I entered medical school planning to be a pediatrician but found myself drawn to obstetrics. There was something very special about caring for pregnant women and being part of their nine-month journey. It was my natural path. | Community involvement | I am active in my church, and I participate in many activities that support children and families, such as Toys for Tots, the March of Dimes walk and community clothing drives. | Personal interests | When I am not working, I love to spend time with my husband and two young daughters.

Philosophy of care | I consider myself an educator and facilitator. It’s my responsibility to help patients understand their condition, and guide them to make health care decisions in which they are comfortable and confident. | Why I entered medicine | I’ve always had a fascination with how the body works. I wouldn’t say that I chose to specialize in women’s health. It chose me. When I was a medical student, I was awestruck when I helped deliver a baby. When I deliver a baby today, I still am. Every patient and family I care for is a new experience, and I enjoy that very much. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my family. My wife, Anne Marie, also is an OB/GYN.

Philosophy of care | One of the most important things to me is educating patients about gynecologic and obstetric care, which often includes talking about what is normal and not normal. I like to talk with patients in a conversational way that allows them to feel involved in their care. I generally want patients to lead the visit and talk about what’s most important to them, as opposed to me talking about what I think is most important. That’s part of what patient-centered care is about – having patients advocate for their own health care and having doctors respond to patients’ main concerns. | Why I entered medicine | I always loved science as kid and was exposed to medicine through my mom, who is a nurse, and two sisters who are also physicians. I tried to consider other science-related careers but always came back to medicine—I almost couldn’t get away from doing it. I became interested in obstetrics and gynecology when my older sister was an OB-GYN resident but really fell in love with it in my own third-year rotation. No other specialty was as exciting and interesting to me as OB-GYN. | Community involvement | I’m part of the Pennsylvania Medical Society, but on a more local level, I feel a real connection to the community from having delivered babies. Because I live in the area, I see plenty of patients whose children I delivered, and it’s always nice to run into them at the grocery, school, daycare – just about anywhere. It’s fun to watch babies I delivered grow, and to have parents tell their kids that I helped bring them into the world. | Personal interests | Outside of work, most of my time is taken up by activities with my kids. I do like to run and have done multiple races, including a few half marathons. Some of these are charitable events, and one that I do annually is the Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure, which supports the fight against breast cancer. I also like to travel, especially to warm and sunny places like Florida or the Bahamas.

I feel honored each day to be trusted to help women stay healthy, listen and counsel them about their medical conditions, and treat their ailments.

"Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is basic: treat patients as I would want to be treated or as I would want my family to be treated. To me, this means being honest, open, always providing evidence-based medicine, and helping patients become active members in their healthcare. I also bring a unique interest in ""integrative medicine,"" which is the use of safe complementary or alternative medicine to aid in traditional patient care. In all circumstances, my focus is to recommend only evidence-based use of alternative treatments in the very best interests of my patients. | Why I entered medicine | I love the career continuity and satisfaction that being an obstetrician/gynecologist provides. It allows me to develop long-term relationships with women from adolescence, through the childbearing years, to menopause and beyond. Through medicine and particularly in the field of ob/gyn, I can provide primary care services, and family planning services, and then be the doctor who delivers your baby or operates on you should you require a gynecologic surgery. The fact that I provide minimally invasive surgery to reduce a patient’s time in the hospital is a satisfying experience I can offer to patients. It means a lot to me that I can be the same physician who cares for you and the female members of your family for most of your lives. | Personal interests | My greatest passion is families—my own family and having the privilege of helping others start to build their families.".

Philosophy of care | I believe in informed choices when counseling my patients.

I spent the most number of hours in the hospital and I slept the least, but it was the rotation that left me the most satisfied. I love the combination of medicine and surgery, and I find my role in women's health rewarding. | Community involvement | I volunteered during medical school and residency, helping at blood drives and free health screenings. | Personal interests | I spend time with my family, exploring our new neighborhood.
