    "Philosophy of care | I emphasize on the preventive aspects of medicine. Choosing a healthy lifestyle – which includes good eating habits, being physically active and maintaining a positive outlook on life — are each equally important in preventing disease and promoting good health. I believe in integrative and holistic medicine and also strive to keep treatment plans individualized to meet the needs of each patient and his family. | Why I entered medicine | I always wanted to positively influence the health and well-being of our children. The ability to make a difference in a child’s life on a personal level appealed to me. The lasting relationships with my patients as they grow into young adults gives me a sense of great fulfillment. | Community involvement | Being able to pay back to my community means a lot to me.  I was instrumental in starting a fund raising event ""Volley for Kids"" in Berks County where I lived before I moved into this area. This was an initiative on behalf of ""Aaron’s Acres,"" a well-known foundation helping to organize summer camps for children with special needs. I have also contributed to organizations in India – notably the SOS Children's Villages, and LKS –which worked towards organizing free eye surgeries for the poor. Another very rewarding way to pay back for me has been in the way of teaching young medical students and motivating them to achieve the goals they have set for themselves. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending time with my husband and family. My children are grown up now and I take pride in their achievements as well. My daughter and son in-law are both physicians and my son is on his way to becoming a dentist. I love to cook and also enjoy reading and traveling.". Her top areas of expertise are Delayed Growth, Sunken Fontanelles, and Genetic Epilepsy with Febrile Seizures Plus (GEFS+).

    Philosophy of care | In order to treat a child effectively, it's important to actively listen to what the parents are saying. Health is more than not having disease. It's also behavior, development and safety. If we, as pediatricians, are effective, we can help parents raise a child who will turn into a healthy and happy adult. More information is available to parents than ever before through television, print media and the Internet. Much of that information is erroneous. So a pediatrician needs to take care of a child's current problem, initiate prevention when necessary and serve as a trusted resource for parents. | Why I entered medicine | Pediatric medicine is such a joy that I can't think of anything better. It is a real privilege to observe a child's development from infancy through the teen years. | Community involvement | I am an advisory board member for both the Mercy Special Learning Center and the Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Allentown. I volunteer during medical trips to Haiti. | Personal interests | I am a voracious reader, often having 2 or 3 books going at the same time. I also enjoy star gazing. In addition, I like to run, cycle and do yoga. I enjoy going to Iron Pigs baseball games and am a long-time fan of the St. Louis Cardinals. His top areas of expertise are Delayed Growth, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Auditory Processing Disorder, and Croup.
