I also have a professional interest in integrative medicine and the use of complementary and alternative modalities within health care. | Why I entered medicine | I have a passion for health and wellness, and my interest in medicine was sparked when I completed my training as a yoga instructor.

    Philosophy of care | I believe that most health troubles can be decreased or solved with a few interventions. Health is optimized when people eat well, are physically active on most days, sleep well, and engage in a community of friends and loved ones. When health is optimized, people can still get sick, injured and die, but they will be better supported through human processes. A good family doctor helps patients optimize their health and is there with them through life and health changes, working to change what we can and accept what we cannot change with dignity. | Why I entered medicine | I always thought I would grow up to be a scientist or some kind of teacher. I tried working in a lab in college, and I found that it lacked human contact. In medicine, I found the perfect union of science, human contact and teaching, as I work to help each person better understand their bodies and improve their overall feelings of health and well-being. | Community involvement | I am a religious education instructor with the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Lehigh Valley. | Personal interests | I enjoy gardening, reading and going to as many outdoor festivals and carnivals as possible during the summer.

    Philosophy of care | I believe in providing holistic care to patients. Too often in medicine, patients are seen as their disease and not as a whole person. I try my best to treat patients as full human beings, and always consider their backgrounds, culture, surroundings and the people in their lives who helped shape them. That’s a major reason why I went into family medicine. By listening and getting to know patients, I get a full sense of who they are. The relationship and trust we build is extremely meaningful and valuable to me, and allows me to provide the best care I can. | Why I entered medicine | I’ve always had a passion for helping others in need. When I was younger, I watched my mother go through so much pain and suffering due to a serious medical condition. She was fortunate to meet a group of excellent physicians and surgeons who not only changed her life but also changed my life and enabled me to dream of becoming something I never imagined: a doctor. After my mother regained her physical function, she was beyond grateful that she could provide for her two children again. She brought so much positive energy to our family. These physicians gave us hope and a second chance. I learned that a doctor can positively impact multiple lives at once and not just one person’s life. Now I try to do the same for others and share those special moments with them. | Community involvement | During my residency I volunteered in schools giving kids sports physicals. I found I loved working with children, and I especially enjoy caring for babies. Now, in addition to my regular practice, I elect to spend time doing rounds in the hospital nursery working with newborns. It is part of what I love about family medicine – the continuity of care. You start with babies, and then begin caring for the entire family. You really get to know each individual over the course of their lives. | Personal interests | My husband and I are huge foodies, and we love exploring different restaurants and trying new foods in the area. When I’m not sampling the local cuisine, I enjoy cooking Korean food at home, which I learned from my mom. I also love watching movies and TV shows after a long day of work – mostly dramas and thrillers. It’s my little reward, and a great way to unwind and relax. Her clinical expertise encompasses Migraine, Infant Hyperglycemia, Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), and Obesity in Children. Dr. Patrylo is board certified in American Board Of Family Medicine - Family Medicine.

    Philosophy of care | I believe a physician should be compassionate, dedicated and work well on a team. I encourage my patients to be an active participant in their health care. | Why I entered medicine | My mother was diagnosed with aplastic anemia when I was 8 years old. From a young age, I became familiar with hospitals, doctors and nurses. Compassionate doctors explained my mother's illness. This experience gave me a better understanding of the medical profession, specifically the important role of the physician. The dedication of the hospital staff inspired me to become a doctor. | Personal interests | I enjoy reading, cooking and playing Wii Fit, as well as spending time with my husband and daughter.

    Philosophy of care | Listening is important. That's the most helpful to patients. You get the most insight into their personality. Communication is also important -- not only with the patient, but with the patient's family, and especially in the hospital or nursing home. Good communication goes a long way. I've been doing this for more than 10 years, and you build a relationship with your patients. I like to catch up, see how they're doing, ask about their family, vacations. | Why I entered medicine | My father was a doctor, and that had an impact on me when I was growing up. | Personal interests | My greatest passion in life is my family -- my wife and my two daughters. That's the most important thing to me. I spend a lot of time with the family, and I like to fish. We're big Eagles fans, and I have season tickets.

    Philosophy of care | I’m a primary care physician, so I treat the patient as a whole and address all needs, whether physical, mental or social. Specialists such as cardiologists may specifically treat the heart, or pulmonologists may treat the lungs. Primary care physicians treat the whole body from top to bottom. We identify the nature of the problem and address it or, if called for, are able to refer a patient for more specialized care. I enjoy what I do because I like to help patients and prevent diseases before they start. | Why I entered medicine | I wanted to help people and I like to interact face-to-face, so I always had a passion for medicine. It’s rewarding to help someone directly with my skills, mind and know-how, so to speak. And I like the long-term relationships that come with primary care. I treat people from ages 16 to 90 or even 100, and I get to know their families and kids. It’s very rewarding to take care of entire families. | Community involvement | I sing in a church choir and am involved in church life. I like to sing and enjoy music in general. | Personal interests | I enjoy skiing in winter and playing soccer in summer. I belong to a recreational soccer league of people above 40. We’ve been playing together for more than 12 years, mostly on weekends. For skiing, I like to go out West to the Rockies. I pick a different place each year, such as Big Sky, Montana, Snowmass, Colorado, Snowbird, Utah, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and go for a week at a time. Locally, I enjoy taking my kids to Blue Mountain and Camelback. Dr. Shevtziv is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data.

    What is a primary care physician (PCP)?  

    A primary care physician (PCP) is the first doctor people go to when they feel sick or need a check-up. This doctor helps with many different health problems, gives advice to keep patients healthy, and treats common illnesses. A PCP also keeps track of a person’s overall health and can refer them to a specialist if more specific care is needed.    

    What’s the difference between a primary care physician (PCP) and a specialist?  

    The main difference between a PCP and a specialist is the kind of health conditions they treat. PCPs care for people of all ages and treat a wide range of health issues, from the common cold to sports injuries. They also focus on preventive care, such as vaccines to prevent illnesses or screenings to catch diseases before they become serious. 

    Specialists, on the other hand, have advanced training in a specific area of medicine like cardiology (heart health) or neurology (brain health). There are many kinds of specialists on MediFind, each with their own focus. When needed, PCPs will help patients understand when they need to see a specialist. PCPs will also collaborate with specialists on a treatment plan specific to their patients’ needs. 

    What is another name for a primary care physician?

    There are a few different types of primary care doctors. In addition to primary care providers, a primary care physician may also be called a general practitioner, family doctor, or internist. There are also PCPs with special training to work with specific patient populations. Pediatricians, for example, are PCPs who work with children, while geriatricians are PCPs who work with older adults.  

    Why do people have a primary care physician?
