To be able to dedicate oneself in treating others is truly a privilege and honor.

Philosophy of care | I believe every patient should be treated as if they were your family. Medicine can be complex, and I will explain it to you in such a way as to convey your health problem in a straightforward manner, with compassion and empathy. | Why I entered medicine | My grandfather, who raised me, was an anesthesiologist. His stories of the operating room would always fascinate me, and began my interest in medicine.

It is from that perspective that I approach each patient and their family – always striving to be better. | Community involvement | For many years I have supported the Children's Home of Easton, who house, feed, and educate children at risk.
