About

Philosophy of care

I believe in taking care of you as a whole, investing in your emotional well-being, as well as treating your physical ailment.

Why I entered medicine

I entered medicine because I wanted to help people. I have always found medicine and science fascinating, and the more I learned, the more I wanted to know. Gastroenterology is by far the most interesting specialty to me, and with the variety of pathology we see, it is never boring

Community involvement

I routinely participate in local Step Beyond Celiac 5K events to raise money for celiac disease research, and I speak at local PA gluten free expos.

Personal interests

I love spending time with my young daughter and husband and enjoy improving on my gluten- free cooking skills.
