About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy is rooted in the osteopathic philosophy of medicine, which sees an interrelated unity in all systems of the body, each working with the other to heal in times of illness. Osteopathic medicine brings a whole-person approach to care by focusing on looking beyond mere symptoms to understand how lifestyle and environmental factors impact well-being.
Why I entered medicine
I entered medicine to make a difference in the lives of others. With chronic diseases at epidemic levels in our country and throughout much of the world, many people are yearning for a healthier, fitter, simpler, more connected and meaningful existence. Indeed, we are entering into a wellness revolution regarding personal health. People are realizing health is their most valuable asset and essential for well-being and happiness. This shift will have monumental benefit to individuals, communities, societies, ecosystems and indeed the planet as a whole. What better legacy to leave future generations!
Community involvement
My wife and I are involved with church and health-related groups to strengthen society's health and spiritual commitments.
Personal interests
We live in Pennsylvania, are growing our family and enjoying the outdoors. As a hobby we grow organic fruits and vegetables for our personal kitchen. My wife and our family mean everything to me.
