About

Philosophy of care

The most important thing to me is the relationship between patient and doctor. You need to be able to connect and trust if you’re making potentially life-altering decisions together. I can have all my tests and care plans ready to go but if they don’t have a relationship with me and are not comfortable with what I’m trying to do, they’re not going to follow through. So I believe in shared decision making and talking with patients about, for example, undergoing tests – whether they’ll be comfortable with the test, its possible results and what we may want to do in light of it.

It’s also important that we have a team-based practice with input from a variety of providers such as dietitians, nutritionists, nurses and physician assistants, who together help provide comprehensive care.

Why I entered medicine

I initially went into the music field and did recording engineering prior to entering medicine around age 23 or 24. But I have family in medicine – my mother was a nurse, my father is a physician, my brother is a physician’s assistant – and I enjoy helping people, whether in times of need, sadness or happiness. It’s rewarding to have people rely on you, especially as the medical field gets more complex and fragmented. I try to let patients know they have cheerleader and coach on their side.

Community involvement

I grew up in Drums, Pa., and recently moved back to the area after my residency, so I have roots in the community. I’m involved with my children’s sports activities, and we go to church as well. I’m also part of the Pennsylvania Medical Society and keep in touch with my medical school.

Personal interests

The biggest thing is spending time with my family, but I still enjoy playing guitar. I used to be in a band but now just play for myself.
