About

Philosophy of care

Having dealt with cancer in my own family, I understand it affects not only the diagnosed individual, but also everyone close to them. The effects are multi-layered: physical, emotional, financial and spiritual. My goal is to deliver excellent care for you while always communicating openly and honestly with you and those who matter most to you.

Why I entered medicine

I was drawn to medicine, and oncology particularly, after my family lost my mother to breast cancer in 1998 at age 34. While my young family was dealt a devastating tragedy, it has been beautiful to see the triumphs medicine has accomplished in the years since. More people are living longer and better than ever, and we aim to do better as well.

Community involvement

While training in Philadelphia I helped at a shelter for women (some with children) experiencing homelessness, providing medical and supportive care. I look forward to getting integrated and involved in the Lehigh Valley community!

Personal interests

Outside of medicine, my time is mostly spent with my wife, son and other family locally. I am passionate about playing music and try to listen to one new album every day. I am a huge Philly sports fan and love playing baseball when able.
