About

Philosophy of care

Keeping our bodies in motion is key to our overall well-being. I partner with patients to maintain your musculoskeletal needs and meet your life goals. Whether you want to become more active on a daily basis or to compete in sports, I help by using evidence-based medicine to get you where you need to go regardless of your condition or injury.

Why I entered medicine

My father was also a physician and an avid outdoorsman; two passions I inherited growing up. Sports medicine provided me the intersection connecting my passions and my community. Today I find great satisfaction in using what I know to help, treat and educate patients to get them healthier and give them the best quality of life possible.

Community involvement

I am one of the primary care physicians for Lehigh University.

Personal interests

Growing up, my father took time every summer and winter to camp/hike and ski – another passion he passed on to me. I love exploring the outdoors and being in nature with my wife, family and friends. Otherwise, on weekends you can find me running or trying new foods and cuisines.
