About
Philosophy of care
My role is to be proactive in my patients’ care and to treat each person like family. I make sure you feel heard, seen and know that your health and concerns are my priority. I invest in you the time, dedication, compassion and commitment I would give to those closest to me. My goal is to develop meaningful, continuous relationships with patients. I also use an integrated approach to care, with input from such clinicians and specialists as medical assistants, nurses, nutritionists, chiropractors, physical therapists and pharmacists. I make sure each patient has a say in their care plan. I can outline the best next steps in care but want you to feel comfortable sharing any concerns about the risks and benefits. Deciding the next steps of care is a collaborative effort.
Why I entered medicine
I knew early I wanted to practice medicine. My parents were young when they had my siblings and me, and I often acted as a caretaker when my parents had to work. Because I wanted to help but felt powerless when I didn’t understand what was happening or why, I became determined to learn how our bodies work and why sicknesses occur. I also wanted to ensure my family and community became fully informed about their health care options. I enjoy helping others live their lives to the fullest without worrying about the uncertainties of illness.
Community involvement
I am a local; I was raised in Mountain Top and my home and family are here. I have always been active in sports, and now participate in volleyball leagues in Mountain Top, Hazleton, Drums and Kingston. I love local sporting events, festivals and bazaars. I remain in contact with my physician assistant school to support, teach, tutor and precept students in clinicals, and aid the success of the next generation of physician assistants.
Personal interests
I play volleyball several times a week, enjoy spending time with my family and friends and love to travel.
