About
Philosophy of care
Our philosophy of care at Children's HealthCare is to partner with our parents for the best care possible for their children. Our total approach emphasizes preventive care, proper diet, fitness, immunizations, as well as care of acute and chronic illness.
Why I entered medicine
Early in my medical training I knew I wanted to be a pediatrician. I love being a "kids doctor." It's a privilege to follow our patients from the newborn nursery to young adulthood.
Community involvement
I am a speaker for the American Academy of Pediatrics EPIC Program (Educating Physicians in their Communities) on Immunizations and Preventing Childhood Obesity. Our practice participates in the medical education of hospital residents and nurse practitioners and physician assistant students. I'm also a past president of the Lehigh County Medical Society, and continue to be an active board member as well as a trustee.
Personal interests
I have a personal interest in classical music and piano. When our youngest son left for college, I decided to call his piano teacher, and have been taking classical piano lessons for the last 8 years. I find classical music can inspire and enrich us all profoundly.
