About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy is rooted in making sure you and your family have a complete and transparent understanding of both the treatment and the goals of care. It is paramount everyone is "on the same page" – whether it is an easy or a hard conversation to have. I truly believe in "shared decision-making" between clinicians and their patients. Doing what is right for you includes listening to what you want.
Why I entered medicine
Between my wife's family and my own, I come from a long line of physicians and advanced care clinicians. I grew up watching my parents, both internal medicine physicians, care for patients in small communities in northeastern Pennsylvania. I was instantly drawn to the lifestyle and the idea of doing my part to keep folks healthy and happy for generations.
Community involvement
I am always looking for ways to become more involved in the community. I have volunteered at soup kitchens, Meals on Wheels and church events, as well as community screening events for student athletes in the Philadelphia area.
Personal interests
I am a "car guy" through and through. My love of automobiles started as early as I can remember, and I love sharing my passion with my children. I also love building Lego sets (mostly cars) and watching Formula 1 racing. I have a passion for photography as well.
