About

Philosophy of care

My philosophy of care is to work closely with my patients and use informed decision-making to provide the right care for the right person. It is important to understand each person when making decisions to avoid a cookie cutter approach to care.

Why I entered medicine

I chose to enter medicine because it offered me a way to apply my interest in biology in a meaningful way. It is personally rewarding to see the impact you can have on someone's life while simultaneously tackling the intellectual challenges of medicine.

Community involvement

I am actively involved in medical education on multiple levels. My strongest interest is in providing graduate medical education to resident physicians. I also work closely with the medical students enrolled in the Lehigh Valley Health Network-University of South Florida curriculum. Several of my educational interests also involve providing medical care to underserved populations.

Personal interests

I am very involved with my children and their interests.
