About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy of care is doing what’s best for you and keeping you as informed as possible about your health care to reach the best outcome.
Why I entered medicine
As a child and young adult I looked up to a lot of people in the medical field and that made a big impression on me. I enjoyed the sciences from an early age and, when the time came, decided to apply those skills to the field of medicine. I also knew I wanted to practice in a community setting in Pennsylvania like my father and grandfather did before me.
Community involvement
Most of my volunteer work has been with area youth organizations. I have been president and administrative official of the local YMCA swim team for seven years. I volunteer and assist in the organization of multiple charity races and triathlons that benefit the community.
Personal interests
I spend free time cycling, running, swimming, skiing, water skiing, fishing, hunting and pretty much anything outdoors. But really my biggest interest now is my family, their interests and future.

What is a Care Team?
Your care team is a group of caregivers in a specialized medical practice, including your doctor and physician assistants, who specialize in two main areas: ear, nose and throat (ENT), and head and neck surgery, or otolaryngology (OHNS). They work together to diagnose and treat – both surgically and nonsurgically – issues with your ears, nose and throat, and a broad range of conditions affecting your head and neck.
