About
Philosophy of care
My philosophy is to treat each patient as if they were my own family. I want patients to feel heard and have a firm understanding of their diagnosis and treatment options. We work together to come up with the treatment plan that works best.
Why I entered medicine
My grandfather was a physician and my mother a nurse, so I was introduced to the medical field at a young age. I saw how caring they were with their patients, the difference they made in peoples’ lives and how rewarding their careers were for them. Following in their footsteps, I specializing in sports medicine, combining my own interest in athletics with a medical career. I realized sports medicine isn't just for athletes, but for everyone, to help us keep moving, and that exercise truly is medicine. As I advanced in my training, I met my future wife, a professional oboist. That exposed me to the many injuries musicians can experience. Musicians sometimes play through pain or injury due to the demanding nature of their work. I saw a need for improved medical care for this population as well as better communication about treatment options for many of their injuries.
Community involvement
I have covered multiple sporting events over the years, including races, marathons and high school/collegiate contests. More recently, I served as the team physician for Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island. I also enjoyed coaching Little League Baseball. I look forward to serving the Lehigh Valley.
Personal interests
I enjoy time with my wife and dogs, exercise, attending concerts, playing piano/guitar and cheering for the Baltimore Orioles.
