About

Philosophy of care

My philosophy is to treat you as if you are a family member, using proven techniques to provide you the best possible outcome. I go to bed each night knowing I have done my best for my patients.

Why I entered medicine

I got into the medical field to make a difference and contribute in a positive way to those around me.

Community involvement

I am the sports physician for Allentown Central Catholic High School, the medical director of Valley Preferred Cycling Center and a speaker, volunteer and board member at Gift of Life, our region’s amazing transplant organization.

Personal interests

I spend free time with family and enjoy cycling, running and skiing. As a heart transplant recipient I am alive purely because of the generosity of others, and am highly motivated to increase awareness about how organ donation saves lives every day. I believe my experience as a patient allows me to empathize with my patients. I found myself unable to climb a flight of stairs with my heart condition, but worked diligently following my transplant and recently won the world transplant cycling race in Perth, Australia. Orthopedic injuries require a team approach and hard work to return to form, and I feel I am uniquely qualified to help my patients in this journey.
