A native of Long Island, Dr. Talmage received her undergraduate degree in Biology at Lehigh University before earning her medical degree from New York Medical College.
She recently completed her residency at St. Luke’s, serving as Chief Academic Resident, and decided to begin her career within the St. Luke’s family.
“I always liked this area, having lived here before when I was at Lehigh,” she said of the Lehigh Valley. “I liked the environment, the culture, and I received an excellent education at St. Luke’s. I also enjoy working with all the St. Luke’s physicians, especially the partners in my group.”
Those partners include Elizabeth L Dierking-McAtee, M.D., Christopher B Gilbert, M.D., Ronald M Kriner, D.O., Joseph C Merola, M.D., Robert J Sallash, M.D., and Karen E Taverna-Miller, M.D..
Dr. Talmage chose obstetrics and gynecology because she enjoys building long-term relationships with her patients that will last through all stages of their lives.
“Providing excellent, thorough care to patients is important to me,” she said. “People here at St. Luke’s really care about the patients.”
She and her fiancé enjoy the Lehigh Valley, whether it’s going to an IronPigs game, attending Musikfest, or just traveling to some of the area’s numerous quality of life offerings.
