St. Luke's Pulmonary & Critical Care Associates - Quakertown
I enjoy all aspects of pulmonary and critical care medicine, where I can use my skills to provide quality care to our patients. I have held many roles at St Luke’s. I currently serve as director of interventional pulmonary and outpatient pulmonary medicine and previously served as medical director of various intensive care units in the network.
My clinical focus is advanced bronchoscopy and interventional pulmonary. I have a passion for early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, having established the robotic navigational bronchoscopy program at St. Luke’s. I also find it extremely fulfilling to treat COPD/emphysema patients, performing bronchoscopic lung volume reduction at St. Luke’s since 2020. Additionally, I am a designated Premier Provider for Zephyr Valve procedures, highlighting my commitment to clinical excellence.
I earned my medical degree from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. I completed an internal medicine residency at St. Luke’s University Health Network and a pulmonary and critical care fellowship at Virginia Commonwealth University/Medical College of Virginia. I returned to St. Luke’s after the completion of my fellowship training. I have received several teaching, research and quality awards. I am a fellow of the American College of Chest Physicians (FCCP) and a member of the American Association of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology.
I enjoy living in the Lehigh Valley with my husband and two daughters. In my spare time, I am highly involved in my daughter’s educational, dance and diving endeavors. I am a Pittsburgh native and an avid Steelers fan.

Hospital, antibiotics, nebulizer, oxygen,etc.”
