I am a third generation physician and have had the pleasure of taking care of some patients that were treated by my father and grandfather. I enjoy caring for my patients, hearing about how their lives are going, and I strive to provide high quality care. I grew up in Bethlehem, moved away for college and medical school, and decided to move back to Bethlehem because I feel it is such a great place to live.
I graduated from Davidson College in North Carolina, and Hahnemann School of Medicine in Philadelphia. I was in private practice for 15 years and then joined St. Luke's in 2016.
When not in the office I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, seeing live music and spending time appreciating nature.
