The most special aspect of being a doctor for me is the relationship I make with my patients. I believe in shared decision-making with the patient being an active participant. I am very proactive with wellness and strive to encourage patients to engage in healthy diets and exercise actively.
I am a rheumatologist privileged to have cared for patients in the Lehigh Valley for many decades. I graduated from Hahnemann Medical School in Philadelphia and trained in Internal Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. I completed my Rheumatology and Immunology Fellowship at the Affiliated Hospitals of Harvard Medical School and Hahnemann University. I am a proud Fellow of the American College of Rheumatology. I am a Clinical Adjunct Assistant Professor in Medicine at Temple University in Philadelphia. I have held academic positions in the Clinical Faculty at Harvard Medical School, Hahnemann Medical University, and Thomas Jefferson Medical University. I served as the Chair of the Metabolic Bone Study group for the American College of Rheumatology for several years. I have participated in clinical studies, taught medical students and residents and lectured nationally and internationally on multiple topics in rheumatology. I have had publications on Osteoporosis and Autoantibodies in Connective Tissue Disease and Inflammatory Arthritis Therapy published.
I am an active member of the Institute for Functional Medicine and utilize the anti-inflammatory diet to help my patients to integrate wellness with their medical therapies to achieve their health goals.
I love cooking and entertaining my family and friends. My husband, children and three granddaughters are my greatest inspiration and love. I enjoy training for 10K and half marathons in my spare time. I also love traveling to new places to experience the beauty and culture of other countries and our wonderful country. Additionally, I am a passionate Philadelphia Eagles, Sixers, Phillies and Flyers sports fan!!
St. Luke's Care Network Provider
5.0 RATING
“Dr. Field has been my Rheumatologist for 20 years. She has resolved countless medical issues for me. Is she different than most of my Doctors? YES! She is medically brilliant! She is able to find what is causing problems and has always been able to rectify them. She has called me on several occasions after hours when she has seen troubling blood test results. Even when I waited for two hours before seeing her for my scheduled appointment I was fine with this. Because, when she was with me she listened and never hurried or brushed off any of my concerns. I am beyond thrilled that she is staying with St. Luke's on Mondays and Tuesdays. When I thought she was leaving I researched and talked with other providers and came to the conclusion I would need to go to another network to find a Doctor to replace her. St. Luke's is extremely blessed to have her as one of your Doctors. I hope your fellow Rheumatologists will be able to learn from her so when she unfortunately retires they will hopefully be able to provide the same exceptional service she does!!!!”
