St. Luke's Family Medicine Nazareth
My practice is dedicated to treating patients of all ages and I have a special interest in womens’s care. My focus is getting to know my patients and their families and to help them get the most out of life. Together, we can optimize health with as few medications as possible through open communication and teamwork.
Professionally, I am a board-certified family physician at St. Luke’s University Health Network. I focus on staying up-to-date with the latest medical practices and I enjoy finding ways to improve the care I provide.
I earned my medical degree at St. George’s University School of Medicine and completed my residency at St. Luke’s University Health Network.
Originally from New Jersey, I have enjoyed settling into the Lehigh Valley area and the access to outdoor activities. Whether playing tennis, hiking or skiing, I try to stay active. I also enjoy reading, spending time with friends and family and traveling.

“I am a new patient to this office. I retired after 28 years working in healthcare, lastly as a Process Improvement Analyst for Penn State Health so I am very familiar with the visit process. This office, from the front office staff to Christina the MA who roomed me, to Dr. Black were all Superb! Efficient, pleasant, caring, and professional to the point that I left the office with the impression that I would have great care in the future. I look forward to remaining at this office and Dr. Black as I contemplate what's next for me and my healthcare!”
