GU – Cancer | Head & Neck | Lung CancerGU Oncology Program – Medical Co-Director (Allentown)
I practice hematology and medical oncology with a passion in knowing that I can make an impact in treating these serious conditions. My goal is to help patients make individual treatment decisions that are appropriate for their individual situations and to be an advocate for them throughout their journey.
The bulk of my education was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and my love for biochemistry and medicine led to my profound interest in health care and the need to serve within this field. I have a special interest in genitourinary and thoracic Oncology.
As someone who grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, I am well acquainted with the Lehigh Valley and the proud heritage of this region. There is nowhere else that I would rather work! I enjoy traveling and meeting new people and spend most of my free time with my wife and 2 kids.
