St. Luke's General Surgery - Bethlehem
I believe in being readily available for my patients at a moments notice. That is why at a least one member of my team always resides in the Level I and II trauma centers. We can be at your bedside in a flash.
I earned my medical degree at the Medical College of Pennsylvania, completed internships at Hahnemann University Hospital and Maimonides Medical Center. My residency was also at Maimonides Medical Center and I completed a fellowship at the University of Maryland Medical Center. I am double boarded in general surgery and surgical critical care. I also have special qualifications for the care of trauma patients. My practice is dedicated to providing surgical services to those who have immediate life-threatening illness as well as to provide surgical service to those with common surgical ailments such as hernias and gallbladder disease. My research has focused on how to prevent injuries in the community and how to best resuscitate the critically ill.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family which usually means a lacrosse field as all my children play and my wife is a local high school coach.
