St. Luke's Spine & Pain Associates - Lehighton
I am a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation-trained physician with additional training in Pain Medicine. I am interested in the diagnosis and treatment of various types of chronic pain conditions including spine and joint pain. Chronic pain can be debilitating and impact various aspects of a person’s life including function and mood.
My goal is to address the ‘big picture’ and tailor treatment based on the patient’s diagnosis and needs which could include a range of interventional treatments, medications, coordinating care with physical/occupational therapists and other physicians and discussion of complementary medicine techniques.
I earned my medical degree at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark and completed a residency at Temple University Hospital/Moss Rehab in Philadelphia.
I look forward to getting to know each patient personally and addressing their unique needs. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, trying new foods, and spending time in nature.
