As a physician, I believe spending time with you is a very important part of the doctor-patient relationship. This includes educating you about your injury or disease process, as well as taking time to listen and understand your concerns.
I am a primary care sports medicine physician with emergency medicine training. I provide non-surgical treatment of sports injuries and illness including concussions, overuse and acute injuries and everyday musculoskeletal ailments for people of all ages. I strive to promote and maximize your health and fitness, with regard to injury prevention, diet and exercise.
I earned my MD at Temple University School of Medicine, and completed a residency in emergency medicine and a fellowship in primary care sports medicine both at St. Luke’s.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter, who is the apple of my eye. I enjoy anything related to exercise and being outside, taking in the fresh air. Over the last several years I have developed a green thumb maintaining my yard.

“I developed a painful left arm and went to the Macungie Emergency Care Center. They recommended that I go to the emergency room, which I did. The doctor in the emergency room treated the problem and recommended that I see an orthopedic doctor. This visit was with an orthopedic doctor.”
