Head and Neck Oncology – Medical Director (Sacred Heart / Lehighton)

I am board-certified and re-certified in hematology and medical oncology, I have been practicing hematology/oncology since 2004.  After I completed medical school at University of Hamburg in Germany, I did my internal medicine training at Pinnacle Health Network and my hematology /oncology fellowship at the Penn State University Hospital. 

I do enjoy taking care of complex cases and value the multi-disciplinary team approach to any challenging case. Currently, I take care of all different types of malignancy and enjoy being a part of the head neck malignancy working group. 

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my wife and 2 little girls.
