About Me

Care Philosophy
  • I have been a board-certified family doctor in Orwigsburg since 1987. I grew up in Coatesville, PA, graduated from Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, and received my MD from Temple University School of Medicine. I did my family medicine residency at Reading Hospital. I really believe that communicating with my patients is most important. I view myself not only as their primary care doctor, but also as a guide to help them understand and deal with both their physical health and the health care system. As a physician, I practice evidence-based medicine, and I believe it is very important for patients to be able to understand why things like medications or treatments are being recommended or prescribed.
