I was born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I went to college, medical school, radiology residency and fellowship at various institutions throughout the city of Philadelphia. After completing my fellowship in Neuroradiology, I moved to the Lehigh Valley to work at St Luke's. I have worked continuously as a radiologist at St Luke's since the completion of my training.
Professionally, I practice neuroradiology about 60-70% of the time, reading brain, spine and head and neck MR and CT scans. I find it very rewarding to interact with the neurosurgeons, spine surgeons and neurologists to help direct patient care, "behind the scenes". The remainder of my clinical time is spent interpreting various general diagnostic radiology studies.
I am also very involved with teaching medical students and residents radiology. Every year, I give a few lectures at the St Luke's regional medical school. I am on the course director committee for the medical school. I am also in charge of the radiology curriculum for the medical student radiology rotation. Participating in the training of future physicians is very rewarding to me. I strive to teach the students a sense of humanity along with the necessary medical knowledge.
While living in Allentown, my wife and I have enjoyed watching our son and our daughter mature. We enjoy spending time with family. We recharge at the beach as often as possible. We love our white, friendly rescue dog Daisy, even though she has been known to hog the bed from time to time. Our two finicky, seal point Siamese cats seem to tolerate the dog most days.
