As a physician, I believe that a patient’s voice should always be heard. As your physician, you can expect me to take time to listen to your concerns and mutually personalize a game plan to not only treat the ailment but to help prevent it from occurring again.
As a prior athlete who played basketball and football, I understand the joy and importance that sports and functionality can have in one’s life. It is my philosophy to help aid patients get back to what they love doing in a safe and enjoyable manner!
After earning my medical degree from the Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine, I completed my internship and residency in Family Medicine from Geisinger Health in Pennsylvania. I then completed my primary care sports medicine fellowship at Lehigh Valley Health Network where I had experience taking care of athletes ranging from the high school to professional levels.
As a primary care sports medicine physician, I specialize in providing musculoskeletal care to all patients ranging from the athlete to the weekend warrior. I manage a variety of different ailments ranging from overuse injuries, fractures and concussions and enjoy performing ultrasound guided procedures.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my wife, spending time with family and friends and playing/watching sports.
