As a surgeon and father of two young girls, I believe in treating all patients as if they were a member of my own family. I take great pride in my ability to guide patients and their families through the stressful experience of a trauma or the correction of a debilitating deformity. My specialty training has provided me with the unique skills to treat all aspects of pediatric orthopedics from simple to complex.
I am a board eligible orthopedic surgeon specializing in pediatric orthopedics. I was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH and completed both medical school and residency in Pennsylvania. Following my residency in orthopedic surgery at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, I went on to complete a fellowship in pediatric orthopedics at Washington University/Shriner’s Hospital in Saint Louis. While in fellowship, I received extensive training in general pediatric orthopedics including trauma, sports medicine, and hip dysplasia. During my time in St. Louis I was privileged to be trained by renowned pediatric orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Matthew Dobbs, a world leader in the treatment of clubfeet. I am also passionate about deformity correction and am well versed in the latest techniques in limb reconstruction including computer assisted external fixation and the ellipse intramedullary lengthening nail.
I joined St. Luke’s University Health Network in 2020 following a short time in private practice. I am excited to bring my expertise as a pediatric orthopedic surgeon to the network, allowing families in the Lehigh Valley to receive specialized care closer to home.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two daughters. I am also a huge basketball and football fan, an avid fisherman and nature lover.
“The office reception staff and all medical personnel were terrific with my son. They took their time and spoke with him and I was absolutely impressed by the quality of care he received. We left with all our questions answered and proper instructions of what to do afterwards. Thank you”
