As a rheumatologic patient, I bring a unique perspective to my patients’ treatment because I deal with many of the same symptoms and take some of the same medications as my patients. I strongly believe in holistic treatment and understand firsthand the social and psychological impact of the diseases I treat.
I’m a fellowship-trained rheumatologist and a clinical densitometrist certified to perform bone density testing. I completed my internal medicine residency and rheumatology fellowship at Geisinger Medical Center in Pennsylvania. As a rheumatologist, I treat autoimmune diseases that affect every organ system in the body. I am especially interested in osteoporosis treatment, fracture prevention and seronegative spondyloarthritides, such as psoriatic arthritis. During my training, I also presented original research at multiple American and international conferences, including the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) conference and the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR).
A Lehigh University graduate, I am excited to once again be in the area, but now as an attending physician.
Outside of work, I enjoy eating and cooking international cuisine, traveling, writing young adult fiction, exercising and practicing my Japanese skills.
