My primary goal is for all my patients and their families from day one to be well informed about their diagnosis, treatment options and management of their condition. During your visit with me you can expect a down to earth, upfront, educated discussion on expectations, risks, benefits and appropriate options for you or your loved one.

I am a board-certified physician assistant who joined St. Luke’s University Health Network in 2014 after graduation from King’s College. I currently treat adult male and female urology patients in the inpatient and outpatient settings in Allentown. The opportunity to practice in both settings combines my passion for hospital-based acute care medicine with preventive care and quality of life management for the patients I see in my office.

In a typical day, I treat patients with hematuria, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), erectile dysfunction (ED), stone disease, urinary tract infection (UTI), overactive bladder and a variety of urologic cancers.

My personal interest is in male urology, particularly prostate cancer and post-prostatectomy urinary and erectile function preservation. In 2020 I developed a perioperative patient handbook on this topic for use in our practice. A long-term goal of mine is to further expand this into a live, patient-based preparedness seminar.

Outside of patient care, I enjoy reading dystopian novels, doing jigsaw puzzles, experiencing the sunshine and eating ice cream.
