I'm a general cardiologist, with board certifications in internal medicine, general cardiology, nuclear cardiology, and echocardiography. I’ve also been recognized as a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC), a symbol of dedication and achievement within the field of Cardiology. Although my philosophy of care will always focus on first preventing the onset of cardiovascular disease in my patients, I treat a variety of cardiac conditions including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart rhythm issues, valvular heart disease, coronary artery disease, and congestive heart failure. I have a special interest in cardiac imaging, utilizing the latest techniques in three-dimensional echocardiography, CT coronary calcium scoring, CT coronary angiography, and nuclear stress testing. As part of a multidisciplinary group at St. Luke’s University Health Network, my colleagues and I offer patients a team based approach to treating the entire range of cardiovascular conditions within a cohesive system.
I received my medical degree from the Dow University of Health Sciences, and completed my Residency and Fellowship training at Lehigh Valley Health Network. One core tenet to my philosophy of patient care involves the ability to always give back to the community and patients that gave me my medical education. Joining St. Luke’s University Health Network has allowed me that opportunity, providing me with the cutting-edge resources and facilities needed to ensure the best possible care for my patients.
I take great pride in knowing each of my patients on a personal level, and I firmly believe that an individualized and holistic approach to your healthcare based on your own personal values is the key to good outcomes. My goal is to treat my patients as I would treat my own family, with sincerity and compassion. It’s very important to me that my patients understand their medical conditions, what our short and long term goals are for their health, and why they’re taking each medication on their list. As with most things in life, we should always be striving for improvement. Your health is no different, and I look forward to joining you on your healthcare journey to help navigate through the latest advancements in clinical cardiology.
