St. Luke's Pulmonary & Critical Care Associates - Quakertown
I am the program director for the pulmonary and critical care fellowship at St. Luke’s University Health Network. My practice is committed to general pulmonary and critical care but I have particular interest in system methods to reduce morbidity within the intensive care unit, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and mechanical ventilation liberation.
A clinical associate professor at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, I am dedicated to pulmonary and critical care education and best practices in patient care. In addition to standard diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy, I perform endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) with fine needle aspiration (FNA), tunneled pleural catheter placement and percutaneous tracheostomy placement.
I obtained my medical degree from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. After graduation, I was an active duty officer in the U.S. Army from 2002 thru 2013. I completed both an internal medicine residency and pulmonary and critical care fellowship at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. I received numerous accolades for teaching including selection as chief of internal medicine residents prior to starting fellowship. While at Brooke Army Medical Center, I was the medical director of the medical intensive care unit, respiratory care services, inter-service respiratory care training program, and bronchoscopy-pulmonary function testing labs. I deployed to Afghanistan as an intensivist with the 31st Combat Support Hospital. While on active duty, my research focus was on smoke inhalational injury, pulmonary function testing of active duty personnel and deployment related lung disease.
I joined St. Luke’s University Health Network in 2013. Since arriving, I have been honored by the residents with the outstanding teaching award. I also serve as the medical director for the medical intensive care unit at St. Luke’s University Hospital in Bethlehem.
I am an active member of the American College of Physicians, the American College of Chest Physicians and the Society of Critical Care Medicine. I have presented and served as a moderator at national academic conferences including CHEST.
I am a native of the Lehigh Valley and I enjoy living here with my wife and four children. I am an avid sports fan.
