St. Luke's Center
As a second-generation orthopaedic surgeon, I learned patient care from my father, who formerly treated pro football players. My involvement in competitive sports, including rugby and tennis, has led to my interest in treating acute and chronic sports-related injuries.
I supervise athletic programs at Force Gymnastics, and I also cared for athletes on the Canadian National Freestyle Ski Team. Most recently, I served as the lead team orthopaedic surgeon for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, a professional hockey team associated with the Philadelphia Flyers.
During my sports medicine fellowship, I developed an interest in the surgical management of shoulder injuries including arthritis, rotator cuff, and instability problems. I now devote half of my practice to shoulder problems and the remainder to elbow, knee, and ankle injuries. I am active in joint replacement for arthritic shoulders and knees, and also perform anterior total hip replacements.
I help train physician assistant students at DeSales University, Penn State medical students, medical residents from area hospitals and Jefferson University orthopaedic surgery residents.
