St. Luke's Center
Prior to attending medical school, I received an undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. This combination of engineering and medicine gives me a unique perspective in the treatment of my patients because I have such a strong understanding of the biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system.
A native of Southeastern Pennsylvania, I was the first fellowship-trained hand surgeon in the Lehigh Valley and joined OAA in 1997. My practice is devoted to the management of the hand and upper extremities. I have extensive experience in the surgical and non-surgical care of: fractures of the elbow, forearm, wrist and hand; arthritis of the wrist, thumb and fingers; flexor and extensor tendon injuries; chronic and acute wrist pain and tendonitis problems; nerve compression syndromes (cubital, carpal and radial tunnel); tumors, infections, and reconstruction of arthritic conditions.
I am committed to research and education and have published several articles on hand surgery topics. My research has also been published in peer reviewed journals. Most importantly, I am committed to patient education, as well as educating the community, physicians and therapists in the recognition and treatment of hand disorders.
