About Me

I have been involved in residency, advanced practitioner and medical school education since joining St Luke’s and I am an adjunct associate clinical professor of medicine at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University. I have participated in multiple quality improvement and IT projects. My clinical interests include medical education and process improvement. Pulmonary interests include interstitial lung disease (ILD) and lung cancer.

I earned my medical degree at New York Medical College, completed a residency at Yale New Haven Hospital and joined St. Luke’s in 2006 from fellowship training in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Yale University School of Medicine.
 
I live in Bethlehem with my wife and two children I am very proud of my children’s accomplishments in academics, sports and music. In my free time, I enjoy attending local sporting events, biking on local trails and travel.

Dr Alia and staff. Treat me like a family member. Dr Alia even moved my appointment date up months sooner than scheduled. None better than Dr Alia in my opinion

02/19/2024
Hello, quite frankly there have only been good experiences with this provider and his office.

01/31/2024
Dr Alia has tried to find out why I continue to to have Strep sputum cultures, and ordered another blood test to determine what Is going on with my body. Feel he has addressed the Issue and now I know why this condition has not Improved.

I was impressed with the time and attention that I received during my first visit.

01/19/2024
In the past 2 weeks, I visited 2 St. Luke's doctors. Dr. Christopher Alia, was excellent and their diagnosis and treatment recommendations were excellent. I am happy, that they were able to get me "squeezed in" and not have to wait to see a physician or to get testing. I was pleased that they were aggressive with testing and efforts to find out and try to identify what is causing my "shortness of breath". As of this moment, we continue to investigate and are doing more. It is convenient that St. Luke's has many locations to do blood work.

01/12/2024
