I am a board-certified family physician and geriatrician and I joined St. Luke's Family Medicine residency program in 2007 as faculty and staff geriatrician. I am an academic physician who provides comprehensive outpatient and inpatient care to patients of all ages and in particular to our seniors living at home and in long-term care facilities. My special interests include dementia disorders. I am also an adjunct clinical assistant professor of Family and Community Medicine at Temple University School of Medicine. In 2011 I was named the Pennsylvania Academy of Family Physicians Exemplary Teacher of the Year for faculty. In addition I am a member of American Academy of Family Physicians, Pennsylvania Academy of Family Physicians and American Geriatrics Society.
