About Me

It has been a particular honor and privilege for me to provide surgical care to the many members of the Easton Community, sometimes two and three generations of the same family. 

Since 1986, I practiced general surgery at Easton Hospital, where I had been the chief of surgery for 14 years. I specialize in treatment of breast and thyroid disease, hernia repair, biliary surgery, colonoscopy, the treatment of complicated abdominal disease and skin cancer.  I utilize advanced techniques in laparoscopic and robotic surgery as well as the newest techniques in surgery of the breast.

I graduated from New York Medical College and completed a residency in general surgery at Wayne State University School of Medicine. I received my undergraduate degree from Lehigh University, Magna Cum Laude.  

For 23 years I have been the associate program director for the Surgical Residency, as well as a clinical associate professor at Drexel University School of Medicine. I have received three Dean’s Awards for Excellence in teaching from Drexel along with multiple Resident Teaching Awards. I have published multiple papers in the surgical literature and presented at numerous major national surgical meetings.

I look forward to continuing to provide surgical care for the local community as part of St. Luke’s University Health Network.

When not at work, my interests include reading, swimming, biking and golf.

I had a nice follow up appointment after my yearly mammogram with Dr. Bloch.

I live in Canada and was visiting my sister for a celebration of my brother-in-law's 88th birthday. The hernia I had became incarcerated. Dr. McEvoy saw me on a Tuesday and he referred me to Dr. Bloch at St. Luke's Hospital Easton Campus. Dr. Bloch analyzed my situation and operated on me the next day, basically saving my life. He told me he returned around 3 feet of "sliders" to their proper place. Dr. Bloch was attentive, erudite, affable and efficient.
