As an orthopedic spine surgeon, my goal is to help patients maintain and enhance their mobility to live an active and healthy lifestyle. I strive to work with each individual patient and their specific spinal condition to create a treatment plan that best fits their individual goals. 

What I take most joy in is working in a collaborative group environment to maximize each patient’s outcome with alternative treatments such as physical therapy and spine injections.  It is immensely rewarding to deliver the best possible care and see my patients regain their lifestyle.  

My extensive orthopedic spine surgery training provided me the experience to care for a vast array of spine pathologies, including degenerative conditions (cervical/lumbar), traumatic injuries (fractures, spinal cord injuries) and infections and metastatic tumors of the spine.  

During my fellowship I became highly trained in both reconstructive spine deformity procedures (pediatric and adult), robotic surgery and motion preservation surgery, including arthroplasty laminoplasty and minimally invasive surgery.  

I was born and raised in Bucks County and completed my medical training here in Pennsylvania.  I am happy to have found a home at St. Luke’s and to care for patients of the Lehigh Valley.
