For over 20 years in practice, with the last 8 years as an MDVIP-affiliated physician outside of Philadelphia, I have had the privilege of practicing family medicine and providing primary care to patients and their families. My approach is rooted in personalized care, taking a collaborative team effort where my patients and I work together to create tailored health and wellness plans. I recognize that each individual has unique medical needs and personal health goals, and I believe it’s my job to support them as they pursue reaching those goals, offering tools and guidance as needed.
Preventive medicine and a healthy lifestyle, alongside traditional medical care, are the foundations of my philosophy. I find great fulfillment in seeing the enthusiasm my patients show when they reach their personal health milestones.
As a board-certified family medicine physician, my focus areas include nutrition, preventive care, exercise and goal setting. I’ve developed a proprietary 10-step nutritional and health platform designed to help provide foundational and long-term strategies that patients can use as they work toward improved health, longevity and weight management. Additionally, outside of the Wellness Program, I can offer dermatological screenings, skin procedures and some orthopedic services for arthritis and sports injuries.
Through my affiliation with MDVIP, I can provide a personalized medical experience, helping ensure each patient receives the time and attention I believe they deserve. Similar to concierge medicine practices, my MDVIP-affiliated practice offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting.
I have been honored to serve in leadership roles, including chairman of family medicine at St. Mary Medical Center in Pennsylvania, and have participated in various medical and hospital-related committees. I look forward to being your physician, where together, we can focus on your long-term medical and physical well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
MDVIP-affiliated physicians use the Wellness Program Plus to help prevent little things from becoming big things – working to help patients enjoy life and be healthier. Those who value their health will appreciate having a closer doctor-patient relationship. Because MDVIP-affiliated physicians have smaller practices, they have more time for you, so you can receive the individualized care and service you deserve. Physicians offering the Plus program have a different set of testing to choose from than physicians in the traditional program; this testing looks at additional health risks. Plus doctors also use an advanced cognitive testing system to evaluate brain health and offer a medication review program.
MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.
