My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

My passion as a board certified internist is to provide you with more personalized healthcare. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will be treated as if you are a member of my family. I believe healthcare should be collaborative, and I hope my staff and I have created a warm and welcoming atmosphere where we can all work together as a team.

In my 20-plus years of practice, I realize the importance of preventive medicine and how individual patient needs can vary. My partnership with MDVIP allows me not only to focus on preventive medicine, but also to help personalize it to your unique history and situation. 

I am an attending physician affiliated with Main Line Health. Having practiced in the Bryn Mawr area for my entire career, I have a large network of specialists to whom I can refer in the three major health systems in Philadelphia. Advocating for you when it comes to specialty care, or even hospital care should you need it, is something on which I pride myself. My primary care practice serves the Philadelphia suburbs.
