Get to Know Me
I have the privilege of serving in the Delaware Valley as our chief of Otolaryngology. I also serve our multi-state enterprise as our chief of Credentialing. On a national level, I have served as the President, Treasurer and Program Chair of the Society of Ear, Nose and Throat Advances in Children; Chair of the Program, Audit and Finance Committees of the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology; and as Chair of the Medical Devices & Drugs Committee of the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery.
Why I Treat Children
I’m passionate about being able to help people every day – that’s what being a doctor means to me. There's nothing more satisfying than being able to make a difference in the life of a child.Education & Training
