About me

  • Medical Director, Trauma and Acute Care Surgery Research, Lancaster General Hospital
  • Program Director, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine General Surgery
  • Adjunct Assistant Professor of Surgery

As a trauma and acute care surgeon I have the privilege of caring for patients when they least expect it, and providing care to not only them but their families, with the goal of restoration to their pre-injury level.

I am the medical director of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery Research for the Division of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery.  My research interests include solid organ injury management, whole blood and resuscitation, traumatic brain injuries and pediatric trauma. I am currently the lead co-PI for an Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma Multicenter Study, entitled "Radiographic Evidence of Delayed Solid Organ Injuries (REDSOC) Study." 

Educating both medical students and surgical residents is paramount to the future of our profession. I take pride in helping to educate our surgical residents as the program director of the surgical residency from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. I am a clinical associate professor of surgery at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine  I am an adjunct assistant professor of surgery as part of the associated faculty of the Perelman School of Medicine. I am an adjunct clinical assistant professor of Surgery at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine, and the Surgery Clerkship Site Director for the Temple University medical students.
