Biography

I take great pride in being up to date and skilled in the latest advances in pediatric surgery. I apply this knowledge and experience, as well as my genuine empathy for people and their often-frightening situations, to do my very best to take care of children and, equally importantly, their families. I am a pediatric general, thoracic and minimally invasive surgeon at St. Luke's University Health Network. My practice is solely dedicated to the surgical care of infants, children and adolescents. This includes various surgical procedures from, literally, the head to the toes. I have over 20 years of experience in practice dedicated to the care of pediatric patients. I am a professor of surgery at Temple and Drexel medical schools and am very involved in teaching and research. I am board-certified in my field and have performed thousands of operations on children. I perform many different surgical procedures in the pediatric age group in the following realms: general surgery, head and neck surgery, thoracic surgery, surgery for chest wall deformities, surgical oncology, esophageal surgery, hepatobiliary and spleen surgery, endocrine surgery, small intestine surgery, colorectal surgery, urologic surgery, gynecologic surgery and soft tissue surgery.
