I am a Board Certified Internal Medicine physician who graduated from medical school at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and has practiced conventional medicine for over 20 years in Pennsylvania. I have both a medical license for Pennsylvania and Florida. I have worked primarily as a hospitalist who admits patients from the emergency department for heart attacks, strokes, diabetic emergencies, respiratory failure, etc and are their attending physician through to discharge. Out of residency, I worked at all three hospitals in Lancaster simultaneously, following which I moved to Hanover Hospital for 9 years and then finished my hospital career at Lancaster General Hospital. In 2022, I felt God’s calling to begin a medical practice that is founded on God’s everlasting principles, patient autonomy, personal freedom and privacy. Hence, the founding of Integrity Health Alliance.
Since 2020, my eyes have been opened to a better way to deliver health care rather than sick care. I’m using both conventional medicine, which I can prescribe pharmaceuticals for my patients who need to be on them, in addition to natural ways we can restore health by looking at our members through the lens of them being mind, body and spirit and working towards balance. I can refer patients to specialists and order radiologic studies as needed.
Prior to medical school, I went to college at the University of Pittsburgh and then transferred to Penn State where I graduated in 1986 with a General Science degree (We are…!). In 1993 returned to Penn State for a Master's degree in Nutrition Biochemistry.
I have a wonderful wife, Jennifer, two early 20's children, two beloved dogs, two cats and nine laying chickens. I love running, downhill skiing, music and church activities. I ran my 5th marathon exactly on my 60th birthday from Marathon to Athens, Greece. I have always loved health and fitness and want that for our members.
