Summary

  • While Board-Certified in Rheumatology since 1992, I spent the early part of my career focused on patient care and clinical Rheumatology. In 2001, I returned to Geisinger Medical Center and was dedicated to patient care, medical education and teaching, and clinical research - esp. Osteoporosis, DXA and system-based osteoporosis care, and our FLS program, called HiROC. Since 2008, I have been the Physician-lead of our HiROC Program. Over this time, I have helped to oversee our Mobile DXA Program and also Geisinger's DXA Services. I have been an active teacher in our Rheumatology Fellowship Program, as well as to our GIM residents and medical students.
