About Me
Patrick completed his Master's in Physician Assistant Studies at Lock Haven University. His education was a comprehensive blend of classroom learning and focused clinical rotations in various medical disciplines.
At the heart of Patrick's care philosophy lies a strong belief in patient autonomy. He upholds the four pillars of medical ethics and recognizes the significance of shared decision-making between providers and patients. "Trust and understanding form the foundation of effective healthcare," Patrick said.
As a healthcare provider, Patrick is motivated by the resilience he witnesses in his patients daily. Their determination and courage in the face of adversity are a source of inspiration. With a background in Cardiology, Internal Medicine, and Critical Care, Patrick's expertise spans various fields, contributing to his holistic approach to patient care.
Patrick's passion for healthcare extends beyond his professional life. A family tradition of medical service influences him. His father is a Neurologist and his younger sisters are pursuing careers in the medical field. Outside of medicine, Patrick is an avid long-distance runner, a hobby he finds fulfilling and an opportunity to contribute to charitable causes.
Among his interests, Patrick enjoys reading and writing fiction, aspiring to publish a series of novels someday. His pursuit of excellence is evident in his induction into the Pi Alpha Honor Society for Physician Assistants.
