Philosophy of care | High-quality empathetic care. | Why I entered medicine | My father succumbed to complications of hypertension as he did not seek medical care timely or avoided it. I decided to become a physician so I can help others take care of their health by better educating them about their disease process as I believe that is very important in managing their condition. | Community involvement | Through my involvement with LVHN, I plan to do more charity medical missions both locally (street medicine) and globally. | Personal interests | I like to travel, play tennis and spend time with family.

Philosophy of care | I’m a primary care physician, so I treat the patient as a whole and address all needs, whether physical, mental or social. Specialists such as cardiologists may specifically treat the heart, or pulmonologists may treat the lungs. Primary care physicians treat the whole body from top to bottom. We identify the nature of the problem and address it or, if called for, are able to refer a patient for more specialized care. I enjoy what I do because I like to help patients and prevent diseases before they start. | Why I entered medicine | I wanted to help people and I like to interact face-to-face, so I always had a passion for medicine. It’s rewarding to help someone directly with my skills, mind and know-how, so to speak. And I like the long-term relationships that come with primary care. I treat people from ages 16 to 90 or even 100, and I get to know their families and kids. It’s very rewarding to take care of entire families. | Community involvement | I sing in a church choir and am involved in church life. I like to sing and enjoy music in general. | Personal interests | I enjoy skiing in winter and playing soccer in summer. I belong to a recreational soccer league of people above 40. We’ve been playing together for more than 12 years, mostly on weekends. For skiing, I like to go out West to the Rockies. I pick a different place each year, such as Big Sky, Montana, Snowmass, Colorado, Snowbird, Utah, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and go for a week at a time. Locally, I enjoy taking my kids to Blue Mountain and Camelback. Dr. Shevtziv is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Shingles.

Philosophy of care | I think it’s fundamentally important that a solid relationship based on trust be created between myself and patients.  This is accomplished by working in a partnership with the patient to accomplish mutually defined health goals, by treating illnesses and diseases using strategies based on the best evidence, and by ensuring excellent bi-directional communication between myself and patients. | Why I entered medicine | After experiencing numerous injuries and illnesses while growing up, I became deeply familiar with the health care system from the perspective of the patient.  While this generated interest in the role physicians play from direct experience, it also created the desire to give back to others by helping to prevent illnesses and injuries, as well as to manage diseases that arise. | Community involvement | I have had ongoing sponsorship for disadvantaged kids who have suffered burn injuries to enable them to attend a special summer camp through the University of Michigan Burn Center. | Personal interests | I work to maintain my own well-being by spending time with my 20-year-love, Susan, my wonderful 4 kids, extended family and friends (as well as my huge dog, Bo, and multiple other furry and feathered friends).  Together we enjoy family movie nights, ice cream runs (not | every | night!), sporting events, and trips into NYC.  I might periodically also be spotted pounding the pavement on a run or getting muddy on a mountain bike. Dr. Cowell is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Shingles. His top areas of expertise are Cellulitis, Peptic Ulcer, Necrosis, and Otitis.

"Philosophy of care | I sincerely value getting to know my patients and building a relationship based on mutual respect and trust. I want to become a partner as we work together to maintain your health. As a caregiver, I try to see the ""whole person"" and not just symptoms or medical diagnosis. I consider all aspects of your health and provide you and your family the best care possible. | Why I entered medicine | I was always interested in the human body and how it worked. I am extroverted and enjoy interacting with people and helping others, thus a call to practice medicine came naturally. I chose family medicine because I really enjoy taking care of entire families; seeing children, parents and grandparents. I love the variety of doing well visits, diabetes and hypertension management, mental health care, and procedures such as joint injections and IUDs – often all in one day! | Community involvement | I am new to both the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania, so I look forward to getting involved in the community here. Most of my previous community involvement was through church and ministry related activities. I am looking forward to learning about opportunities in the area and getting my spouse and three children involved as well. | Personal interests | I enjoy family time, cooking, reading, hiking, wine-tasting and horseback riding.".

Philosophy of care | Listening is important. That's the most helpful to patients. You get the most insight into their personality. Communication is also important -- not only with the patient, but with the patient's family, and especially in the hospital or nursing home. Good communication goes a long way. I've been doing this for more than 10 years, and you build a relationship with your patients. I like to catch up, see how they're doing, ask about their family, vacations. | Why I entered medicine | My father was a doctor, and that had an impact on me when I was growing up. | Personal interests | My greatest passion in life is my family -- my wife and my two daughters. That's the most important thing to me. I spend a lot of time with the family, and I like to fish. We're big Eagles fans, and I have season tickets. Dr. Ehrig is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Shingles.

"Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is patient-centered. I believe in a strong doctor and patient relationship that involves mutual respect, honesty, compassion and personal responsibility. I believe an essential part of ""doctoring"" is providing quality medical care in a caring atmosphere where every patient is heard and treated as a unique individual. | Why I entered medicine | Ever since I could remember I had always wanted to go into medicine. I am one of seven children. My mother was a nurse and she always encouraged me to enter the medical profession. She entered nursing school when I was 8 years old. I was brought up watching her study, listening to stories about patients and the hospital. My enthusiasm for medicine continued in high school and college; I loved the sciences. When it was time to fill out my application, I knew being a doctor would enable me to make a positive and meaningful difference in the lives of people when they need it most, and there are not many professions that give us that privilege. | Community involvement | I remain active in the community supporting my church, childrens schools and sports teams. I am also active in the American Heart Association's Lehigh Valley chapter. | Personal interests | As a mother of three beautiful children, wife of a wonderful cardiologist and a solo medical practitioner in internal medicine, personal interests are hard to fit in. My father purchased a home on the Jersey Shore in 1994, which allows me to enjoy the beach and precious time with my family. I also love to ski. I started skiing in medical school and make a yearly trek out West with my family and friends. As a physician, I am always reminding patients of the benefits of regular exercise, and I, too, try to remain physically active. In 2011, I completed the Lehigh Valley Marathon -- that was a very proud moment!". Dr. Persin is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Shingles. Her top areas of expertise are Vitamin D Deficiency, Sitosterolemia, High Cholesterol, and Hypertension.

Philosophy of care | Every patient is different and unique. I like to work with patients as a partner, sitting face to face and talking together. My role is to present various evidence-based treatment options, based on scientific studies. I always encourage patients to ask questions, and I’m there to make sure they understand everything. I’m even happy to write it all down so they can take the information home and think about it. I can’t decide the best treatment for patients by myself, but I can provide options and guidance to help them choose the best care. | Why I entered medicine | My father has diabetes. When I was 15 he started going into a diabetic coma several times a year. The first time it happened, I was at home with my parents where we lived in Taiwan. My mom was crying, so I quickly called my older sister, who is a family doctor in the United States, and asked her what to do. With her help I took his blood pressure, heart rate and checked his blood sugar. I found that I liked caring for my dad and started thinking I’d like to do that for other people someday. But I didn’t really plan to go to medical school until my dad asked one day if I wanted to try. I did, and the rest is history. I’m now helping patients get well and stay healthy, just like I once did for my dad. | Community involvement | I volunteer regularly at my father-in-law’s church in New Jersey. I participate in rummage sales and other fundraisers that support the church community. My other passion is helping animals. I’ve always loved them since I was a child, and my heart cries whenever I see an animal being mistreated. I even thought about becoming a veterinarian before I became a human doctor. I now have two cats that I adopted from a rescue shelter, and I also send regular donations to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). I help whenever I can. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my cats—they’re just like my son and daughter. My husband and I even have a small room in our house just for them, complete with a cat tree and toys. I also love traveling. When I was growing up, my mom took me abroad every vacation. I’ve been to Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Southeast Asia and many other places. I particularly like trying local foods and learning new languages. I speak fluent Chinese and English, plus I know a little Japanese, Korean and Tagalog (spoken in the Philippines). I love to learn new things, and I think seeing many different places and experiencing new cultures has made me a more open person and a better doctor. Dr. Chu is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Shingles. Her top areas of expertise are Cellulitis, Empyema, Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye), and Necrosis.

Philosophy of care | Preventive medicine is the best medicine. People are living longer, healthier lives due to screening tests as well as advancements in treatment. It is a humbling experience to be a patient, and a physician needs to maintain that perspective. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine due to an interest in basis science and clinical care. Medicine provides a unique opportunity to treat an illness at both a molecular and cellular level. With recent advances in these areas, we are able to provide a higher level of care and improve the quality of life for our patients. Medicine is an innovative field and ever-changing. | Community involvement | American College of Physicians; community outreach to promote science programs in schools and student career development. | Personal interests | Alpacas and organic farming.
