About Dr. James T Wertz

I believe in treating patients as equals and friends. When a patient visits, I want to make them comfortable sharing what's happening with their health. I don't like to lecture people, but I believe it's important to educate patients about preventative medicine. It's crucial to catch small issues before they become big problems. It's very enjoyable and rewarding, especially when I see patients in the hospital and in the office, knowing that what I am doing has an impact. I also like to find out what's going on in their lives beyond the medical aspects-with their grandchildren, where they are going on vacation-just meeting people every day and getting to know them. Growing up, I played football and basketball in school, and I was always interested in how the body works. But my mom says it goes back even further than that-she says I talked about being a doctor from the time I was 4 years old. I can't imagine doing anything else-it's who I am. I earned my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. I completed my internship and residency in Internal Medicine at Allentown Osteopathic Medical Center. I also spend time at Muhlenberg teaching interns, residents, and medical students. I'm caring, passionate, loyal, and intense-intense in a good way. I care deeply about everything I do and everything that goes on around me. I love my family and spend as much time with them as possible. My wife and I have three children. And of course, we have our dog, a German Shorthaired Pointer, who's definitely an important member of our family, too. I also spend a lot of time following sports-the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team and the Eagles.
