Tyler Murphy, DO

Hi I'm Tyler. I grew up all over the country, but Idaho is home. I'm married and have two daughters that are 4 and 1.5. When I'm not at the hospital I can typically be found outside with my family. I grew up skiing, hiking, hunting and really just doing anything outdoors. Now my goal in life is to convince my daughters to love the outdoors as much as I do. When it's too hot outside I can be found inside reading a good book.

My name is Rumin Shah. I’ve moved around quite a bit growing up, 11 states total. However, I grew up majority of my life in Northern Virginia. I went to undergrad at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia where I majored in Biology. So unique, I know. I attended medical school at VCOM-VA in Blacksburg, Virginia. I enjoy Lititz, especially because of its unique food options and local breweries. Its’ close proximity to Lancaster is also nice, because it gives a city-feel to it. In my free time, I enjoy being active by playing multiple sports, hiking, cooking, playing video games, and trying new cuisines.

My name is Joe Carter, and I grew up in Northern Virginia (Fairfax, VA). I chose to study biology at Christopher Newport University (CNU), which inherently allowed me to enjoy the perks of local beach life. I had the opportunity to play football at CNU, where I started as the team’s punter. I then attended Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine - Virginia (VCOM-VA) in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Blacksburg, VA. I love beach-life, fishing, golfing, cooking, football, and going on adventures with my wife and our rescue dog, Rambo.

Eric Sugarman, DO

Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine
Philadelphia, PA

I'm Eric Sugarman, the oldest of three siblings, raised in Livingston, NJ. I became dedicated to soccer at a young age and eventually played out my career in college. My siblings shared my passion for soccer and followed in suit! I pursued my higher education at Brown University, where I studied Business, Economics, and Entrepreneurship.

After completing my undergraduate studies, I took on the challenge of fulfilling premedical course requirements at the University of Pennsylvania, paving the way for my journey into PCOM. In my spare time, you'll often find me cycling, running, or hiking with my wife and our dog. Academically, I have a keen interest in exercise physiology, and I enjoy delving deeper into this field to expand my knowledge and enhance my own fitness regimen.
