In 2007, Dr. Sumner received the “Faith In Action” recognition from Saint Joseph’s University for her contribution to the community and dedication to education. She was also noted to be the Patient-Centered Medical Home Resident for her residency program, in efforts to improve the provision of comprehensive and preventative care to every patient that walks through the doors of their practice.
Dr. Sumner’s medical philosophy is inclusive of both traditional and alternative therapies and is focused on patient education and explaining things in non-technical language. As a result, patients have an increased sense of personal management of their own health, and family members are invited to attend appointments. She is particularly interested in medical media and preventive medicine, in addition to women’s health and adolescent medicine.
