Meet your Scranton care team: Justin Tunis, MD
Chad Walker, DO Rheumatologist
Primary care sports medicine specialis Dr. Justin Tunis enjoys outdoor activities in his native northeast Pennsylvania, and finds great enjoyment in seeing his patients being able to return to their own athletics and healthy endeavors. “In my field, I mainly see individuals with acute injuries which limit their activity,” says Dr. Tunis, a fellowship-trained, boardcertified primary care sports medicine physician who specializes in nonsurgical treatments of musculoskeletal injuries. “It’s extremely rewarding to see those patients improve and be able to get back to doing what they love — whether that’s a high school sport, a college sport, a professional sport or simply getting back to healthy activity without being burdened by pain.”
Dr. Chad Walker is a northeas Pennsylvanian, born and raised. He’s also a fellowship-trained, board certified rheumatologist driven to help patients live their best lives. “Rheumatology sparked my fascination,” says Dr. Walker, who has cared for Scranton-area patients with conditions such as lupus, arthritis, gout and inflammatory muscle diseases for nearly 10 years. “The diseases rheumatologists encounter often involve dysfunctions of the immune system that cause different physical signs and symptoms. I find it very rewarding to help diagnose and treat these patients,” says Dr. Walker, who serves as president of the Lackawanna County Medical Society. “The field of rheumatology has significantly advanced to offer us many different treatment options and help people with lifethreatening illness live longer, better lives.”
