Welcome New Member Tory Snyder, D.O.
D
r. Tory Snyder graduated from Florida Southern College in Lakeland, FL with a B.S. in Biology before going on to earn a M.A. in Biology from Drake University in Des Moines, IA. She then completed her medical degree at the Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine, followed by an internship in Internal Medicine at Geisinger Medical Center/PCOM in Danville, PA and a residency in Emergency Medicine at Central Michigan University in Saginaw, MI. From 2004 to June of 2020, Dr. Snyder served as an Attending Physician at Covenant Healthcare in Saginaw, MI—a high-acuity medical and Level 2 trauma center and community teaching hospital. There she supervised and taught Central Michigan University Emergency Medicine residents and CMU medical students, in addition to caring for her own patients. In September of 2020, Dr. Snyder embarked on a fellowship in Addiction Medicine at Tower Health (Caron – Reading Hospital), leading to her current position as a Staff Physician at the Caron Treatment Centers in Wernersville. At Caron she provides detox services to adult and adolescent patients, inpatient care to patients enrolled in Caron’s Primary, Relapse, and Executive programs, and inpatient medication therapy with buprenorphine and Vivitrol. The Berks County Medical Society is proud to count Dr. Snyder among its members and our community is fortunate to have her expertise available. To get to know Dr. Snyder a little better, we asked her to answer a few questions:
Describe the focus of your practice and any areas of special interest/ expertise.
What has brought you to Berks County? I came to Berks County to complete an Addiction Medicine Fellowship and stayed on at Caron.
What do you like best about practicing medicine? Best part of my job at Caron: seeing people recover from addiction and get their lives back on track.
If you could change one thing about the current practice environment, what would it be? No, but I am open to opportunities.
Are you involved in any nonprofit/ community groups at this time? I am not yet involved in nonprofit groups since I just moved to the area, but in the past, I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House and a free health clinic serving West Philadelphia. I look forward to engaging in the Berks County community!
Please tell us a little about your family and the activities you enjoy outside of work. Outside of work I enjoy travel, especially international travel with a focus on mountain adventures.
Inpatient substance abuse detox, medication treatment with buprenorphine, naltrexone, and Vivitrol, and medical care of inpatients (adolescent, adult, and geriatric). “Caron’s treatment philosophy aligns with the goals I have as a physician: to look individually at each patient in order to treat not just the disease but the underlying contributors to that disease and the qualityof-life issues it creates. Our ability to provide medical, psychological, and spiritual care with compassion and empathy can turn lives around. I have seen it in action.” — Dr. Snyder 32 | www.berkscms.org
