ANDREW R. SHORB, MD

My name is Andrew R. Shorb, MD. I grew up in York, Pennsylvania before traveling to Nashville, Tennessee to attend Vanderbilt University. I earned a B.S. in Molecular Biology in 1997 and went on to graduate from Penn State College of Medicine in the Class of 2001. I completed my Otorhinolaryngology residency at the University of Maryland Medical Center/ Shock Trauma Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland in 2006. Following my residency, I returned to York, Pennsylvania to join York ENT Associates where I have been practicing for 15 years. Our practice serves the southcentral Pennsylvania and northern Maryland region and operates independently between the two local health systems. In addition, I have been serving as the Chair of the Division of Otolaryngology within the department of surgery.

My interest in the Pa. Medical Society Leadership Academy began with the recognition that our expanding private group could not thrive without appropriate leadership and vision. Within the last three years, we have acquired two physicians, a nurse practitioner, an audiologist, and approximately 15 new staff members. We have negotiated an updated on-call agreement with two hospital systems as well as purchasing and renovating an office building. I am looking forward to the 2021 leadership program.

What made you decide to become a physician and how did you choose your specialty? I entered medical school with an interest in surgery and one of the ENT doctors at Hershey sparked my interest and encouraged me to attend resident events in my 4th year.

What do you do in your free time? I am an avid runner and a coach for the York Suburban Middle School Cross Country Team. I enjoy playing tennis, skiing, reading and traveling.

What is your favorite vacation spot? One of my favorites is Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

BOARD MEMBER-AT-LARGE MICHAEL DANIELS, DO Board Member-at-Large

Michael Daniels, DO, is a board-certified nephrologist in York. He obtained a Bachelor of Arts from Lehigh University with a double major in Behavioral Neuroscience and Economics. He then attended medical school at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and did both Internal Medicine residency and Nephrology fellowship at Lehigh Valley Health Network in Allentown. He has resided in the York area since 2016 where he is a partner at Nephrology Associates of York.

He has a wife and two small children. In his free time, he enjoys reading, movies, spending time with family, outdoor activities, and playing the piano and the guitar. He is an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan. While vacationing is rare these days, when he has a chance to get away his favorite places to travel are Europe, Aruba, and family trips to Disney World.

From a young age, the importance of education and a strong work ethic was instilled on him by his parents who are both educators. His love of learning and teaching others lead him to the medical field. He was lucky to have good mentors early in his studies that served as inspiration. In addition to healing and caring for others, the science and continual advancements in medicine make the field one of the most rewarding occupations. He enjoys his job as a nephrologist because of the challenge of understanding and applying renal physiology. He also likes being able to see a variety of patients in a number of different settings from the clinic and dialysis unit to the intensive care unit.
