Overview

I have over twenty years of experience as a hematologist-oncologist focusing in hematologic malignancies, leukemias, lymphomas, myeloma, and myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative syndromes. My patient care philosophy stresses interactive discussions with patients and their families on what to expect from the illness and treatment options, making sure that all their concerns and questions are addressed. Caring for patients with cancer is complex and my care team is dedicated to helping patients with the family, social, emotional, and financial issues, in addition to compassionate medical care.

Dr. Kirby is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Anemia. Her top areas of expertise are Hairy Cell Leukemia (HCL), Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), Multiple Myeloma, Follicular Lymphoma, and Bone Marrow Aspiration.

Her clinical research consists of co-authoring 4 peer reviewed articles and participating in 1 clinical trial. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.

As director of Duke’s sickle cell transition program, my practice and research focuses on treating children and adults with sickle cell disease. When I work with children, I try to focus on teaching them about their condition and how to transition successfully to living with the disease as an adult. For all patients, I focus on providing the medical, social and psychological support they need to remain healthy. My research aims to increase engagement of sickle cell patients with their own care using mobile technology. Through the use of applications, we’re hoping to help patients, specifically children, better manage their symptoms and medications. Outside of work, I have a strong interest in art. In fact, one of my undergraduate majors was biological illustration. I enjoy drawing plants, animals and people. I’ve recently started getting back into this hobby. Dr. Shah is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Anemia. His top areas of expertise are Sickle Cell Disease, Congenital Hemolytic Anemia, Hemoglobinopathy, Hemolytic Anemia, and Bone Marrow Transplant.
