Overview
I have been an internist for almost 20 years, the last three with Duke Primary Care. My areas of interest are preventive medicine, women’s health and diabetes management. While every physician has a different source of love for their job, I believe that the single most significant motivator for me is the ability to see the positive impact I can have on people’s lives. Throughout my practice as an internist, besides providing compassionate care, I have loved being able to foster patient empowerment through education and guidance. I’m a proud mother of two children, one in high school and the other in college. My husband, a cardiologist, motivates me to exercise regularly -- as I often advise my patients. Hiking, traveling, cooking and listening to music are my favorite pastime activities when I am not working.

Duke Primary Care Pickett Road
I have been an internist for many years, having first worked in upstate New York in my own private practice. My family and I moved to North Carolina in 2005. In addition to caring for my own panel of patients, I am involved in administrative work as well as teaching at the medical center and at Duke Primary Care Pickett Road. I especially enjoy internal medicine because of the problem solving that is often required to diagnose adult illnesses, and I savor the long-term relationships that I have with many of my patients. On a personal note, I have three wonderful teenage children, a black lab puppy, and my wife is a vascular surgeon. All keep me busy at home, but in my small amount of free time, I also enjoy road biking and have participated in a number of sprint and Olympic-length triathlons over the last 10 years. "".
