I am a neurosurgeon and care for children and young adults. I focus on minimally invasive approaches to improve the quality of life of my patients. Your patient experience is very important to me, and I will strive to provide the best possible care for you and your family. I will always go the extra mile to try to improve your care. I care for conditions that affect the brain and spine, including tumors, epilepsy, Chiari malformations, hydrocephalus, craniosynostosis, vascular conditions such as AVMs and Moya Moya disease, and complex tethered cords. I learn so much from my patients and really look forward to getting to know all of them. I strive to bring the best collaborative team to the table to achieve the best possible outcome. I am delighted to provide the most innovative, holistic, and compassionate neurosurgical care at Duke Health. I am also a professor and Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery.

Pediatric Neurosurgery became my chosen path due to a combination of firsthand experiences and a profound desire to make a difference in the lives of children. I love the variety of cases and am fascinated with embryology and congenital malformations. I specialize in brain tumors, spinal cord tumors, tethered cord, myelomeningocele, Chiari malformation, hydrocephalus, congenital malformations, and minimally invasive techniques using neuro-endoscopy. I am dual trained, completing an enfolded skull base fellowship and a pediatric neurosurgery fellowship. I firmly believe that being a compassionate and empathetic doctor is as crucial as possessing excellent surgical skills. My personal experience of losing my own child has deepened my understanding of the emotional and psychological challenges that parents face when their child is dealing with a serious medical condition. This unique perspective has inspired me to be more than just a surgeon; it has motivated me to be a source of support, understanding, and solace for parents during their difficult journeys. In addition to being a neurosurgeon, I am a wife and a mother who loves reading, jigsaw puzzles, traveling, and spending time with my wonderful husband and children.
