Overview
I specialize in patients with liver diseases, ranging anywhere from abnormal liver tests to liver damage such as cirrhosis. I also enjoy performing a variety of gastrointestinal procedures such as screening colonoscopies, endoscopies, and banding varices of the esophagus. I became a physician because I love getting to know my patients, and I believe that treating patients means getting to know them on a personal level. Trust and open communication between myself and my patients is one of the most important things to me. I chose to specialize in liver disease because I love developing long term relationships with my patients, and liver disease is an evolving field with more and more treatment options being uncovered every day, including advances in liver transplantation. I grew up in the Detroit area of Michigan, and have fallen in love with everything North Carolina has to offer. When I'm not seeing patients, I enjoy playing soccer with my husband, board games, spending time at the Durham Museum of Life and Science with my daughter, and reading fantasy novels.
