Overview
I am the chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Duke Children's Hospital. I treat a wide variety of conditions affecting the brain and spine in children, including tumors, hydrocephalus, trauma, and craniosynostosis. I consider it a real privilege to earn a family's trust with their child's health. I enjoy building relationships with the family unit and understanding the specific details of their situation that need consideration in their child's care to ensure a smooth hospitalization experience. Our team leverages the expertise available at Duke Children's Hospital to achieve the best possible outcome for each patient. Witnessing a child return to a normal or improved life after intervention is incredibly gratifying, and seeing them thrive years later is one of the most special aspects of pediatric 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.
