Dr. Maria J. Small
Overview
I am a maternal-fetal medicine specialist within the field of obstetrics and gynecology. My specific interests are in the area of high-risk maternal medical conditions like hypertension, diabetes and preeclampsia. One of the advantages of coming to Duke is the breadth of specialty support available. My favorite part of my job is my patients. I’m originally from Durham and grew up here, so, I feel like I’m giving back to the community that supported me in this role. Being a physician allows me to combine my love of medicine and my compassion for people. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and going to the beach.

Duke University Hospital
I was a graduate student working on a combined MD and PhD in neuroscience research when my twin boys arrived prematurely and needed the services of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This experience in the NICU environment inspired me to continue my work in neuroscience and specialize in neonatology. As a neonatologist, I care for newborn infants who require intensive care for different reasons, including being born prematurely, with heart defects or brain injuries. Providing treatment for critically ill infants, and helping to bring them to a place of stability and health, is truly gratifying. In addition to the clinical care I provide, I am involved in research regarding how to both mitigate and treat brain injuries which occur in infants due to premature birth.
