I am the medical director of the kidney and pancreas transplant programs at Duke Health, and I take care of patients undergoing kidney transplants. What led me into medicine was a passion for taking care of patients. Kidney transplant requires a very complex team, and I enjoy the collaboration among providers and the challenge of helping the team operate more efficiently. I love seeing patients and developing relationships with them. I always try to be very open and candid about the process and plan for care. When I evaluate patients, I always try to view them as a whole person to make sure that transplant is the right choice for them. I grew up in New Mexico but have lived in North Carolina for over two decades. I now consider myself a native North Carolinian and a die-hard Duke fan. In my free time, I am very active with my family and coach soccer and basketball. Dr. Ellis is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection. His top areas of expertise are Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS), Fibrolamellar Carcinoma, and Kidney Transplant.

I am a transplant nephrologist specializing in the evaluation and care of kidney and pancreas transplant patients. I joined Duke Health in 2023 to lead the living donor kidney transplant program. Our living donor team is actively working to increase access to these life saving transplants by removing barriers to donation and through innovative use of paired donor exchange. Helping people live a longer, healthier life through transplant is my passion. I also value getting to know my patients and their loved ones, and seeing them through life's challenges and successes. I am a native North Carolinian coming back home and am proud to be part of the dedicated transplant team at Duke Health. Dr. Vranic is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection. Her top areas of expertise are Chronic Antibody-Mediated Rejection, Vitamin D Deficiency, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), Febrile Neutropenia, and Kidney Transplant.
