I am an immunologist who treats primary immunodeficiencies in children and adults. I see patients with recurrent infections and fevers, drug allergies, hereditary angioedema, and secondary immunodeficiencies. Our program offers cutting-edge clinical trials to provide the best treatment options for patients with immunodeficiencies. When I first meet patients, I try to put them at ease. Coming to a doctor's office can cause a lot of anxiety, especially for children. I try to identify key issues, as well as strategies to help with those problems. My goal is to improve the quality of life for children and adults so they can lead a normal life. Outside of work, I enjoy martial arts, gardening, cooking, and spending time with my wife and three children.

I care for patients and families seeking bone marrow transplants, cellular therapies, and gene therapies for high-risk cancers, genetic and metabolic disorders, and primary immune deficiencies. I work closely with a comprehensive team to ensure the best long-term outcomes and quality of life. I am attentive to the needs of my patients, as well as their caregivers and families. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and exploring new cultures. Dr. Mahadeo is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Chronic Granulomatous Disease. His top areas of expertise are Hepatic Venoocclusive Disease with Immunodeficiency, Leukemia, Infantile Neutropenia, Bone Marrow Transplant, and Tissue Biopsy.

The Division of Cellular Therapy does bone marrow transplants and stem cell transplants for patients with different types of blood cancers. Specifically, I see patients with multiple myeloma or other plasma cell issues like amyloidosis. Many of the cases in my clinic are difficult. So I spend a lot of time talking with my patients, explaining the disease when they come as new patients and talking about the complexity of the disease, because it’s important that they understand what to ask their physicians here at Duke and at home. There’s no standard treatment for myeloma. We have different options – continuation of therapy, immediate transplant or transplant later. I like to explain to patients why I favor a certain treatment approach and why I think it would be the best approach for them.

I specialize in leukemia, myeloid neoplasm, adult bone marrow transplantation, and cellular therapies. I have been inspired by many patients and their loved ones going through the challenging journey to cure underlying leukemia and myeloid neoplasms and feel very privileged to serve them. I am dedicated to clinical research that aims to expand access to bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapies. I am passionate about improving the outcomes of adult bone marrow transplant patients by preventing the relapse of leukemia. In order to do this, we are developing a comprehensive machine learning algorithm to predict relapse after transplantation. I strive to make a meaningful difference in the treatment of patients with hematologic malignancies.

I am motivated to unlock the mysteries of human immunology and to understand how to treat the many aspects of health problems that occur in immune deficiencies. My clinical and basic science research goals include studying common variable immune deficiency (CVID). My career in medicine has been a journey. Committed to become a physician at the age of five, I desired to learn how to help people feel better. Over time, and a few degrees later, I discovered the best way to help people through my study of medicine is to not only care for them through thoughtful listening and problem solving, but also to study through an active research program in the lab those questions I cannot answer. I chose to select training that encompassed both traditional medical school curriculum as well as bench and clinic science.
