Experienced in Diabetic Nephropathy

Overview

I came to Duke for medical school in 1981, remained here for all of my training, and joined the faculty in 1991. I enjoy participating in the care of patients in all phases of kidney disease. I have a special interest in kidney transplantation, and I particularly value the opportunity to see the same patient over time.
