Overview
After working for almost six years in family medicine, my love of neurology led me to pursue further training to become a neurologist and epilepsy specialist. My practice is divided into two main settings. In the inpatient setting, I take care of patients with neurological emergencies, like stroke and seizures, as well as neurological complications from other illnesses. My outpatient practice focuses on post-hospitalization care of patients with neurological illnesses, as well as on patients with neurological conditions like intractable epilepsy, headache, and multiple sclerosis. I like to spend time getting to know my patients, collaborating with their families if needed, and exploring the root cause of a problem rather than just treating their symptoms or illness. I like to treat my patients the way I would like myself or my family to be treated.

Duke Neurological Disorders Clinic - Clinic 1L
I am a neurologist who focuses on multiple sclerosis and related inflammatory conditions of the brain. I attended Duke as an undergraduate student and then again as a neurology resident and fellow. After a career in the Navy, I returned to Duke as part of the faculty in 2002. I am proud to be a part of the Department of Neurology because of its commitment to expanding expertise in the area of multiple sclerosis, not just for our own patients, but for people worldwide. I love the challenge of figuring out the best treatment for each individual I care for, and I am passionate about educating patients about the risks and benefits of the different therapies available so they can partner with me in making decisions about their health. I am committed to providing the best care possible to my patients and giving them hope for the future. Dr. Skeen is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Encephalitis.

Duke Neurological Disorders Clinic - Clinic 1L
"Neurologic conditions can be scary, and neuroimmunologic conditions even more so. It's easy to feel in the dark about what is happening. I approach patient care with just as much attention to empowering education as I do to disease management. I strive to ""turn the lights on"" so people know more about their conditions, what to expect, and (most importantly) what we can do about them. If we ever meet, don't be surprised if I quote John Steinbeck or offer advice on your next mobile device.". Dr. Hartsell is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Encephalitis. His top areas of expertise are Neuromyelitis Optica, Optic Neuritis, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS).
