Overview
In pediatric gastroenterology, we see children of all ages with disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. This can include disorders of the esophagus (food tube), stomach, pancreas, liver, gall bladder, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. I have a particular interest in caring for children with disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), such as irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia. DGBI in children may be associated with chronic abdominal pain and meal-related symptoms. I also have a particular interest in caring for children with motility disorders. These include disorders such as esophageal achalasia, gastroparesis, intestinal pseudo-obstruction, and severe constipation. Pediatric gastroenterologists at Duke collaborate with several specialty colleagues in areas such as pediatric surgery, physical therapy, psychology, otolaryngology, and pulmonology to provide cutting-edge clinical care. We also educate pediatric gastroenterology trainees and lead academic innovation through quality initiatives and research to improve pediatric digestive health.

Duke Children's Health Center Urology Clinic
I treat children with disorders of the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and genitalia. My particular specialties are treating children with urologic cancer, disorders of sex differentiation, complex birth defects, hypospadias, kidney stones, bladder/bowel dysfunction and incontinence, and spina bifida. My top priority is to find the most effective and least invasive treatment option for every child and every family I see. I have advanced fellowship training in robotic and minimally-invasive surgery, so I am able to offer this option to children who might benefit from a less-invasive surgery. I am a member of the American Urological Association, the Society for Pediatric Urology, the Society for Fetal Urology, and the Children's Oncology Group.
