Duke Children's Gastroenterology Creekstone
I chose medicine because of my desire to help people live their healthiest lives. I chose pediatric gastroenterology because children and adolescents deserve the opportunity to grow and develop to their full potential. I especially love that this pediatric gastroenterology allows me to work with my hands through endoscopy and colonoscopy to diagnose and treat the conditions that we treat. Within my field, I am specifically interested in eosinophilic esophagitis and inflammatory bowel disease but enjoy seeing and treating everything from mouth to bottom.
