    I went into medicine because I enjoy helping people, teaching, and problem-solving. The endocrinology field allows me to fulfill my passion given I can help patients with many different complex chronic diseases. My clinical interests include diabetes, lipid disorders, and post-bariatric surgery endocrine disorders. I also have an interest in thyroid nodules, hyperthyroidism, and hyperparathyroidism. For patients with long-term complex or unstable endocrine conditions, I work with a team of providers, including endocrine-trained nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and clinical pharmacists, to help manage your care. I have a mature endocrine practice and believe in an interdisciplinary team-based approach to care. For patients with endocrine conditions that have stabilized, my team can also provide consultative guidance to help your primary care manage your endocrine condition.

    As a doctor who practices concierge medicine at Duke Signature Care, I have a smaller panel of patients compared to when I worked in primary care. This allows me to have more one-on-one time with my patients. I now have the flexibility to answer patient emails and phone calls directly instead of them having to speak with a nurse. My accessibility also allows patients to book acute visits on the same day they need to see me. My patients give me such satisfaction when I see them smile and doing better. I tend to be a picky doctor that leaves no stone unturned. I also look at both the physical and mental well-being of my patients to help provide the best care. I love being a part of Duke and its academic center with specialists at my fingertips. When I’m not being a doctor, I’m a mom of two girls. My husband and I also love to travel, hike, snorkel and play golf. Dr. Phelps is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Familial Hypercholesterolemia.

    What is the definition of Familial Hypercholesterolemia?

    Familial hypercholesterolemia is a common genetic condition that causes high blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or bad, cholesterol. This bad cholesterol builds up in the arteries, causing them to harden and narrow. Familial hypercholesterolemia increases the risks of cardiovascular disease and heart attack.

    When should I see a Familial Hypercholesterolemia doctor near Durham, NC?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Familial Hypercholesterolemia doctor near Durham, NC?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Familial Hypercholesterolemia doctors near Durham, NC?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Familial Hypercholesterolemia doctors near Durham, NC?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Familial Hypercholesterolemia doctor near Durham, NC?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Familial Hypercholesterolemia doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Familial Hypercholesterolemia doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Familial Hypercholesterolemia doctor near Durham, NC?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Familial Hypercholesterolemia doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Familial Hypercholesterolemia doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Familial Hypercholesterolemia doctors near Durham, NC?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Familial Hypercholesterolemia doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Familial Hypercholesterolemia doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Familial Hypercholesterolemia doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
