My practice centers on the care of patients with digestive diseases. My particular area of interest and expertise is inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. I find my work with patients very rewarding since we now have many more treatment options for patients with IBD and there are more innovations on the horizon. For me, the most important aspect of being a physician is to develop an honest, trust-based relationship with patients which allows us to work together. When I'm not seeing patients, I enjoy travel, movies, museums, reading and growing tropical plants. Dr. Chachu is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in Gastrectomy.

I am a gastroenterologist and the medical director of the gastrointestinal (GI) program at Duke Raleigh Hospital. I enjoy being at Duke, because our team is one of the most experienced in the Southeastern United States. Most of the patients I see have diseases of the biliary or pancreatic systems including blockages. Some of these can be malignant. When I first meet a patient, I like to know their expectations for treatment. I also like to meet the patient’s loved ones and answer any questions they may have at the very first visit. After we talk, I review the patient’s x-rays and records. The next step is to discuss the results with my colleagues as a team, so we can come up with a unique treatment plan that is personalized for each patient. The most rewarding part of my job is the interaction with patients. If I can provide immediate help, I’m even happier. Dr. Obando is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in Gastrectomy. His top areas of expertise are Pancreatic Cancer, Neuroendocrine Tumor, Familial Pancreatic Cancer, Endoscopy, and Pancreatectomy.

I became a doctor because of my lifelong desire to help people. In fact, when asked as a young child to draw a picture of what I wanted to be when I grew up, I drew a picture of myself with a stethoscope. Gastroenterology appealed to me because it involves complaints that almost everyone experiences at some point, and helping people feel better is very gratifying. In my practice, I see adults with common digestive tract issues, including heartburn, abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits, as well as a focus in seeing patients with inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease). I believe spending the time to get a detailed history from each patient is valuable, not only for diagnosing and successfully treating or managing these conditions but also for establishing an open, comfortable physician-patient relationship.

His top areas of expertise are Colorectal Cancer, Familial Colorectal Cancer, Viral Gastroenteritis, Endoscopy, and Gastrectomy.

My mother was a dedicated nurse, and I learned early on what a privilege it is to be involved in the care of others. As a physician, I strive to take care of my patients as if they were a close family member. I have spent most of my career teaching other physicians how to practice gastroenterology, and I always impart to them the importance of being thorough and thoughtful in their evaluations. I see adult patients with a variety of gastroenterology conditions, such as heartburn, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. I have a special interest in performing colon cancer screening and performing diagnostic and therapeutic upper and lower endoscopy. Outside of my work, I love to spend time with my family and play board games, bike, and engage in the occasional indoor snowball fight. Dr. Ghassemi is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in Gastrectomy. Her top areas of expertise are Painful Swallowing, Swallowing Difficulty, Gastroparesis, Colonoscopy, and Endoscopy.

I chose to become a surgical oncologist because of the unique opportunity for complex surgical care and longer-term follow-up. The interpersonal relationships with patients serve to motivate me as a physician. Recognizing how difficult it must be as a patient diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening illness, I strive to minimize the stress on patients and families. I do this by educating them about their diagnosis and potential treatments, enabling them to make key decisions in their care and closely caring for them for the duration of their recovery from surgery. I am humbled by the faith and confidence that patients place in their surgeons, and I strive to always exceed their expectations. Following 20 years of service on active duty in the Army, I am eager to join the team at Duke University Medical Center and provide the best possible care to our patients.
