I am trained in internal medicine with a specialty in geriatrics. This allows me to provide care from young to older adults. My passion has always been to provide meaningful patient care informed by evidence-based medicine and more importantly patient’s health goals. I, along with my care team, emphasize safety, overall healthy lifestyle, and prevention. We are committed to providing you with an exceptional experience. I also focus on cardiovascular management and memory assessment. Additionally, my multicultural background has allowed me to provide patient care in various parts of the world and help further broaden my perspective.

I chose family medicine as a career due to the opportunity to get to know patients over time. Practicing medicine is a privilege, and patients make it a joy. True health and healing occur through relationships of trust in which a provider understands all of the different aspects of a person's life that affect their health. I spent the first half of my career in academic medicine, helping medical students become physicians. As much as I enjoyed this work, I knew that I wanted to spend the second half of my career in direct patient care: my true passion. My husband and I are from the Triangle, so this change allowed us to come 'home'. We have five children, who we adore and who keep us very busy outside of work. We enjoy all things outdoors and you can find us on a sports field/court supporting our kids most days of the week.

It is the diversity of individual human experiences, backgrounds, ethnicities, and belief systems that led me to family medicine. My own background is Korean-American. My parents are both immigrants from South Korea. I was born and grew up in the United States. I went to college in New York and then spent two years with the Peace Corps in Burkina Faso. My medical training included deeply memorable experiences from rotations through the Indian Health Service in Arizona to riding small planes to villages in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta of Western Alaska. Prior to coming to Duke, I worked in rural North Carolina. I see patients of all ages from newborn to end of life care. My interests include preventive medicine, women’s health, maternal child health and international health issues. My husband is an anthropologist and we have two young children.

I’ve always enjoyed interacting with people, and I feel like it is a privilege to care for them at this level. I take pride in the fact that I can usually make people feel very comfortable. I also feel that as a physician I am able to empower my patients to take care of themselves. It’s a group effort. I really enjoy seeing children. I probably have one of the bigger pediatric populations in my practice. I enjoy seeing families and watching kids grow up. Before I started here, I was in private practice in Florida for more than five years. My wife and I moved back to the area when she was pregnant with our first child, because this is the area in which we wanted to raise a family. It’s a wonderful place for young families and children.
