Dr. Michelle Ponder
Overview
I am a clinical endocrinologist with a special interest in obesity medicine. Here at Duke Health, I see patients with a wide variety of hormonal conditions in the clinic and I also work with the cardiometabolic prevention program to help patients with high-risk conditions reduce their personal risk. I treat each patient first and foremost as a person. I make sure that our treatment plan aligns with each patient's priorities and lifestyle so they can live long and healthy lives. I am honored to provide care here at Duke Health, a world class medical center with all of the resources needed for timely and accurate diagnoses and treatment. Every day I consider myself lucky to practice endocrinology. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy public speaking opportunities to help educate the general public, students, and other physicians. I also hope to help reduce the stigma that exists for patients with obesity.
