Overview

I treat all rheumatic diseases with a special interest and expertise in the management of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS). I also have a focus in the area of adolescent and young adult health and am always eager to work with patients in this age group as they develop skills for independently managing their health and navigate the process of transferring from pediatric to adult rheumatology care. Having completed both adult and pediatric rheumatology fellowships, I am fortunate to be able to work with young adult rheumatology patients throughout their transition process.

Dr. Sadun is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Lupus Nephritis. Her top areas of expertise are Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Lupus Nephritis, Fibromyalgia, and Dermatomyositis.

Her clinical research consists of co-authoring 58 peer reviewed articles and participating in 1 clinical trial. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years. In particular, she has co-authored 10 articles in the study of Lupus Nephritis.

I enjoy the long-term relationships I build with patients as a rheumatologist. My primary areas of clinical expertise in rheumatology are systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, lupus) and inflammatory myopathies, especially dermatomyositis and the antisynthetase syndrome. I co-founded the Duke Lupus Clinic in 2007. I am also a passionate educator and mentor. I have led the Duke Rheumatology Fellowship Program to train rheumatology doctors since 2008. I chair the Department of Medicine Faculty Development Academy to mentor education scholars, and I serve as the Vice Chair for Education for the Duke Department of Medicine. In this role, I oversee educational programs throughout the Department of Medicine. When not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children, exercising, and gardening. Dr. Criscione-Schreiber is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Lupus Nephritis. Her top areas of expertise are Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Dermatomyositis, Lupus Nephritis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
