Dr. Megan O'brien
Overview
My passion for helping others and my interest in science led me to medicine. I believe in a team-based approach in caring for patients. I am committed to listening and working together with my patients to find an accurate diagnosis and evidence-based treatment plan that is right for them and their lifestyle. I am a general dermatologist and able to take care of all conditions of the skin, hair, and nails, but I have a specific interest in pigmented lesions (moles), melanoma, and melanoma prevention. I also have an interest in the diagnosis and treatment of other skin cancers. I enjoy teaching and am passionate about medical education and training a compassionate, committed, and competent next generation of doctors.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
Duke Dermatology Clinic - Clinic 3K
I have two areas of clinical expertise: cutaneous lymphoma and hair disorders. In the area of cutaneous lymphoma, I have focused my research on clinical trials for new treatments and consensus building to establish standard guidelines for staging, evaluation, and treatment of patients, as well as the methodology used in clinical trials. My patients are invited to participate in my ongoing database, which captures their response to treatments. My goal is to find a cure for these cancers or, barring that, long lasting remissions. In the area of hair disorders, my goal is to help referring physicians diagnose and treat effectively multiple types of hair loss. My consultative practice is now focused on scarring alopecias, including frontal fibrosing alopecia and hair loss in African-American women in which causes are not obvious. My research focuses on collaborative work with multiple centers in the United States to help create knowledge and new treatments.
