Overview

I am an adult neurologist with further specialization in neuro-oncology. I treat adult patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors of the brain and spine. My focus is combining compassionate patient-centered care with cutting-edge research. I want my patients to not only live longer, but also live better.

What I love most about my job is seeing the courage and strength exhibited by my patients and their families.

As a dedicated neurologist with a specialization in general and vascular neurology, I primarily treat patients suffering from stroke. Due to the preventable nature of stroke, I strive to focus on the stroke etiology. My work includes participation in innovative clinical trials primarily on stroke identification and later rehabilitation, allowing me to bring the latest treatments to my patients. My decision to pursue neurology was driven by a fascination with the intricacies of the human brain and a desire to provide tangible relief to those affected by neurological disorders. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy people and nature photography. Dr. Shekhar is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL). His top areas of expertise are Stroke, Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD), Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR), and Aortic Valve Replacement.

I am a neurologist and cancer doctor who treats brain tumors and researches ways to improve quality of life for brain tumor patients. As a college student, I thought I was going to be a scientist, but fell in love with studying the brain and its inner workings. I enjoy being at Duke, because I work with some of the top clinicians and researchers in the field, and a generous and warm-hearted staff that helps patients and their loved ones through treatment. It is hard to pick one thing I enjoy about my job. I enjoy seeing patients and their loved ones, being at the cutting edge of research and teaching the next generation of doctors. I think it is the chance to do so many different things that makes my job special. Outside of work, I enjoy shopping at farmer’s markets, cooking and exercising. I also collect Swatch watches - I have over 400!. Dr. Peters is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL). Her top areas of expertise are Embryonal Tumor with Multilayered Rosettes, Glioblastoma, Gliosarcoma, and Neuroepithelioma.
