Overview
I am a Raleigh native, and I have been practicing Neurosurgery as a physician assistant for over three years. I aim to be an ever-present resource for my patients, as I know any problem with the brain can be extra scary and confusing. I hope to provide clarity and reassurance during your treatment and care while working very closely with the talented surgeons at Duke Neurosurgery of Raleigh. In my spare time, I enjoy serving those without access to health care, both locally and globally. I also love fitness, yoga, and nutrition and learning about preventative and functional medicine.

Duke Cancer Center Brain Tumor Clinic
What we specialize in at The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center is compassionate care – we take care of our patients. It’s complete care. The patients don’t have to go out and find a radiologist. We have the radiation oncologist, the chemotherapy, the surgery, the radiology, we have all kinds of nursing people as well as help getting physical therapy and getting in-the-home assistance. Patients also can expect cutting-edge care because we run such a terrific science program here. I really like working with the patients. No question about it. It’s not that I’m doing some trivial procedure six times a day. When someone comes in with a brain tumor, there’s usually some bonding, and instead of running away from that, I really enjoy it.
