I feel very blessed to have a profession that allows me to serve patients with both cancerous and non-cancerous diseases of the head and neck. As a head and neck surgeon, I carefully weigh the risks and benefits of treatment — working with our team to maximize the chance for cure while maintaining the highest quality of life. As a physician, my approach to patient care includes addressing one's physical, emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual needs and well-being. My research endeavors strive to improve the care we provide to patients with head and neck cancers. I have had a research program in tumor immunotherapy. I am active in addressing global health needs, being involved with regular humanitarian mission trips throughout the world. I am also active in training the next generation of surgeons that are able to address and solve challenges in an ethical and virtuous way. I have, along with my colleagues, developed and instituted a virtue-based approach to residency training that will meet this need. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four kids in a variety of activities. Dr. Lee is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Mouth Ulcers.

As an otolaryngologist, I treat people with common ear, nose, and throat complaints, including enlarged thyroid gland, hoarseness, and swallowing difficulties. I also do complex reconstructive surgeries following trauma or cancer operations. I specialize in caring for patients with cancer of the facial skin, mouth, throat, thyroid, salivary glands, and voice box. When my dad had cancer, seeing the amazing care he received made me want to treat this wonderful patient population. I love getting to know my patients on a personal level and establishing real relationships with them during the years that I follow them. Outside of work, I enjoy cycling, pencil sketches, reading, and spending time with my son and my grandson. Dr. Cannon is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Mouth Ulcers.

I enjoy taking care of patients with tumors, both benign and malignant, in the head and neck, including skin cancer. I will shoot it to you straight, help guide you through the process, and make sure you leave with all your questions answered. I have an easy-breezy bedside manner and most patients leave with a smile on their faces. When I am not taking care of patients, you will find me in my research laboratory where I seek to improve clinical outcomes in the cancer patients I treat. For fun, I am an avid equestrian, and I try to ride 2-3 times a week. I love to cook and entertain family and friends.

I provide comprehensive care of ear, nose, and throat problems. I have particular interest in surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea, offering some of the most novel approaches to provide a permanent solution to sleep apnea. I also have interest in nasal and sinus problems. As a Fellow of the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy, I manage the allergy program (allergy drops), and I care for patients with some of the most chronic sinus diseases. I have now more than 25 years of experience caring for children and adult patients with routine issues (like ear infections, tonsil problems) and complex problems (like head and neck masses and cancers, thyroid problems). My clinic is next to Duke Raleigh Hospital, where we've built an excellent team of fellow otolaryngologists, nurses and medical assistants, front office staff, and therapists.

I practice general otolaryngology, providing care for both children and adults with ear, nose, and throat problems, including both medical and surgical treatment options. My special interests include nasal and sinus problems as well as voice disorders. I believe one of the most exciting aspects of ENT care is our increasing ability to offer more surgical treatment to patients in the office setting rather than the operating room. When I’m not practicing medicine, I enjoy eating at Durham’s great restaurants with my wonderful husband and son. I also practice yoga, which helps me create balance in my life.
