Dr. Kristin M. Schroeder
Overview
I am a pediatric hematologist and oncologist, with further specialization in neuro-oncology. I treat pediatric patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors in the brain and spine. I am also involved in the Duke Comprehensive Neurofibromatosis Clinic where I see children and adults with neurofibromatosis type I and II. I believe that all children should have the same chance of cure regardless of where they live. I work both here at Duke and in Tanzania, Africa to help families navigate through what is an incredibly difficult time in their lives. My patients always show such incredible courage and strength, and I am honored to be a part of their treatment team. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling in the U.S. and abroad, photography and cooking, which are usually influenced by each new place that I visit.

Duke Children's Health Center Hematology/Oncology Clinic
I’m a pediatric hematologist and oncologist that treats children with cancer and non-malignant blood problems. Additionally, I work in the neurofibromatosis clinic where I collaborate with other outstanding care providers throughout Duke to care for patients with neurofibromatosis and related disorders. I strive to utilize the resources of the Duke system to improve the health of my patients. Working with kids is very inspiring. I love the way that they handle adversity with such courage. Their energy and hope really carries me through the day. When I meet a child and their family for the first time, I try to identify the key problems that are affecting their life and preventing them from doing things that are important to them. My goal is to make their life as normal as possible. Outside of work, I enjoy coaching youth soccer, playing ultimate frisbee, and spending time with my wife and our three kids.
