Nursing is the only thing I have seriously thought of doing. It is a privilege to work with patients and families at a vulnerable time in their life.

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. Dr. Friedman is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. His top areas of expertise are Astrocytoma, Glioma, Glioblastoma, Awake Craniotomy, and Laminectomy.

I was inspired to be a doctor by my grandfather, a classic “black bag” physician, who practiced family medicine with grace, compassion, and enthusiasm I strive to emulate. I became interested in the treatment of neurologic illness in college, and I pursued a specialization in the minimally invasive treatment of brain tumors and skull base tumors. When a patient has a brain disorder, they bring to me not just an organ to be fixed, but also their senses, perceptions, and mechanisms that allow them to interact with their world. My goal is to help my patients understand these frightening and disorienting problems and to create with them a custom treatment strategy to overcome the difficulties. I use the latest advances in minimally invasive neurosurgery to hopefully return them to the activities they most enjoy. Through my research, I hope to devise even better ways to approach these problems in the future. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my amazing daughter and son, as well as my two miniature schnauzers.

As a general internist, I provide comprehensive and coordinated patient-centered care to adults. That care includes health maintenance, and the evaluation and treatment of complex illness. My past training and extensive experience in multiple office settings, including primary care and consultative care within several academic practices, provides me a strong balance and framework that allows for improved understanding of my patient’s concerns and ability to work through multiple issues. My various administrative and leadership roles within Duke provide additional insight and opportunity for me to improve the practice of medicine and patient care. I balance my work through my family and international medical volunteerism. Dr. Paat is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. His top areas of expertise are Acute Eosinophilic Pneumonia, Hypereosinophilic Syndrome, Glucocorticoid-Remediable Aldosteronism, and Familial Hypertension.

My fascination with medicine took root during my later years after engaging in volunteer work with traumatic brain injury patients in Toronto. Hearing their incredible stories, I came to recognize the profound privilege held by doctors who catch glimpses of the most sensitive moments in their patients' lives. It became clear to me that as a physician, I could truly make a significant impact. As a resident, my attention was captured by the challenge of hydrocephalus and abnormalities of cerebrospinal fluid flow, areas in which our understanding remains poor and treatment options are limited. Moreover, treatment typically involves the placement of a shunt to redirect fluid away from the brain, a procedure which has a high rate of complications. As a neurosurgeon and scientist, my goal is to discover alternate approaches for diagnosing and treating patients with cerebrospinal fluid disorders, so that they can maintain a high quality of life. Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy spending time with my husband, exploring the North Carolina mountains through invigorating hikes, reading a book by the lake, or tinkering with my car. Dr. Bramall is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. Her top areas of expertise are Hydrocephalus, Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, Congenital Cardiovascular Shunt, and Cerebellum Agenesis Hydrocephaly.

I see patients with a broad range of movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease, tremors, ataxia, dystonia, tics, and Huntington's disease. I employ deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy for selected patients with Parkinson's disease, tremor, or dystonia, and use botulinum toxin injections for certain patients with dystonia, tremors, or tics. I work with an interdisciplinary team of physicians, therapists, and other health care providers, with the overall goal of helping to improve the lives of patients with complex neurological diseases. Dr. Cooney is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. His top areas of expertise are Parkinson's Disease, Movement Disorders, Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome, Essential Tremor, and Deep Brain Stimulation.

I specialize in skull base tumors, certain vascular tumors that affect the brain, brain aneurysms, and strokes. Skull base tumors usually occur in a hard-to-reach area where there are a lot of sensitive structures. I have devoted many hours to perfecting my technical skills and my surgical approaches. Skull base tumors tend not to be malignant, so if you can remove the tumor cleanly, you can cure the patient. It's thrilling to be able to reassure the patient and family that they don't have to worry about this disease anymore. Having these conditions can be a scary time in patients’ lives, and I have committed myself to helping them through the process. It's also important to be able to perform surgery in a setting where the patient has the best likelihood of a good outcome. That's what makes Duke stand out: We do rare things frequently and, as a result, we're quite good at them. Dr. Zomorodi is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. His top areas of expertise are Brain Aneurysm, Acoustic Neuroma, Schwannoma, Endovascular Embolization, and Cerebral Artery Bypass Surgery.

My research and clinical focus is cerebrovascular disease, specifically the treatment of brain aneurysms, brain arteriovenous malformations, carotid disease, Moya-moya and stroke. I also treat patients with brain tumors and spine issues. In general, I like to analyze complex problems and propose simple solutions. In neurosurgery, typically, the simplest solution is the safest. Your safety and best possible treatment is my number one priority. More often than not, you may be surprised to learn that after thorough analysis of all the information, you may not need treatment, but instead careful observation. If treatment is indicated, I provide a comprehensive spectrum of care including radiosurgery, minimally invasive treatment in the cathlab, and open surgery. At Duke, I love to be able to offer these services as a member of a friendly and fabulous team. In addition, I am proud to be able to provide the newest clinical treatment options available. My ultimate goal is to further improve patient experience and outcomes. My hobbies are playing the piano, hiking, skiing and gardening, which I enjoy together with my wife and four children.
