Overview
I treat children and adolescents who have gained weight too quickly and have health problems associated with weight. My research focuses on helping children live their healthiest life possible through nutrition, activity, and engagement in community activities. I have expertise in childhood nutrition issues including obesity in children and teenagers. It is such a privilege to be a part of families' lives. I have a special interest in patient-centered communication and am passionate to see physicians, patients, and parents communicate with each other to meet their mutual goals. I believe a shared decision making approach benefits patients and their families the most. Duke stands out in a lot of ways, especially the integrated system of care so that children can get various care all in one place. Outside of work, I enjoy playing soccer and coaching my children in soccer as well.
