    I find the women who seek treatment in our urogynecology specialty to be an inspirational set of people. Our ladies, who span a wide age range, are generally active and want to stay this way -- without a pelvic floor disorder weighing them down. The services and treatment options that we provide are innovative and I strive to tailor my recommendations to fit the woman in front of me -- her lifestyle, her activity level and her concerns. I am originally from Miami and moved north for the sole purpose of joining this wonderful urogynecology practice. The physicians, nursing staff, and administrative staff that I have the fortune of working with are a dynamic group who shares the common goal of providing professional and patient-focused care. I am energetic and love the performing arts, so I try to spend any free time dancing and enjoying the theater. Dr. Kawasaki is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Opisthotonos. Her top areas of expertise are Urinary Incontinence, Opisthotonos, Muscle Spasms, Stress Urinary Incontinence, and Sacral Nerve Stimulation.

    I became interested in pelvic floor disorders because of the emphasis on improving the quality of life. For most pelvic floor disorders – bladder, bowel, sexual dysfunction, or vaginal bulge – there are usually multiple treatment options with different pros and cons. Because each woman is different, I tend to teach each patient about her own pelvic floor issues, and then we collaborate to develop a treatment plan that incorporates her specific goals. I am actively involved in research because I think that is the way that we will develop better treatment options for women. In my spare time, I love to cook, entertain friends, and travel with my husband and children. Dr. Siddiqui is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Opisthotonos. Her top areas of expertise are Urinary Incontinence, Uterine Prolapse, Stress Urinary Incontinence, Hysterectomy, and Oophorectomy.

    I’ve practiced interventional pain and musculoskeletal medicine for the past 20 years, and re-joined Duke in 2010 to build a program that sheds new light onto the treatments for nerve and arthritis pain. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with many talented clinicians and researchers in the United States and Europe, allowing us to build a program in the Center for Translational Pain Medicine that moves beyond traditional pain medications and avoids many of their risks and complications. Our treatments center around the application of regenerative therapies that promote the active resolution of inflammation and pain for several arthritic conditions. I find it extremely rewarding to watch patients progress during their treatment course and meet their goals. I’m currently the Division Chief for Pain Medicine, a member of Duke’s Center for Translational Pain Medicine, Director of Regenerative Pain Therapies, and serve on the Editorial Board of Pain Medicine.

    I spent five years doing plastic surgery for burn victims, during which time I saw many patients who had very limited function and suffered chronic pain. Physical medicine and rehabilitation attracted me because it focuses on the patient’s functional improvement and quality of life. I specialize in delivering individualized, integrated, and expedited care that helps my patients reach their functional goals. I perform image-guided interventional spine procedures, medical management and acupuncture. While my focus is on providing nonsurgical treatments, I am both fortunate and honored to closely partner with the exceptional spine surgeons at the Duke Spine Center.

    I believe the path to better health starts with clear communication and a commitment from both the patient and the doctor. I live my life as my father, who was also a physician, taught me. I encourage myself and my patients to realize that today is an opportunity that may not present itself tomorrow and enjoy what you have, as there are many blessings even if you don’t see them. I enjoy spending time in nature and believe it has healing powers – nature is the best “reset button” in life.

    I approach my practice as a partnership between me and my patients -- providing them with knowledge to improve and sustain their overall health for acute care, chronic illness and preventative health. I learn as much from them as they do from me. It is an honor and a privilege to take care of patients and their families, and to know they entrust their lives to you. I can't see myself doing anything else. I moved to North Carolina in 1992 from New Jersey, and joined Durham Medical Center in 1995. How fortunate and blessed I am to work with a wonderful group of providers. It was in my seventh grade science class when I realized how much I enjoyed science and all that it entailed. I have always been a people person and like to say I never meet a stranger. So working in medicine has been more than fulfilling. Working at Duke has been remarkable with access to a host of specialist and services for the patients I serve. I am truly humbled to be part of an organization where patients come first!.

    What is the definition of Opisthotonos?

    Opisthotonos is a condition in which a person holds their body in an abnormal position. The person is usually rigid and arches their back, with their head thrown backward. If a person with opisthotonos lies on their back, only the back of their head and heels touch the surface they are on.

    When should I see an Opisthotonos doctor near Durham, NC?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing an Opisthotonos doctor near Durham, NC?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Opisthotonos doctors near Durham, NC?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Opisthotonos doctors near Durham, NC?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with an Opisthotonos doctor near Durham, NC?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Opisthotonos doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Opisthotonos doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with an Opisthotonos doctor near Durham, NC?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Opisthotonos doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Opisthotonos doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Opisthotonos doctors near Durham, NC?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Opisthotonos doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find an Opisthotonos doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Opisthotonos doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
