I am a gastroenterologist and the medical director of the gastrointestinal (GI) program at Duke Raleigh Hospital. I enjoy being at Duke, because our team is one of the most experienced in the Southeastern United States. Most of the patients I see have diseases of the biliary or pancreatic systems including blockages. Some of these can be malignant. When I first meet a patient, I like to know their expectations for treatment. I also like to meet the patient’s loved ones and answer any questions they may have at the very first visit. After we talk, I review the patient’s x-rays and records. The next step is to discuss the results with my colleagues as a team, so we can come up with a unique treatment plan that is personalized for each patient. The most rewarding part of my job is the interaction with patients. If I can provide immediate help, I’m even happier. Dr. Obando is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in Pancreatectomy.

I chose to become a surgical oncologist because of the unique opportunity for complex surgical care and longer-term follow-up. The interpersonal relationships with patients serve to motivate me as a physician. Recognizing how difficult it must be as a patient diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening illness, I strive to minimize the stress on patients and families. I do this by educating them about their diagnosis and potential treatments, enabling them to make key decisions in their care and closely caring for them for the duration of their recovery from surgery. I am humbled by the faith and confidence that patients place in their surgeons, and I strive to always exceed their expectations. Following 20 years of service on active duty in the Army, I am eager to join the team at Duke University Medical Center and provide the best possible care to our patients.
