Overview
A good medical team can guide a patient and their family through a life-threatening crisis filled with uncertainty. I learned about teamwork while serving seven years in the United States Air Force, deploying to both Iraq and Afghanistan. I led a Critical Care Air Transport Team aeromedically evacuating critically ill or injured patients. We have assembled an exceptional team in our local Danville community to provide outstanding cardiovascular care. I see patients with a wide spectrum of cardiac problems including coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure and other conditions. Teamwork is at the core of what we do in Danville with close collaboration with our partners in Durham. In a small town, you are taking care of your neighbors, their family members and your friends. Our goal is not just to have a patient live, but to get back to living. My wife and I enjoy watching our three children grow up in the community of Danville.

Duke Cardiology Clinic - Clinic 2F/2G
I am excited about electrophysiology because it gives me the opportunity to improve patients' quality of life and allows patients to live longer in many cases. I ultimately went to medical school because of a passion for helping people, lifelong learning, and establishing meaningful relationships with my patients. I strongly believe in patient engagement and patient-centered decision making. Therefore, I believe that it is important to spend time educating patients and discussing all available treatment options. I encourage patients and their family members to ask questions so that I can help them understand their health. I offer medical therapy and catheter ablation therapy to patients with atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), and ventricular tachycardia. I also place transvenous pacemakers and defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices, leadless pacemakers, and subcutaneous defibrillators. I also perform lead extractions. I have two children, and I enjoy cooking, as well as playing golf, tennis, and skiing.

Duke Cardiology Arringdon
I diagnose and treat cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, supraventricular tachycardias (SVT), atrial flutter, and ventricular arrhythmias. I perform catheter ablation procedures, including minimally invasive catheter surgery, for these conditions. I also implant and manage devices, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) pacemakers or defibrillators. I also evaluate patients for possible genetic causes for sudden cardiac arrest or arrhythmias. Collaborating with a genetic counselor specializing in cardiac disorders, I perform genetic testing for these conditions. In addition, I evaluate athletes with cardiac conditions, focusing on arrhythmias and abnormal electrocardiograms. Dr. Daubert is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT).
