I am currently the chief of the division of Epilepsy, Sleep, and Clinical Neurophysiology. I see epilepsy patients and patients with sleep disorders. The epilepsy patients that I see often have a hard time controlling their seizures or have other epilepsy-related problems. At Duke, we have many options, including clinical trials, advanced medications, and surgical options, that we can offer patients to get them to a better quality of life with fewer or no seizures. In sleep disorders, I see many patients with sleep apnea and have a passion for treating individuals with narcolepsy. My philosophy is that I want patients to be aware of all the different treatment options that they have available this them. Together, we come up with what I, the patient, and the family think is the best approach for the individual. This way, we can individualize the treatment for each person. It is very gratifying for me to see patients doing so much better with the appropriate medications and pursuing the dreams they have and doing the things they really want to do.

When it comes to patient care, I feel it is vital to stop and listen to the patient and truly engage with them. I strive to show the patient I care about them as a whole person, not just the problem they present with to the office. Often, the issues that are presented do not have a cure, but lending a listening ear can help the patient feel valued, cared for, and comforted. I have been working in the neurology field prior to coming to Duke. I have experience with general neurology as well as sleep and epilepsy. I am excited to help grow the Comprehensive Center for Epilepsy here at Duke with a specific interest in women with epilepsy.

When people think about sleep disorders, they usually report getting too much or not enough sleep. That is the starting point where we work together to get to the root cause. What I have discovered in treating patients is that sleep medicine is multifactorial - you address attitudes around sleep, mental health, wellness, as well as consider other medical problems. Sleep apnea is one of the better-known sleep disorders, and the good news is that we have better technology today to treat it. It is very gratifying when patients come back and tell me how much their quality of life has improved! When I talk to patients, other less recognized sleep disorders can also be discovered and treated, such as restless leg syndrome, abnormal sleep behaviors, and narcolepsy. It is not uncommon for more than one sleep disorder to be present. When I see a patient, my aim is to to get a complete picture about their sleep so success in treatment is achieved.

I am a pulmonologist, intensivist, and sleep medicine specialist, with a particular interest in disorders that impact breathing during sleep, such as sleep apnea and hypoventilation. I also evaluate patients with various pulmonary and sleep conditions. My approach consists of listening carefully to patients and understanding what matters to them. We then come up with an individualized treatment plan together after reviewing all the options. Sleep apnea and other related breathing disorders differ with each individual and so does the response to treatment. I believe in working with patients to help make certain therapies, such as PAP devices, more tolerable and effective, while also considering other options. My goal is to help patients achieve good sleep so they can lead a healthier life. It is very gratifying to me when patients who start treatment report experiencing good sleep for the first time in a while. During my free time, I enjoy watching and practicing sports, traveling, and spending time with my family.

I am passionate about sleep and helping patients achieve good sleep so they can be healthier and feel better during the day. I have particular interests in treating patients with obstructive and central sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy, and idiopathic hypersomnia. For patients with sleep apnea who haven't done well with treatment in the past, I can often help make positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy more tolerable and effective. My approach to patients is to spend time gathering information from patients and their families. Families can provide very helpful information about patients' sleep that patients might not be aware of themselves. I then work with patients to develop a treatment that is mutually agreeable, as I think it's important for patients to understand and agree with their treatment plans. Whenever possible, I avoid using medications as most sleep problems can be improved without them.
