Overview
I am a general nephrologist and am happy to see patients with chronic kidney disease, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, proteinuria, and resistant hypertension. I pride myself on returning telephone calls from my patients promptly and on sending letters to my patients following their clinic visits. What I like most about my practice is that I am able to take care of my patients for many years.

I am a nephrologist at Duke University with over 20 years of experience as a clinician, clinical researcher, and mentor.

In clinical research, I am experienced in serving on steering committees for multicenter clinical trials in CKD, including work with National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded trials -- the African American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK), the AASK Cohort Study, the Dialysis Access Consortium, and the Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) treatment trial. I recently joined the steering committee for the NIDDK consortium, pilot studies of candidate therapies for CKD. I am active in multiple industry-sponsored clinical trials.
