Overview
I have over twenty years of experience as a hematologist-oncologist focusing in hematologic malignancies, leukemias, lymphomas, myeloma, and myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative syndromes. My patient care philosophy stresses interactive discussions with patients and their families on what to expect from the illness and treatment options, making sure that all their concerns and questions are addressed. Caring for patients with cancer is complex and my care team is dedicated to helping patients with the family, social, emotional, and financial issues, in addition to compassionate medical care.

Duke Health Integrated Practice Inc
I am a medical oncologist who primarily focuses on treating breast cancer. I’ve been at Duke Raleigh since 2007, and I also serve as the hospital’s chief medical officer. My favorite part of my job is the initial patient visit. It’s not unusual for patients to arrive for their appointment feeling fearful and anxious. I enjoy making them feel more comfortable and at ease with their diagnosis and treatment plan by the end of the visit. To further build that bond and trust, I encourage my patients to have full access to me, even on weekends or holidays, so I can help guide their treatment. I decided to become a doctor when I was 18 years old and heading to college. I felt that I would be passionate about taking care of people and my intuition turned out to be right. I am married to a physician and my oldest son is a medical school graduate, so medicine is now firmly in my family’s blood.
