Overview
I treat patients with solid organ cancers, such as breast, lung, colon, bladder, kidney, and melanoma cancers. I also treat patients with blood disorders that can be benign (anemias, immune thrombocytopenia, etc.) or malignant (acute and chronic leukemias, myelodysplastic syndromes, myeloproliferative neoplasia, multiple myeloma, etc.). I decided to be an oncologist when I learned from my mentor the ways that providers can improve the quality of life of patients with cancer.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
Duke Hematology Clinic - Clinic 1E
I primarily see patients who have a variety of rare bleeding and clotting disorders. I see both older and younger patients and also provide help when patients need to transition to and away from blood thinners. Doctors usually refer patients to me. I try to work with each patient so they understand why they are seeing me and what is going on with their body. I enjoy when a patient can leave my office with a complete understanding of what is going on and what they need to do to get better. As a young child, I had bad allergies and spent much time in the doctor’s office. As a frequent patient, I enjoyed spending time around medicine. As I entered college, I found that I enjoyed chemistry and that hematology allowed me to combine lab work with patient care.
