Overview
I am a pulmonologist and critical care specialist with particular interests in breathing disorders, lung nodules, and lung cancer screening. My focus lies on patients with complex problems who require meticulous review of tests, X-rays, and past treatments. I collaborate closely with my patients to ensure they comprehend the impact of their lung condition and to devise personalized testing plans or treatments. Personally, I am passionate about strenuous hobbies and sports, which fuels my desire to understand how breathing difficulties influence my patients' lives and activities.

Duke Pulmonary Clinic - Clinic 2F/2G
I specialize in interstitial lung diseases, such as pulmonary fibrosis or conditions that cause lung scarring. I am passionate about providing the best possible care for my patients and stay up-to-date on the most recent advances in the field. The terminology around the diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases, such as pulmonary fibrosis, can be confusing. I believe it is important to take the time to explain each step to my patients. I also believe the best approach to any condition involves working together with my patient and their family to develop an individualized treatment plan. When not seeing patients, I conduct research with the goal of improving outcomes for patients with interstitial lung disease. I enjoy spending my free time with my family and staying active outdoors.
