Overview

I am an infectious disease provider and see a wide variety of infectious diseases, including everything from HIV to Hepatitis C to bone and joint infections and everything in between. I want patients to feel comfortable to express their problems in their own words without receiving any judgment from me. I need as much information as I can to do my job correctly, so to me, accessibility is the center of the therapeutic dynamic between my patient and myself. Our division here at Duke runs the gamut of world experts in skin infections to complicated fungal infections to transplant infectious diseases. The thing that inspires me the most about working here is our commitment from all providers, regardless of their research involvement or academic activities, to patient care, and patient care first. I’m proud to be part of that tradition.

Dr. Lance is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of SAPHO Syndrome. His top areas of expertise are Myelitis, HIV/AIDS, AIDS Dementia Complex, and AIDS Dysmorphic Syndrome.
