Dr. David T. Tanaka

I am a neonatologist. I take care of critically ill newborn infants, which includes premature infants who have to stay in the hospital because of their size, and sick full-term babies who may need surgery or otherwise need an intensive care unit. I try to gauge what parents’ needs are and give them the most and best information on what’s happening with their baby. The NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) here at Duke does a really good job of incorporating the family in their baby’s care. Parents are invited to join on rounds when we talk about their baby and the next steps of their medical care and are able to be with their baby at all hours of the day. We are always trying to ensure we are incorporating the best into our practice, so we do research and compare ourselves to other nurseries, and I think our outcomes show it.
