Overview
I enjoy treating many types of skin disorders and getting to know my patients and their families. I especially like to treat skin cancer and rashes, like eczema and psoriasis. At Duke Health, I see patients through telehealth. I also see patients through the Durham VA Medical Center where I care for veterans with skin cancer and other skin disorders. In my free time, I enjoy running, hiking, and watching my 3 children play sports.
