Overview

I am a rheumatologist who sees women who are pregnant, or wish to be pregnant, and have a rheumatic disease. I developed a passion very early in my training for helping women with rheumatic disease build the families that they want. I continue to be inspired each day by my patients and to look for better ways to improve the health of both mother and baby. I also see patients in the Duke Lupus Clinic where we address the challenges of living with lupus. The clinicians work as a team, sharing the care of the patients. We often have trainees working with us to teach future doctors who to manage lupus. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children and running a Girl Scout troop.

Dr. Clowse is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Temporal Arteritis. Her top areas of expertise are Lupus Nephritis, Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease (UCTD), Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (CLE), and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
