I am the chief of pediatric heart surgery at Duke Health. Being a heart surgeon was always a dream of mine as a child. Spending a summer in medical school with legendary pediatric heart surgeon, Aldo Castaneda, cemented my desire to devote my life to this profession. Clinically, I love the creativity, complexity and challenge associated with my work. I am also able to satisfy my investigational curiosities through an active basic and clinical research laboratory focusing on congenital heart disease. I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to fulfill this dream back at Duke, a place that was so influential in my surgical training. Outside the hospital, I most enjoy spending time with my wife of 20+ years and three young children. We are an active family, always on the go… which mirrors my life at work. Dr. Turek is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Tetralogy of Fallot.

I am a cardiac surgeon caring for adult patients with a broad spectrum of cardiovascular disease, with a particular interest in aortic disease, such as aneurysm or dissection. I also perform many general cardiac surgery operations, such as bypass surgery for blockages in the coronary arteries and valve repair or replacement for narrowed or leaky valves. Every year, we continue to expand our transcatheter treatments for valve diseases and endovascular treatments for aortic diseases. Both of these approaches involve small incisions in the leg, addressing the problem with wires and catheters, rather than traditional open surgery. I chose to train and work as heart surgeon because it allows me to care for patients with life threatening conditions and debilitating symptoms, such as shortness of breath. Our goal at Duke Health is to extend lives and restore quality of life, enabling patients to return to their passions at home. I hope that heart surgery is something most patients only go through once in a lifetime. I strive to create an atmosphere where patients and their loved ones feel they are educated and involved leading up to surgery and during their recovery process.

I am a cardiologist who has been at Duke for over 15 years. I grew up in North Carolina and am proud to call Durham home. My father was a physician and my mother was a nurse, so I always thought about going into medicine. Cardiology came most naturally to me during medical school. The best part of being a doctor is the feeling you get from having genuinely helped someone in a meaningful way. I enjoy practicing at Duke, because I get to work with a lot of smart people who are dedicated to helping patients.

I’m a pediatric cardiologist with a focus on interventional cardiology. We try to find less invasive ways to treat congenital heart disease. We’ve made tremendous advances in the last decade in treating diseases that used to require open heart surgery. We can now treat these with a much less invasive approach. In addition to seeing patients in the clinic, I do procedures in the cath lab like closing atrial septal defects and certain valve replacements. At Duke we collaborate and work well together using a team approach to help our patients. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my two children and getting outdoors. I like to mountain bike, hike and play soccer. Dr. Fleming is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Tetralogy of Fallot.

Having children of my own, I realize what an anxiety-provoking experience it is for families when they need medical care. The most important thing my team and I offer is that we are all specialized in pediatrics and our practice is focused on pediatric cardiology.

I am a pediatric heart surgeon specializing in the repair of congenital heart defects in newborns, infants, and children. I am extremely proud of the exceptional work we do here at Duke Children’s Hosptial. We have an incredibly talented team of providers who are deeply committed to delivering outstanding patient care. It’s a privilege and an honor to get to do what I absolutely love to do. Among the many positive aspects, I especially enjoy the initial meeting with the family of a child who may need heart surgery. For many expectant mothers, these heart defects are first identified on ultrasound during pregnancy. For defects that typically need early surgery, we offer a prenatal surgical consultation. In this conversation, I have the opportunity to carefully describe in plain language the nature of the heart defect, the treatment options and role of surgery, and the expectations for recovery and the long-term outlook. This important moment gives me a chance to meet the mother, establish a relationship, and begin our shared journey through the prospect of heart surgery for her child. Together with the expertise of my colleagues, we continually strive to provide the safest possible heart care for the children of our region and beyond.
