Dr. Dillon Cockrell
Overview
I am a medical oncologist specializing in genitourinary cancers, including prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancer. I primarily see patients at Duke Cancer Centers in Cary and Raleigh, where I focus on providing comprehensive, patient-centered care. Growing up in eastern North Carolina and having lived most of my adult life in the Triangle area, I am deeply connected to the North Carolina community. My approach centers on treating each patient with a focus on their needs and a positive outlook, emphasizing both effective treatment and maintaining a high quality of life. I prioritize having access to the most updated treatment options, enrolling patients in clinical trials, and ensuring they have a strong understanding of their diagnosis and management options. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and attending sporting events with my wife and our two little boys.

Duke Hematology Clinic - Clinic 1E
I primarily see patients who have a variety of rare bleeding and clotting disorders. I see both older and younger patients and also provide help when patients need to transition to and away from blood thinners. Doctors usually refer patients to me. I try to work with each patient so they understand why they are seeing me and what is going on with their body. I enjoy when a patient can leave my office with a complete understanding of what is going on and what they need to do to get better. As a young child, I had bad allergies and spent much time in the doctor’s office. As a frequent patient, I enjoyed spending time around medicine. As I entered college, I found that I enjoyed chemistry and that hematology allowed me to combine lab work with patient care.
