In pediatric gastroenterology, we see children of all ages with disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. This can include disorders of the esophagus (food tube), stomach, pancreas, liver, gall bladder, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. I have a particular interest in caring for children with disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), such as irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia. DGBI in children may be associated with chronic abdominal pain and meal-related symptoms. I also have a particular interest in caring for children with motility disorders. These include disorders such as esophageal achalasia, gastroparesis, intestinal pseudo-obstruction, and severe constipation. Pediatric gastroenterologists at Duke collaborate with several specialty colleagues in areas such as pediatric surgery, physical therapy, psychology, otolaryngology, and pulmonology to provide cutting-edge clinical care. We also educate pediatric gastroenterology trainees and lead academic innovation through quality initiatives and research to improve pediatric digestive health.

My mother was a dedicated nurse, and I learned early on what a privilege it is to be involved in the care of others. As a physician, I strive to take care of my patients as if they were a close family member. I have spent most of my career teaching other physicians how to practice gastroenterology, and I always impart to them the importance of being thorough and thoughtful in their evaluations. I see adult patients with a variety of gastroenterology conditions, such as heartburn, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. I have a special interest in performing colon cancer screening and performing diagnostic and therapeutic upper and lower endoscopy. Outside of my work, I love to spend time with my family and play board games, bike, and engage in the occasional indoor snowball fight.
