I see patients with all gynecological concerns.

I take care of women from adolescence through their adult lives. I went into OB-GYN because I had an interest in women’s health, and I felt like the specialty gave me the opportunity to have a longitudinal relationship with women. You get to serve in many different roles, from routine maintenance to specific problems to major milestones. As a general OB-GYN, I take care of things from contraception counseling to abnormal bleeding, abnormal Pap smears, prenatal care, pregnancy loss, etc. I take care of women during major points of their lives, whether it’s pregnancy, menopause, miscarriage, etc. I really like to get to know the patient as a person and hope to build a relationship for many years. Trust is very important. What I love most about OB-GYN are the deliveries. The fact that I’m able to participate in those special moments with families means a lot to me and brings me a lot of joy.

I am passionate about offering patients with gynecologic cancer the most cutting-edge surgery and medical therapies. My research and clinical endeavors have focused on the development of novel surgical interventions, robotic surgery and the incorporation of technology to improve cancer outcomes, minimize the recovery from surgery, and decrease complications and side effects. I treat patients with all forms of gynecologic cancers and also offer surgery for complex benign gynecologic conditions. I derive great pleasure from establishing long-term relationships with patients throughout their cancer journey.

My practice and research focuses on patients who have female-specific cancers, such as ovarian, endometrial, cervical, vulvar or vaginal cancer. I offer my patients access to variety of treatments, ranging from surgery to chemotherapy and radiation. My dad was a physician, and my mom was a nurse, so I was exposed to health care at an early age. I enjoy my work on female cancers, because it is one of the few subspecialties to blend surgery and chemotherapy. It also gives me the chance to develop strong relationships with my patients, since I get to take care of my patients before and during their surgery, as well as continue to see them for the rest of their lifetime. I’ve found those patients, who have been able to face their diagnosis with unwavering optimism, to be incredibly inspiring. I have three children, so outside of work I spend as much time as I can with my family.

I consider it a great privilege to care for women through the practice of obstetrics and gynecology. I have loved women’s health since my OBGYN rotation during medical school. This specialty enables me to care for women from adolescence through the menopause transition and beyond. My practice includes a wide scope of clinical activities. I perform obstetric care, gynecologic surgery including minimally invasive procedures and office care including well women visits and management of gynecologic problems. I thoroughly enjoy working in academic medicine. The academic environment enables me to remain up to date with the latest medical advances so that I can provide the best evidence-based care. My academic interests include medical education and caring for women with a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family.

I enjoy getting to know patients when they first come in, maybe for contraception, then when they’re thinking about starting a family, and then seeing them through their pregnancy and hopefully being able to deliver their baby. For any patient coming in for an obstetrics or gynecology visit, the first time they have that exam can be very intimidating. My goal is to make people as comfortable as possible, especially for those seeing me for the first time -- making them feel comfortable about asking questions. There’s no such thing as a dumb question. The dumb question is the one you don’t ask. At our practice, we all communicate with each other about being consistent in the way that we provide care. We’re all on the same page of our goal of doing the right thing and best thing for the patient.

I have been providing obstetrical and gynecologic care in the Triangle for more than 20 years.

I also specialize in treating people whose menopausal symptoms are affecting their quality of life. I am married and have twin boys who keep me on my toes.

I am an obstetrician and gynecologist. I mostly see patients along with OB-GYN residents, in my role as an educator. We see patients in the benign gynecology clinic in Duke Clinic and we also see patients offsite, mostly in area health departments. A lot of times we take care of women who don’t have a lot of resources or who have already exhausted resources and they are coming to Duke because we are their only option. As an OB-GYN doctor, you’re catching a woman sometimes at the happiest times of her life and sometimes at the saddest times of her life. I think it’s very important to have an environment where she doesn’t feel judged, and where she feels comfortable sharing any information that you can use to help her feel better and to empower her to seek the care that she needs and do what she can do to contribute to the betterment of her health. Dr. Muasher is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Vaginal Bleeding Between Periods.

I never thought I wanted to be a doctor until I worked at Planned Parenthood after college. As a medical assistant working with patients, I realized my passion for women’s health. I later went to UNC for medical school and decided to pursue obstetrics and gynecology due to the importance of women’s health care. During residency at UC San Diego, I was fortunate to rotate at the local VA hospital and loved serving our veterans and their families. I knew that I wanted to work at a VA when I completed training. After my fellowship in family planning at Emory University, I couldn’t be happier with my current job! I split my time between Duke, mainly focusing on contraception and pregnancy loss care, and the Durham VA, where I can provide gynecology care to our much deserving, women veterans. Dr. Thomason is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Vaginal Bleeding Between Periods. Her top areas of expertise are Vaginal Bleeding Between Periods, Menopause, and Intrauterine Device Insertion.

I decided at a very young age that I wanted to become an obstetrician. I was 7 when I watched my own mother go through pregnancy and became fascinated with pregnancy and birth. I started telling everyone “I’m going to deliver babies when I grow up.” As I went through medical school, my draw to the specialty confirmed what I'd felt from a very young age. One of the many reasons I love working at Duke is we are always well-equipped to deal with any emergencies which can arise unexpectedly. While most deliveries do not require any interventions, I am happy we can offer anything needed on a moment’s notice. In addition to taking care of pregnant patients, I enjoy taking care of adolescent women who are transitioning into adulthood. I also enjoy caring for perimenopausal patients and menopausal patients. I am happy to offer in office procedures, such as essure tubal ligation, which is a great option for women whom have completed childbearing. In addition, I enjoy surgical procedures in the operating room when surgery is required to treat an issue that cannot be managed with medication.

I came “north” to Durham in 1998 to attend Duke Medical School. Little did I know at the time that Duke would become home to me. I currently have an active internal medicine practice seeing adult patients in the primary care setting. I also have the opportunity to work with new doctors in training on a daily basis, providing education to them in the primary care setting. I love taking care of patients in the outpatient setting, managing chronic diseases, and getting to know my patients – their health and their lives. I believe that the physician–patient relationship is a unique one and it is a privilege to be a part of patients’ lives. Outside of the hospital, I enjoy spending time with my family and taking advantage of the benefits of living in the Triangle.

I was drawn to the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology because I saw from an early age how empowering a positive physician-patient relationship was for women of all ages. The impact of an open and trusting physician-patient relationship is immeasurable. I strive to provide my patients the care and experience that they deserve by first just listening. Listening to a patient's concerns, thoughts, and fears allows me to tailor my care to the individual and her specific needs. Whether I am providing obstetrical care, preventative and problem based gynecologic care, solutions for chronic and acute pelvic pain, or having discussions regarding advanced surgical interventions, the most important element is putting my patient's needs first. I am fortunate that I can form life-long relationships with patients from adolesence through menopause, and help them navigate their journey by being supportive and keeping them in good health. Being an Obstetrician/Gynecologist is extremely rewarding for all these reasons, but there is nothing more gratifying than helping a patient achieve her goals by preserving her health and well-being.
