Overview
I specialized in rheumatology due to an interest in treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that affect the entire body, figuring out complex medical findings and laboratory results, and the ability to maintain life-long relationships with my patients. I treat patients with all types of rheumatologic diseases and have a special interest in lupus. Health literacy and patient education are important to ensure patients can manage their disease successfully, and I enjoy helping patients understand their diagnosis and treatments. Through shared decision-making and an individualized approach, I work with patients to help them achieve their treatment goals.

Duke Lupus Clinic - Clinic 1J
As a rheumatologic, I care for people living with a range of autoimmune conditions. As Director of the Duke Lupus Clinic and Duke Lupus Registry, I specialize in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus related conditions. I was drawn to the field of rheumatology because of the complex, multi-system nature of autoimmune diseases and the many exciting advances in immune therapies. Rheumatology is a field where the most important part of my visit is listening and understanding my patients' journey. I work alongside an exceptional group of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, students, researchers, and staff. Together, our goal is to provide compassionate, comprehensive and state-of-the-art care for people living with lupus. Outside of clinic, I enjoy biking, running, and spending time with my family.
