Dr. Cory J. Joseph-Vatsaas

I am from Rockford, IL and I'm a general surgeon. I always thought I would be a cancer doctor but never a surgeon. It turns out I enjoyed operating. I enjoy the immediate gratification of surgical treatment whether it's removing an appendix, or fixing an incarcerated hernia. I love Durham, NC as does my wife and two children. We look forward to staying here for a very long time and being a part of this community. Dr. Fong is highly rated in 10 conditions, according to our data.

I specialize in interstitial lung diseases, such as pulmonary fibrosis or conditions that cause lung scarring. I am passionate about providing the best possible care for my patients and stay up-to-date on the most recent advances in the field. The terminology around the diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases, such as pulmonary fibrosis, can be confusing. I believe it is important to take the time to explain each step to my patients. I also believe the best approach to any condition involves working together with my patient and their family to develop an individualized treatment plan. When not seeing patients, I conduct research with the goal of improving outcomes for patients with interstitial lung disease. I enjoy spending my free time with my family and staying active outdoors.
