Dr. Deepika Kulkarni
Overview
Working with lung transplant patients as part of the Duke Lung Transplant Program is an incredible privilege. In the lung transplant clinic, we work as part of a multi-disciplinary care team to help patients with end-stage lung disease to discuss lung transplantation. It is incredibly rewarding to see patients prior to lung transplantation on oxygen, in the immediate post-transplant period, and then during follow-up visits to see how their lives have changed. I enjoy the mix of work in the clinic, the general medical ward, the intensive care unit, and the procedure suite. Outside of the hospital, I enjoy exercising, hiking, music of all kinds, and spending time with friends and family.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
Duke Pulmonary Clinic - Clinic 2F/2G
It has been my privilege to care for lung transplant patients for over 20 years. I have found that helping patients and their loved ones along their transplant journey to be very rewarding. My job as the Medical Director of the Duke Lung Transplant Program is to help equip our team to work collectively to achieve the best outcome for our patients. Our mission is to serve patients and the transplant community with a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary team approach to create a pathway to transplant, particularly for those facing barriers from medical co-morbidities. This requires a commitment to communicate and collaborate across all disciplines in both the outpatient and inpatient settings. We want to make the patient experience the best it can possibly be. We also recognize that in order to improve outcomes in lung transplants, there must be significant advances in the prevention and treatment of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Therefore, we support clinical research efforts to this end, participate in the most promising trials, and provide our patients the opportunity to enroll in them. Dr. Reynolds is highly rated in 9 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, Pneumonia, Pulmonary Fibrosis, Acute Interstitial Pneumonia, and Lung Transplant.
Duke Gastroenterology Clinic - Clinic 2J
I am proud to serve as the Chief of the Duke Division of Gastroenterology. In addition to my administrative duties, I enjoy my clinical practice focused on the care of patients with liver diseases. I also continue to participate in clinical research and hope that these studies offer our patients the latest advances and treatment options. Dr. Muir is highly rated in 23 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Hepatitis C, Hepatitis, Sclerosing Cholangitis, Liver Transplant, and Kidney Transplant.
Duke Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Clinic - Clinic 2B/2C
I am a transplant surgeon specializing in kidney transplants. Kidney transplantation is unique in surgery because you’re providing a cure for a disease. It’s very rewarding to see the patients succeed after surgery; the donors also make my practice very special. We can’t do a transplant without them providing this wonderful gift. Duke has been performing kidney transplants for 50+ years – since the very beginnings of the field. In fact, the process of how we match tissues for transplants was started at Duke. We’ve done thousands of kidney transplants here, so it’s great to be a part of a program with such a rich history. I’m also the chairman of the Department of Surgery and the surgeon-in-chief for the Duke University Health System, where we perform all types of transplants. Dr. Kirk is highly rated in 4 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Malnutrition, Hepatic Ischemia, Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Kidney Transplant, and Islet Cell Transplantation.
