Overview

I am blessed and privileged to be able to come to work each day at Duke. I enjoy working in dermatology, as I can see folks of all ages with all sorts of skin conditions. It requires a lot of listening, looking, and often times a procedure to biopsy a place of concern. I like to educate patients on their skin condition, on the importance of good skin care, and on sun protection. Duke Dermatology has an amazing team of people to work with, everyone enjoys their job and excels at it. I enjoy getting to know my patients and their families and hope to make their Duke experience a really great one. I consider myself an optimistic, realistic, open, energetic person, eager to learn and help patients as efficiently as possible in a fun way. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and young children, working outdoors, or swimming at the lake.

Ms. West is highly rated in 6 conditions, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are Melanoma, Autosomal Recessive Hypotrichosis, Alopecia Areata, and Giant Congenital Melanocytic Nevus.

I have two areas of clinical expertise: cutaneous lymphoma and hair disorders. In the area of cutaneous lymphoma, I have focused my research on clinical trials for new treatments and consensus building to establish standard guidelines for staging, evaluation, and treatment of patients, as well as the methodology used in clinical trials. My patients are invited to participate in my ongoing database, which captures their response to treatments. My goal is to find a cure for these cancers or, barring that, long lasting remissions. In the area of hair disorders, my goal is to help referring physicians diagnose and treat effectively multiple types of hair loss. My consultative practice is now focused on scarring alopecias, including frontal fibrosing alopecia and hair loss in African-American women in which causes are not obvious. My research focuses on collaborative work with multiple centers in the United States to help create knowledge and new treatments. Dr. Olsen is highly rated in 11 conditions, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL), Mycosis Fungoides, T-Cell Lymphoma, and Sezary Syndrome.
