Karen A. Boston
5102 N Roxboro St, 
Durham, NC 

Overview

I serve my patients with an open mind and compassion. I endeavor to treat patients with the respect, attention, and warmth that I would want for both myself and my closest loved ones. I aspire to create open and trusting doctor-patient relationships in order to produce the best possible patient health and life outcomes. Seeing my patients thrive and become champions of their own health gives me the greatest joy and job satisfaction. I treat adult patients and especially enjoy working with Spanish-speakers. In my free time, I enjoy watching Telenovelas. They are my secret addiction.

I use an approach that is simple and effective, and evidence-based. Medical conditions, like type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, GERD, fatty liver, and PCOS, can all be improved or even reversed through food.
