Overview
Endocrinology has captured my heart because it combines medical science with unique challenges. My passion for solving puzzles drives my deep interest in pituitary disease, the most complex area of endocrinology. As a pituitary specialist and director of the Duke Pituitary Program, I take pride in my role as a knowledgeable physician who strives for thoroughness in every aspect to ensure my patients receive the highest standard of care. I believe the doctor-patient relationship is built on communication, empathy, and trust.
