Dr. Melissa Allen
Overview
So much of life’s experiences and enjoyment comes from movement, and I have made it my mission to help children live their best lives through improved physical function. I enjoy getting to know both the patient and their guardians and believe shared decision making is the best way to optimize outcomes. This entails taking the whole child, family situation, and goals into consideration and coming up with a strategy together that makes the most sense. I have specialized interest and experience treating developmental hip dysplasia and a variety of leg deformities including those that are crooked, twisted, or too short. With these conditions, we are beginning with a structure that isn’t normal and working to make it better than it could have been without intervention. Even thinking about having surgery can be nerve wracking for children and their families alike, but my team and I will be with you every step of the way.

Duke Children's Health Center Kidney Transplant Clinic
I am a pediatric nephrologist and work with children with kidney disease. Some of the conditions that we see include congenital malformations of the kidney and the bladder, nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the kidney filters), and children who are on dialysis or who received kidney transplantation because of kidney failure. I listen carefully to parents when they bring their children to the clinic because they know their children better than any other person, and they are the best advocates for their child. I collaborate a lot with the other doctors in the clinic. Rest assured, when you visit our clinic and I am not around, the doctor who is seeing you knows everything about your child. This is a group practice with a very caring multidisciplinary team. Dr. Gbadegesin is highly rated in 9 conditions, according to our data.
