Overview
While practicing in general gastroenterology, I witnessed my most gravely ill patients experience immediate and tangible benefits after liver or kidney transplantation. Seeing the positive and lasting impact transplant made on patients' health and quality of life led me to pursue it as my career. It is a privilege to educate and guide patients through the transplant process and rewarding to watch them achieve their health care goals. Outside of my clinical practice, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my husband and our two Australian Shepherds, following a variety of sports, trying new restaurants, and traveling.

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.
