Sarah Lipscomb
20 Duke Medicine Cir, 
Durham, NC 

Overview

I help individuals and their loved ones manage the symptoms and stress that often accompany serious illness. I strive to provide patient-centered care that optimizes wellness and honors the unique person I am given the opportunity to care for. There is nothing algorithmic about caring for people, and it is my belief that when evidence-based care is delivered compassionately, through a plan that considers the whole person and their lived experiences, the best outcomes will be achieved. Knowing who my patients are, what forces have shaped their lives, what makes them smile, and what they worry about at night is essential to providing meaningful care. Helping patients reach their goals through shared decision making and collaboration is both an honor and privilege. When I am not collaborating with my patients or my peers, I love to read, write, draw, work in my garden, travel, swim in anything that isn't a pool, and spend every minute that I can with my two teenage children, who are my sunshine.

Ms. Lipscomb is board certified in American Academy Of Nurse Practitioners. She is actively involved in clinical research, co-authoring 3 peer reviewed articles.

I have worked in oncology in various capacities through the years - most recently taking care of people with brain and spine tumors. It has been a privilege to work with patients and their families as they walk through their cancer journey. I hope to work with you on managing your disease and symptoms. Most importantly I hope to grow to know each of you and your stories. When I'm not at work, I'm trying to keep up with my two little ones while hunting for a cup of coffee.

I am passionate about caring for patients with primary brain and spinal cord tumors. I value establishing relationships with patients and their families and making sure they are getting the same treatment, including symptom management, that I would want my family to receive. Open and honest communication with patients is important to me. I enjoy educating patients and advocating for them to ensure that their needs are met in a timely fashion. I am interested in long-term survivorship education of my patients and I also have a passion for teaching and mentoring future health care professionals. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, running, Duke basketball, and spending time with my family. Ms. Brown is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data.
