Dr. Shital H. Patel
Overview
I am a pediatric neurologist specializing in epilepsy. I see infants, children, and adolescents with epilepsy and other neurological disorders. Treating epilepsy is more than seizure control. The complex secondary effects of the disease, such as a child's social and emotional development, much also be assessed and managed. I believe that every person with epilepsy and other neurological diseases needs to be treated as a whole person and provided with compassionate and excellent care, so that they can achieve their full potential. I treat the whole spectrum of pediatric epilepsy, including common infantile, childhood, and adolescent epilepsy syndromes, genetic and developmental epilepsies, and difficult-to-treat epilepsies that may require alternative treatments, such as dietary or surgical therapies. I am from New Jersey, and North Carolina has been a beautiful place to call home. I have two young children that keep me active. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the outdoors with my family and love baking treats.

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. His top areas of expertise are Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, Nephrotic Syndrome, Minimal Change Disease, Glomerulonephritis, and Kidney Transplant.
Duke Children's Health Center Hematology/Oncology Clinic
I treat children with cancer and blood disorders, such as anemia and sickle cell disease. When families come in, there is understandably a huge amount of anxiety. I try to spend a lot of time with them and discuss what we know, what we need to find out, and how we plan to care for their children. My goal is to make it the least scary as possible for both the children and the parents/caregivers while providing the best care. Even in the setting of severe illness, interacting with children is uplifting and extremely rewarding. Children truly demonstrate the resilience of the human spirit. What I love most about my job is having relationships with children and seeing them grow; it is a wonderful experience. Dr. Rothman is highly rated in 11 conditions, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency, Anemia, Hemolytic Anemia, Congenital Hemolytic Anemia, and Splenectomy.
