Overview
I am a medical oncologist who primarily treats patients with head and neck cancer and lung cancer. I also do clinical research trials. I believe that it’s important to provide all the available treatment options to the patients including clinical trials before we mutually agree on a treatment plan. My primary goal is to provide exceptional care to my patients as well as their families. My focus is compassionate patient care tailored to each individual patient. I am constantly inspired and motivated by my patients and families, and I am very excited to be part of Duke team. Outside of medicine, I like spending time with my husband and daughter, and outdoor activities.

2 Clinical Trials
Duke Cancer Center
I am a medical oncologist and researcher who specializes in treating patients with lung cancer and head and neck cancer. I’ve been at Duke for eight years. I first realized I wanted to become a doctor in graduate school, because it gave me the opportunity to practically apply scientific evidence to help others. What I love most about my job is working with our research and clinical staff to come up with new and hopeful therapies for patients. When a patient comes to see me, I look at their past and current medical history, review their lab tests, and then work with a team to figure out which treatment would work best for them. If a patient comes from far away, we try to make sure we can fit in visits with all the relevant specialists before they leave. Outside of work, I enjoy exercising with friends and spending time with my children at their various activities. Dr. Ready is highly rated in 17 conditions, according to our data.
