"I can distinctly remember the awe and utter amazement I felt watching my first cesarean delivery. I knew that there was a baby inside the mother's abdomen, but it was amazing to see the doctors deliver it. To see it just ""pop out"". Still, to this day, I get that feeling of awe and amazement every time I help a mom deliver her baby. I feel so lucky to be part of such a wonderful moment in a family's life. As a maternal fetal medicine specialist, I take care of sick moms, sick babies, and sick pregnancies. Each day, while I get to help women and their families with big wins and happy moments, I also have the opportunity to help them through sad times and some of the worst moments of their lives. It is these hard and sad moments that make the happy ones even more meaningful. I also spend some of my time helping to teach medical students about Ob/Gyn. I really enjoy teaching, and sharing my love for Ob/Gyn with young learners is one of my favorite parts of my job. My other very important job is being a mom. I have three fantastic young boys that keep me busy and remind me on a daily basis how important family is. I love to swim and make jam. Apricot Jam is my favorite.".

I have chosen to direct my efforts as a physician toward improving the quality of life for women who are dealing with pelvic floor disorders.

Treatment options might vary from patient to patient; the best way to proceed is often an individualized decision. I am pleased to have been a member of the Duke faculty since 1996.

Ira Smith is an Obstetrics and Gynecologist in Durham, North Carolina.

I decided to pursue a career in obstetrics after observing a delivery during my first week of obstetrics training in medical school. The sheer excitement of every birth along with the knowledge of all of the possible complications faced by a mother was what attracted me to the field of maternal fetal medicine. Every day I feel privileged to be a part of this very personal experience for so many women. As a researcher in the areas of infectious diseases in pregnancy, I see it as my duty to help advance the care of women and their fetuses who may experience infectious complications. I hope to leave a mark on our field that leads to improved infectious disease outcomes for women and their children. I moved to the Chapel Hill area after many years of living and practicing in Rhode Island because of the outstanding group of physicians here. My family loves the area and getting out to explore all that North Carolina has to offer. Dr. Hughes is highly rated in 9 conditions, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are High Blood Pressure in Infants, Cytomegalovirus Antenatal Infection, Congenital Cytomegalovirus, and Endometritis.

I became interested in pelvic floor disorders because of the emphasis on improving the quality of life. For most pelvic floor disorders – bladder, bowel, sexual dysfunction, or vaginal bulge – there are usually multiple treatment options with different pros and cons. Because each woman is different, I tend to teach each patient about her own pelvic floor issues, and then we collaborate to develop a treatment plan that incorporates her specific goals. I am actively involved in research because I think that is the way that we will develop better treatment options for women. In my spare time, I love to cook, entertain friends, and travel with my husband and children. Dr. Siddiqui is highly rated in 6 conditions, according to our data.

Ever since I was an undergraduate at Duke, I have been interested in women's lives, and specifically how reproductive health plays a central role in a woman's quality of life. I am passionate about providing high quality and patient-centered care to women at all stages of their lives. I strive to work with women to make health care decisions that will be best for them. My clinical specialty areas are cervical cancer prevention, management of vulvar, vaginal and cervical pre-cancers, family planning, but I have experience with all aspects of gynecologic care. I left Durham after college to train in New York and then San Francisco. My family and I moved back to the area in September 2016, and we are excited to rejoin the Duke community.  I am excited to show my two children all of the parts of North Carolina that have made it so special to me.

I never thought I wanted to be a doctor until I worked at Planned Parenthood after college. As a medical assistant working with patients, I realized my passion for women’s health. I later went to UNC for medical school and decided to pursue obstetrics and gynecology due to the importance of women’s health care. During residency at UC San Diego, I was fortunate to rotate at the local VA hospital and loved serving our veterans and their families. I knew that I wanted to work at a VA when I completed training. After my fellowship in family planning at Emory University, I couldn’t be happier with my current job! I split my time between Duke, mainly focusing on contraception and pregnancy loss care, and the Durham VA, where I can provide gynecology care to our much deserving, women veterans.

I was drawn to the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology because I saw from an early age how empowering a positive physician-patient relationship was for women of all ages. The impact of an open and trusting physician-patient relationship is immeasurable. I strive to provide my patients the care and experience that they deserve by first just listening. Listening to a patient's concerns, thoughts, and fears allows me to tailor my care to the individual and her specific needs. Whether I am providing obstetrical care, preventative and problem based gynecologic care, solutions for chronic and acute pelvic pain, or having discussions regarding advanced surgical interventions, the most important element is putting my patient's needs first. I am fortunate that I can form life-long relationships with patients from adolesence through menopause, and help them navigate their journey by being supportive and keeping them in good health. Being an Obstetrician/Gynecologist is extremely rewarding for all these reasons, but there is nothing more gratifying than helping a patient achieve her goals by preserving her health and well-being. His top areas of expertise are Vaginal Bleeding Between Periods, Painful Menstrual Periods, Cervical Dysplasia, Human Papillomavirus Infection, and Hysterectomy.

I am an Obstetrician and Gynecologist who specializes in urogynecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery. I am passionate about improving the health and quality of life of women with pelvic floor disorders. These conditions, which include bladder and bowel control problems, dropped bladder and vaginal bulging, affect millions of women. It is extremely rewarding to be able to help my patients get their lives back. At Duke, I feel very fortunate to work with a nationally recognized team of urogynecologists, urologists, physical therapists and researchers that have been providing the full spectrum of medical and surgical care for these conditions for over two decades. It is very gratifying to be able to provide multidisciplinary care that is tailored to each patient’s own problems and goals. I also have the privilege of being the chairman of the Duke Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, a team of over 80 generalists and specialists dedicated to improving the health of women. His top areas of expertise are Uterine Prolapse, Urinary Incontinence, Stress Urinary Incontinence, and Vulvodynia.

I became interested in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery due to the positive impact that this type of surgery can have on women’s lives. Women can now have surgeries that in the past would have required several nights in the hospital as an outpatient procedure via robot-assisted laparoscopy, conventional laparoscopy, minilaparotomy and hysteroscopy. My approach to patient care is based on the understanding that each woman I see is an individual with different medical needs, values and concerns. Together we will collaborate to find the best and most appropriate plan for her whether that be surgical or medical management. I have focused my clinical interests on the surgical and medical treatment of uterine fibroids, abnormal and postmenopausal bleeding, ovarian cysts, endometriosis and finding alternatives to hysterectomy. I have a particular interest in robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for myomectomies and complex hysterectomies. Her top areas of expertise are Vitiligo, Female Genital Sores, Neonatal Ovarian Cyst, Hydrocele, and Hysterectomy.
