"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. I focus on listening to a patient's description of her symptoms and their impact on her, her goals for treatment, and – by using evidence-based techniques– I evaluate her condition. 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. Our division is nationally recognized as offering the best possible urogynecologic care with a full range of approaches to suit any patient.

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 find the women who seek treatment in our urogynecology specialty to be an inspirational set of people. Our ladies, who span a wide age range, are generally active and want to stay this way -- without a pelvic floor disorder weighing them down. The services and treatment options that we provide are innovative and I strive to tailor my recommendations to fit the woman in front of me -- her lifestyle, her activity level and her concerns. I am originally from Miami and moved north for the sole purpose of joining this wonderful urogynecology practice. The physicians, nursing staff, and administrative staff that I have the fortune of working with are a dynamic group who shares the common goal of providing professional and patient-focused care. I am energetic and love the performing arts, so I try to spend any free time dancing and enjoying the theater. Dr. Kawasaki is highly rated in 5 conditions, according to our data.

I specialize in treating mothers who have infectious diseases that might affect their baby during pregnancy or develop infections while pregnant. As a researcher, I conduct clinical trials with the goal of improving pregnancy outcomes. I am trained in obstetrics and gynecology and have done additional training in maternal-fetal medicine. I chose to pursue maternal-fetal medicine because it allows me to focus on treating a complex medical problem for a short period of time, when the patient is still relatively healthy. Most of the medical problems I treat have a positive outcome. Pregnancy is a joyous time for the patient and their family, and I enjoy sharing in that happiness. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our twins. I also enjoy traveling, cooking, running on trails, and watching and playing golf. Dr. Swamy is highly rated in 4 conditions, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are Tetanus, Newborn Transient Tachypnea, Preeclampsia, and Newborn Low Blood Sugar.

"I specialize in caring for pregnancies involving maternal or fetal conditions. While I enjoy caring for patients with a broad range of concerns, much of my work centers on caring for patients who are planning pregnancy or who are pregnant while living with heart conditions or blood disorders. I enjoy building relationships with my patients during pregnancy and helping ensure safe and healthy births. Every day, I am reminded how lucky I am to work among so many talented colleagues at Duke Health. One of the best parts of my job is seeing how teamwork and planning can make our patients' birth experiences positive and memorable, even when a pregnancy is considered ""high risk"".". Dr. Federspiel is highly rated in 2 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn, Eclampsia, Venous Thromboembolism (VTE), Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), and Stent Placement.

I specialize in the care of women throughout pregnancy, including preconception planning and in the postpartum period. In particular, I have advanced training in the medical and surgical care of women with pregnancies affected by medical conditions or pregnancy-related complications. I am also a scientist, and a significant portion of my time is dedicated to research in understanding the causes of pregnancy complications such as preterm birth, preeclampsia or stillbirth. Pregnancy and delivery are life-changing occasions in any circumstance, and I consider it a privilege to participate in these significant events of my patients’ lives. My practice is influenced by my own experiences as a wife, daughter, sister and mother of four young children. I recognize that every pregnancy is unique, and I am committed to listening to the individual experience of each woman in my care. Dr. Gilner is highly rated in 2 conditions, according to our data.

I see patients with all gynecological concerns. I have a particular interest and clinical focus on the management of patients with pelvic pain, including diagnoses of endometriosis, adenomyosis, nerve entrapment, vaginismus, vulvodynia, pelvic floor dysfunction, painful intercourse, fibroids, and cysts. I perform an average of 130 operative procedures per year, mostly using primarily minimally invasive techniques. I also perform trigger point and botox muscle injections. In September 2016, I was featured as a Mom-Approved Top Doctor in Atlanta Parents Magazine. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, coaching youth soccer, and playing with my three kids. Dr. Lachiewicz is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Tubal Disease, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, Vaginismus, Angiomyoma, and Hysterectomy.

I am a maternal-fetal medicine doctor and provide obstetrical care to high-risk moms, either because the mother could have a maternal medical complication or the fetus could be affected by a complication or an anomaly. My primary role is to help patients make an informed decision on determining when to deliver and how, meaning at what gestational age we should do a C-section or have a vaginal birth. These questions can be incredibly complex and there’s not a perfect right or wrong answer, so I help the patient and their families think through options so they can make an informed decision for their unique situation. Here at Duke, we foster a collaborative environment, which is especially important in this subspecialty, since the fetus will oftentimes have a condition that requires a pediatric team. So we all work well together to tailor a plan that is specific to the patient and their needs. Dr. Wheeler is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are Preeclampsia, Postpartum Depression, Endometritis, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Infection.
