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.

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 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.

I am a specialist who is fellowship-trained and board-certified in maternal-fetal medicine and medical genetics. This allows me to be uniquely qualified to care for women and their fetuses in fetal ultrasound, genetic counseling, and prenatal diagnosis.

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.

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 clinical expertise encompasses Preeclampsia, Postpartum Depression, Ectopic Pregnancy, and Endometritis.

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. Dr. Thomason is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Vaginal Bleeding Between Periods, Menopause, and Intrauterine Device Insertion.

I am a doctor and researcher who focuses on women’s health issues. My research focuses on infection during pregnancy, specifically HIV infection. I’ve been at Duke for over 25 years. Women who have HIV could have a baby who does not have HIV, if given the right care. My goal is to achieve this result for all mothers with HIV. I consider myself to be a nurturing person who enjoys taking care of people. I view it as an honor to help women at such a sensitive and special time in their lives. I want my patients to feel like they are part of the care team, and that they are safe and in good hands. My favorite time of year is the holidays, when I get a stack of cards from many of the mothers who I’ve treated containing pictures of their babies. Outside of work, I enjoy walking my dog, hiking, working in my yard and exercising. Her clinical expertise encompasses Premature Infant, Gestational Diabetes, Preeclampsia, and Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy. Dr. Livingston is board certified in American Board Of Obstetrics/Gynecology, Obstetrics & Gynecology and American Board Of Obstetrics/Gynecology, Maternal & Fetal Medicine .

I take care of women from adolescence through their adult lives. I went into OB-GYN because I had an interest in women’s health, and I felt like the specialty gave me the opportunity to have a longitudinal relationship with women. You get to serve in many different roles, from routine maintenance to specific problems to major milestones. As a general OB-GYN, I take care of things from contraception counseling to abnormal bleeding, abnormal Pap smears, prenatal care, pregnancy loss, etc. I take care of women during major points of their lives, whether it’s pregnancy, menopause, miscarriage, etc. I really like to get to know the patient as a person and hope to build a relationship for many years. Trust is very important. What I love most about OB-GYN are the deliveries. The fact that I’m able to participate in those special moments with families means a lot to me and brings me a lot of joy.

I was a graduate student working on a combined MD and PhD in neuroscience research when my twin boys arrived prematurely and needed the services of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This experience in the NICU environment inspired me to continue my work in neuroscience and specialize in neonatology. As a neonatologist, I care for newborn infants who require intensive care for different reasons, including being born prematurely, with heart defects or brain injuries. Providing treatment for critically ill infants, and helping to bring them to a place of stability and health, is truly gratifying. In addition to the clinical care I provide, I am involved in research regarding how to both mitigate and treat brain injuries which occur in infants due to premature birth. His clinical expertise encompasses Cerebral Hypoxia and Necrotizing Enterocolitis. Dr. Benner is board certified in American Board Of Pediatrics, Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine.

One of the advantages of coming to Duke is the breadth of specialty support available. My favorite part of my job is my patients. I’m originally from Durham and grew up here, so, I feel like I’m giving back to the community that supported me in this role.

I decided at a very young age that I wanted to become an obstetrician. I was 7 when I watched my own mother go through pregnancy and became fascinated with pregnancy and birth. I started telling everyone “I’m going to deliver babies when I grow up.” As I went through medical school, my draw to the specialty confirmed what I'd felt from a very young age. One of the many reasons I love working at Duke is we are always well-equipped to deal with any emergencies which can arise unexpectedly. While most deliveries do not require any interventions, I am happy we can offer anything needed on a moment’s notice. In addition to taking care of pregnant patients, I enjoy taking care of adolescent women who are transitioning into adulthood. I also enjoy caring for perimenopausal patients and menopausal patients. I am happy to offer in office procedures, such as essure tubal ligation, which is a great option for women whom have completed childbearing. In addition, I enjoy surgical procedures in the operating room when surgery is required to treat an issue that cannot be managed with medication.

I am honored to be a part of women’s lives when they’re going through exciting changes and sometimes sad changes as well, such as miscarriage and pregnancy loss. It can be an exciting, emotional time. I really enjoy getting to know my patients throughout their whole life, whether it’s her first OB/GYN visit to having her first baby to menopause. My clinical interests are general obstetrics, recurrent pregnancy loss, contraception and family planning. I work with our residency program in our family planning clinic where I am the director, and I am also associate residency director. I grew up on a small farm in western North Carolina and went to undergraduate at UNC-Chapel Hill. After undergraduate school, I joined the Peace Corps and went to Ecuador, then came back to the area for medical school. My husband and I have a two year old son who takes up the bulk or our time and consumes a lot of our energy. I have learned a lot from having a son that I put to use in my in practice in obstetrics and how I take care of women in pregnancy.

Dr. Gray is board certified in American Board Of Obstetrics/Gynecology, Obstetrics & Gynecology and American Board Of Obstetrics/Gynecology, Complex Family Planning.

Growing up, I always had an interest in science. Early on, I actually considered becoming a veterinarian because I love animals. However, after having more experience in the veterinary field as well as in medicine, I was drawn to taking care of people. Women’s health provides a unique opportunity in medicine to interact with patients throughout different stages of their life. Obstetrics reflects a particularly exciting time in most women’s lives, and it is an honor to be able to participate in that experience. Duke has several benefits. One is immediate access to top tier clinicians in a variety of subspecialties. Another is that everyone holds themselves to a high personal standard; I’m proud to be a part of that type of work culture. I spend most of my time outside of work with my family, which includes my husband, twin daughters, a cat, and two dogs. I also love to eat, and I enjoy exploring the excellent restaurants throughout the Triangle.

As a child, I had a heart condition and spent a lot of time in and out of doctors offices and hospitals. So I was inspired at an early age toward a career in medicine. I love taking care of women in all stages of their lives. We have young, healthy women having babies, and we have middle-aged women going through other transitions such as menopause. The surgical aspect of our specialty is very important to me as I also enjoy and take pride in my surgical skills. What makes our practice unique is not just our very well-trained physicians, but also that we have other very well-trained physicians of all specialties at our fingertips. So when our patients do have complications or issues that require other specialists, we have the ability to get them in quickly. We also have a premier intensive care nursery, so in the unlikely event than infants need help, we can provide that easily as well. I have two children and enjoy following them around to all their sports activities. Her clinical expertise encompasses Pelvic Inflammatory Disease and Menopause. Dr. Clifford is board certified in American Board Of Obstetrics/Gynecology, Obstetrics & Gynecology. Dr. Clifford is currently accepting new patients.

I enjoy getting to know patients when they first come in, maybe for contraception, then when they’re thinking about starting a family, and then seeing them through their pregnancy and hopefully being able to deliver their baby. For any patient coming in for an obstetrics or gynecology visit, the first time they have that exam can be very intimidating. My goal is to make people as comfortable as possible, especially for those seeing me for the first time -- making them feel comfortable about asking questions. There’s no such thing as a dumb question. The dumb question is the one you don’t ask. At our practice, we all communicate with each other about being consistent in the way that we provide care. We’re all on the same page of our goal of doing the right thing and best thing for the patient. Her clinical expertise encompasses Lichen Sclerosus, Vitiligo, Female Genital Sores, and Hydrocele.

I enjoy getting to know my patients and taking care of them their whole life from adolescence, to needing contraception, to being pregnant, to needing a hysterectomy or transitioning into menopause. Beyond these things, my special interests include family planning, laparoscopic surgery, health care disparities, and resident education. I was born in Eastern North Carolina but grew up in Knightdale. Growing up, I always wanted to deliver babies, now being in the field of obstetrics and gynecology; I do just that and much more.

I am an obstetrician and gynecologist for Durham OB/GYN. I follow patients during their teenage years, through pregnancies and menopause. One of the special things about being a practicing OB/GYN is being a part of the lifelong care of a woman. When I meet a new patient I like to get a good history and set a treatment plan that is specific to that individual's needs and problems. Plus, being a part of the Duke team allows me to work closely with a woman’s primary care provider along with any specialist. My favorite part of my job is all of the different things I get to do, from seeing patients in the office to delivering babies to being a part of OR procedures. The variety keeps me very motivated. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring the outdoors with my husband and two little girls. Her clinical expertise encompasses Menorrhagia, Vaginal Cysts, Vaginal Dryness, and Menopause.

I am a physician in obstetrics and gynecology. As far as OB-GYN, I like the variety of being able to help someone throughout their life and spending time with them in the office, seeing them in the hospital for childbirth or surgery. My favorite part of the work is the variety of patients I get to see every day and how I can help each one of them, always in a different way. I want patients to feel comfortable at our office and know that they are going to get quality and personal care. Someone would choose a Duke-affiliated practice to have access to all of the incredible resources and research we offer. Outside of work, I enjoy long-distance running and spending time with my family. His clinical expertise encompasses Uterine Prolapse and Menopause. Dr. Duncan-Iii is board certified in American Board Of Obstetrics/Gynecology, Obstetrics & Gynecology. Dr. Duncan-Iii is currently accepting new patients.

My particular niche in the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine is prenatal diagnosis, but I do a little bit of everything. The special thing about maternal-fetal medicine here at Duke is that the group is really cohesive in terms of getting along really well, working well together and having a variety of interests within the division. In addition, Duke also has a lot of other subspecialties that we work closely with and which have a lot of interest in pregnancy, so we’re able to collaborate with them. In medical school, I had a great interest in women’s health and loved my OB/GYN rotation and residency. I very much admired the maternal fetal physicians in my residency program. I had great respect for what they did. They were able to take the difficult part of obstetrics and still enable women to have a positive birth experience. That really inspired me. Her clinical expertise encompasses Premature Infant, Preeclampsia, Placenta Previa, and Gestational Diabetes. Dr. Ellestad is board certified in American Board Of Obstetrics/Gynecology, Obstetrics & Gynecology and American Board Of Obstetrics/Gynecology, Maternal & Fetal Medicine.

I am an obstetrician and gynecologist. I mostly see patients along with OB-GYN residents, in my role as an educator. We see patients in the benign gynecology clinic in Duke Clinic and we also see patients offsite, mostly in area health departments. A lot of times we take care of women who don’t have a lot of resources or who have already exhausted resources and they are coming to Duke because we are their only option. As an OB-GYN doctor, you’re catching a woman sometimes at the happiest times of her life and sometimes at the saddest times of her life. I think it’s very important to have an environment where she doesn’t feel judged, and where she feels comfortable sharing any information that you can use to help her feel better and to empower her to seek the care that she needs and do what she can do to contribute to the betterment of her health. Her clinical expertise encompasses Vaginal Bleeding Between Periods, Cervical Dysplasia, Human Papillomavirus Infection, and Female Genital Sores. Dr. Muasher is board certified in American Board Of Obstetrics/Gynecology, Obstetrics & Gynecology. Dr. Muasher is currently accepting new patients.

I see a wide variety of patients, from pregnancy care to the delivery process, annual visits, or patients who need gynecology surgery. I try to be very instructional and give patients as much information as I can about the problem that they are here for and the options for treatments. I like to keep the dialogue open and hopefully, patients feel very comfortable by the time they are leaving the office after their visit. One of the nice features about Duke is the integration between specialties. Most women come to our office for OB-GYN care, but to treat them as a whole person, with other health care needs, I am able to communicate with other physicians in other specialties and use ancillary resources through the Duke system. Her clinical expertise encompasses Lichen Sclerosus, Angiomyoma, Uterine Fibroids, and Female Genital Sores. Dr. Maclaurin is board certified in American Board Of Obstetrics/Gynecology, Obstetrics & Gynecology. Dr. Maclaurin is currently accepting new patients.

It's wonderful, in OB-GYN, the way we get to be part of important moments in patients' lives and to develop long-term relationships with them. From helping young women transition into adulthood to delivering their babies to being there for their more painful and vulnerable moments, it’s a privilege to be a part of those personal times in their lives. Because every woman is different, I have a very individualized approach when I meet with patients. It’s important for me to listen to what their health care needs and wants are. At Duke, we have cutting-edge technology, specialists, and so many resources available. If I have a patient that I need help with, either within the Ob-Gyn department or with another specialty, I have people that I can easily ask across the system.
