I am an endocrinologist with a focus on endocrine side effects from both cancer and its treatments. I understand that learning about a diagnosis of cancer can be life-changing, and I am invested in helping my patients understand and navigate the complexity of their cancer treatments and resulting side effects. I developed the Duke Endo-Oncology Program which provides care to cancer patients who develop diabetes, thyroid, adrenal, and other side effects from cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy. My goal is to allow my patients with new and pre-existing endocrine problems to derive best the benefit from their cancer treatments while we support and manage side effects. Outside of work, I like to explore cultures through travel and food and enjoy painting and art projects with my son and daughter.
My research interests include endocrine side effects from cancer drugs.

Duke Health contracts with most major health insurance carriers and transplant networks, including the ones listed below. Before scheduling your appointment, we strongly recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the Duke Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any co-payments, co–insurances, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with Duke, your out of pocket liability may be higher. We will contact you regarding your coverage and patient liability. If you are uninsured, learn more about our financial assistance policy.
