About Me

I'm a pediatric cardiologist and joined Duke Health and Duke Children's Hospital in 2002. My practice, Duke Children's Cardiology of Creekstone, is part of the Duke Pediatric and Congenital Heart Center. My commitment is to provide superb care and a great experience for patients and families. I serve as the Vice-Chair of Practice and Clinical Affairs for the Department of Pediatrics and have oversight of Duke Children's clinical programs, both in the Research Triangle area and across the state of North Carolina. I am a co-host of the 'Pediatric Voices' podcast for Duke Health. Outside of work, I enjoy cycling and kayaking and attending college football games at my children's schools.

Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. Patients who see some types of providers receive a different version of the patient satisfaction survey.

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.
