Pediatric Rheumatologist
My Locations
About Me
I am a pediatric rheumatologist and take care of children who have rheumatic diseases and autoimmune diseases. Some of the diagnoses we take care of include juvenile arthritis, lupus, localized scleroderma, dermatitis, and inflammatory eye disease. Kids are very inspiring, and in this field you have the chance to affect them for the rest of their lives. I was drawn to pediatrics almost immediately in medical school. My approach is to partner with parents as they handle care for their child, talking through why their kid needs treatment, the benefits and risks, and working with the whole family as they undergo treatment. Duke is one of the largest centers in the southeast for pediatric rheumatology. We have an active fellowship program, so we are always staying current with the latest treatments, which benefits the patient in the end.
