Clinical Focus and Research

My Research Interests

My main research interest is obesity prevention and I focus on factors in early life that may contribute to obesity. Specifically, I am interested in ensuring healthy growth in infants and young children. My goal is to better understand how parents feed their young children and find ways to improve healthy behaviors in early life.

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.
