About Me

I became a doctor to serve patients. The dedication, drive, and enthusiasm to be a compassionate doctor are traits I learned as a former professional athlete and I continuously apply those qualities to my journey as a doctor. My primary clinical interests are cancer patients particularly the surgical care of patients with melanoma, skin cancers, soft tissue cancers and other general surgical oncology. My favorite part of being a surgeon who specializes in cancer is that each patient is truly unique and there are no routines; this allows for a personal approach in which plans are made together with the patient. Finally, I believe that Duke is a place where success and achievements in patient care are the direct result of highly productive teams that include highly talented students, residents, nurses, support staff, and physicians.

Clinical Focus and Research

My Research Interests

I am dedicated to advancing the care of cancer patients through research. My primary research interests are utilizing novel treatments for melanoma through appropriately designed clinical trials. In collaboration with basic scientists, we are also working to understand interactions of the immune system with cancer and how the immune system might be manipulated to fight cancer. I also enjoy clinical research whereby patient data is reviewed to answer important questions.
