About Me

I care for patients and families seeking bone marrow transplants, cellular therapies, and gene therapies for high-risk cancers, genetic and metabolic disorders, and primary immune deficiencies. I work closely with a comprehensive team to ensure the best long-term outcomes and quality of life. I am attentive to the needs of my patients, as well as their caregivers and families. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and exploring new cultures.

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.
