About Me

I am a lung specialist with training and focus on interventional pulmonology and lung cancer. I use minimally-invasive technology to diagnose spots on the lungs or abnormalities in the breathing tubes. I also help patients struggling to breath because of blockage in their airways due to tumor, inflammation, or foreign objects. I use innovative bronchoscopy techniques to open the blockages. I let my patients decide with me what works best for them after we discuss benefits and risks of each treatment. I am happiest when my patients return to my clinic telling me about their improved breathing and new-found energy to enjoy their family life. I enjoy spending my free time with my family, including chasing after my three young kids.

Ratings and Reviews

The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to care provider related questions on our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Learn more about our survey process. 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. Those results are not available on DukeHealth.org.

Before scheduling your appointment, we strongly recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the Duke Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. 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.
