Sionne A.C. George, MD

I am a board-certified family medicine physician who was born in the Caribbean, namely "America's Paradise" St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands. I gravitated towards the field of family medicine. I discovered that I enjoyed working in the outpatient setting early in my medical career along with serving under-served populations. I fell in love with the continuity of care, providing compassion and understanding, teamwork, and communication that family medicine encompasses. I chose Duke because I wanted to be part of an academic program, and loved the patient population. In my current position, I am passionate about primary care and prevention, pediatrics, adolescent medicine, chronic disease management, providing health care to under-served populations, and performing minor office procedures. I am a member of the American Academy of Family Medicine and the North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, venturing to new restaurants, going to the movies, shopping, and spending time with family and friends. I am engaged to be married in August 2014.
