About Me

I specialize in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes and often prescribe insulin pumps and glucose sensors. I also specialize in thyroid disorders and perform a lot of thyroid biopsies. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two daughters, jogging, and hiking with my family and our dogs. I am also a Notre Dame Football fan and watch games whenever possible in the fall.

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.
