About Me
I specialize in pulmonology and critical care. When caring for patients, I pushed myself to learn everything possible to help them regain a good quality of life. My patients appreciate my close communication with them. I have learned that no matter what the news is or whatever the outcome may be, it is crucial to reach out and speak to our patients to discuss findings and plans for care. I am happy to have the opportunity to do what I have trained for my entire life. I thank God for this blessing and will work hard to serve and give back to my community. In my personal life, I'm happily married and have three beautiful daughters.

Ratings and Reviews
The ratings and reviews are based on patient responses to the overall provider rating question from the survey. The question reads: “Using any number from 0 to 10, where 0 is the worst provider possible and 10 is the best provider possible, what number would you use to rate this provider?” Responses are converted to a 5-point rating system and applied consistently to all providers. Learn more about our survey process. Patients who see some types of providers receive a different version of the patient satisfaction survey. Those results are not available on DukeHealth.org.
