About Me
I specialize in critical care medicine and inpatient pulmonary disease. I'm privileged to take care of the very sickest of patients, and I'm honored to take care of patients in a way that aligns with their values. When I'm not in the hospital, I enjoy exploring new food and ballroom dancing.

Clinical Focus and Research

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.
