About Me
I am a cardiac electrophysiologist at Duke Health. My parents tell me that I wanted to be a doctor since the age of two. During all my years of grade school and undergraduate studies, I sought to make my dream a reality. When my father died from a heart attack when I was 16, I found myself on the path to cardiovascular medicine. The heart's electrical system captured my attention and presented me with the challenge of learning and understanding it. I was especially curious about atrial fibrillation. Because of this, I decided to pursue a specialty in adult cardiac electrophysiology. When I am not working, I enjoy reading, working out, and spending time with friends. Additionally, I love to travel the world and have visited over 40 countries.

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.
Training and Education
Clinical Focus and Research
My research interests center around health care disparities, specifically racial and ethnic disparities in the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation. My goal is to assist underrepresented racial and ethnic groups to receive equitable care with respect to the treatment of abnormal heart rhythms. My career development awards center on understanding how black and white patients with atrial fibrillation make decisions about oral blood-thinning medications. My ultimate goal is to develop interventions aimed at ensuring that all patients, specifically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, make informed, values-based decisions about oral blood-thinning medications.
