About Me

I have been practicing pediatrics for over 20 years. I completed medical school and a pediatric residency at the University of Minnesota and spent the first 13 years of my clinical practice in the Minneapolis area. I then taught clinical pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh before moving to North Carolina. I enjoy working with children of all ages. I have been trained in the Positive Parenting Program. My husband is a pediatric rheumatologist at Duke University Medical Center and we have two boys who keep us busy with all their activities.

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.
