Training and Education
Clinical Focus and Research
My research centers on helping patients to recover normal function after major surgery. Enhanced Recovery helps patients to walk, eat, and drink normally earlier after major surgery so that they are able to return home.

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.
