Clinical Activities

I enjoy providing full spectrum Obstetrics and Gynecology with Duke Women's Health Associates including inpatient obstetrics, operative gynecology, and ambulatory work. I have also found a few specialized niches which make my practice unique:

➢I serve as a referral provider for breast cancer patients with gynecologic problems: bleeding on Tamoxifen, vasomotor symptoms, contraceptive options, and women affected by BRCA mutations. I am a regional expert on non-hormonal alternatives for treating vasomotor symptoms among breast cancer survivors. I provide educational opportunities for other providers, so they can learn about these treatments. I founded a Menopause Specialty Clinic in 2016 providing consultation and primary gynecologic care to all women at this stage of life which is held each week and I am continuing this work at Duke through the Center for Menopause at Arringdon.

➢I am the only pediatric and adolescent gynecologists in the Triangle and am one of only a few in the entire Southeast Region. Families across North Carolina seek my expertise on a range of pediatric and adolescent gynecologic conditions: labial adhesions, prepubescent bleeding and vaginitis, adolescents with bleeding diatheses and heavy menstrual bleeding. I also provide gynecologic care for disabled adolescents, whose care can sometimes pose additional challenges.

➢In addition, through my collaborative work seeing complex young patients I have developed several other multidisciplinary collaborations serving important needs for populations that often have difficulty finding knowledgeable comprehensive care elsewhere.
-I am the founder of the Congenital GU Anomalies Interest Group - a cross divisional and specialty group of clinicians that are working to improve education, collaboration, and a service-line here at Duke; e.g complex Mullerian Abnormalities
-I provide the adult care as well as expert consultation to Turner’s syndrome patients, in collaboration with Pediatric Endocrinology.
-I am the Faculty Co-director of Women and Girls with Bleeding Disorders Clinic with the Division of Hematology which was begun at UNC in 2018 and I am currently in the process of creating a similar clinic at Duke.
