Overview

I am a clinician dedicated to helping adults preserve and improve their vision. My main focus is cataract surgery where I can offer advanced technology intraocular lenses, as well as minimally invasive glaucoma surgery. Undergoing eye surgery can be daunting and my main goal is to make patients feel comfortable throughout the process. My mother was a NICU nurse at Children’s Hospital and my dad is an entrepreneur in the health care sector. Both of my parents instilled a sense of curiosity and enjoyment in helping others, which is why I eventually chose a path in medicine. Following residency training, I was Chief of Ophthalmic Trauma at Washington University in St. Louis, where I later become Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology. I taught cataract surgery to senior residents and also had the great opportunity to work with the glaucoma team at the Veterans Affairs Hospital. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my significant other and our golden retriever. We love to travel and explore the outdoors, whether on hikes or relaxing at the beach.

I was born and raised right here in Durham, NC. After attending college at Duke, I ventured north to Boston, where I completed most of my medical training, and was fortunate to meet and marry the love of my life, my husband Neil (also on faculty as a cardiologist here at Duke). I returned to Durham for my Glaucoma fellowship, briefly joined the faculty “across the street” at UNC-Chapel Hill, and then returned “home” to Duke Eye Center in 1995, where I have been on the faculty ever since. Dual fellowship-trained in both Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus as well as in Glaucoma, I have a clinical and research focus on pediatric glaucoma and cataracts, as well as retinopathy of prematurity, but enjoy providing care for myriad pediatric problems of the eyes, including treatment of “grown children” with ocular alignment issues. My modus operandi is very simple – I simply try hard to treat each and every patient the way I would like someone to treat me. It works every time, and I am privileged to be a clinician and educator at Duke Eye Center and in Duke University Health System. Dr. Freedman is rated as an Elite provider by MediFind in the treatment of Cataract. Her top areas of expertise are Retinopathy of Prematurity, Strabismus, Brown Syndrome, Trabeculectomy, and Cataract Removal.
