ABOUT ME
I was born in Atlanta, Georgia, but my family moved to northern California when I was seven. I have fond memories of vacationing on the Outer Banks, playing soccer for most of my youth, and rowing for my undergraduate school. As an avid soccer player, I followed the UNC-Chapel Hill women’s soccer team and aspired to attend the university one day. My dreams were realized when I was accepted into the master of arts program in exercise physiology. After graduation, I had the honor of working with our service members at the Fort Bragg Army Wellness Center where I developed health and wellness programs. My work at Bragg inspired me to return to school and become a physician assistant. I completed a master’s degree in this discipline at Elon University in 2017. In my spare time, I enjoy exercising, cooking, and spending time with my family and friends.

I grew up in Durham, North Carolina. I always wanted to become a doctor. Medicine combines two things that I love: people and science. I am board-certified in family medicine and have been practicing urgent care medicine since 2011. I even served as medical director for a local urgent care center for five years. Trained as a primary care physician, I love the broad scope of urgent care medicine, along with the chance to perform procedures. I also love the challenge and variety of acute care needs and diagnoses. While medicine is challenging and patients are in need, I do try to connect with my patients and address their needs, but make them feel special at the same time. In my free time, I enjoy time with my wife and friends, exercising, and playing music as a hobby musician (guitar, bass, and drums).

Scott Elston, MD, FACP
I am board certified in internal medicine and I have been practicing urgent care medicine since 1997. I enjoy the fast pace of urgent care, as well as the opportunity to solve problems for my patients. My approach has always been to accurately diagnose and treat underlying issues, while alleviating symptoms whenever possible. My training in internal medicine, my transitional internship (mixed medicine/surgery), as well as my previous roles as medical director of an intensive care unit and emergency room have prepared me well for the practice of urgent care. Growing up, I was undecided as to whether I wanted to become a detective or a teacher. I feel that my current work in urgent care allows me to be both!

I enjoy interacting with patients. As a family medicine doctor, I get to see a lot of ages, from babies to the elderly and everyone in between. I think it’s important to have a good relationship with the patient. I really enjoy getting to know patients, talking with them about their families, about their jobs, and how they are doing in general. I’ve always enjoyed providing care for people and chose to go into family medicine because it really encompasses all fields. Duke is a well-respected organization, and we strive to provide excellent care to patients. I’m originally from Trinidad and Tobago and love living in this area.
