NC FFA Sufferers

I just got a call from Duke University where I had seen Dr. Olsen for my FFA. I was informed that she is no longer seeing patients with hair loss and that for my next appointment I will be seeing her physician's assistant. Anyone else who has been to this clinic receive this call?

I'm a little bummed about it as Dr. Olsen is touted as one of the foremost specialists in this disease but if she trained her PA then it's really the next best thing. They didn't give a reason why. I'm guessing may be she just has too much on her plate? But that's just a guess.

Very happy for you, Ammie. Is the PA Elizabeth LeeAnn West ?

Thank you! Her name is Sam. Not sure of last name. She's very nice.

Yes, I am pretty sure that's it. It is on the campus of the main hospital in the Duke Clinic building on the third floor where the purple bank of elevators are. That place feels like the concourse of an airport. Dr. Hall has taken over Dr. Olsen's patients since she is out.

The PA I saw isn't listed on their website. She might be fairly new. I had my first visit in December.
