Dr. Vibhor M. Krishna

I am a neurosurgeon and researcher who focuses on surgical solutions for movement disorders and pain due to cancer, prior nerve injury, stroke, failed back surgery, limb amputation, trigeminal neuralgia and other causes. I have always been fascinated by how the brain and spinal cord works, converting a thought in your mind to a physical action or feeling. As a neurosurgeon, I get to treat people who have problems with this process. Every day, I get to help patients make dramatic improvements in their quality of life, which is greatly rewarding. At Duke, we’re lucky to have access to the latest technologies and world-class research. Our technology allows us to perform surgeries in the least invasive, most precise ways possible. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and three young boys. Dr. Lad is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.

I focus on functional neurosurgery and pain management. I find that working with patients who have chronic pain and have tried numerous medical and conservative therapies for their pain are an under-served population. I strive to tailor the correct treatment for each individual. When I am not at work I, enjoy spending time with my family and exploring the area.
