Dr. Yaw D. Boachie
Overview
I have expertise in hand and wrist disorders, rotator cuff repair, shoulder replacement, and elbow pathology. I am one of a handful of upper extremity surgeons nationwide to have completed dual clinical fellowships in hand, shoulder, and elbow. Given this comprehensive training and background, I feel especially qualified to synthesize and treat complex upper extremity problems. I am dedicated to the delivery of state-of-the-art, yet scientifically-backed, surgical and medical treatment. As a practitioner, my goals are always to listen to my patients, understand them, educate them, and come up with effective treatment they are comfortable with and understand. This may be surgical or non-surgical but is always tailored to their goals and lifestyles. I believe in the philosophy that “health is wealth”. Personally, I try to live this through running, cycling, and enjoying the outdoors. My family also energizes me and gives me joy. I try to offer this same philosophy to my patients, and consider it a blessing to have the opportunity to care for them each day.

Duke Ambulatory Surgery Center
I am an orthopaedic surgeon who is the chief of hand surgery at Duke. Although we are referred to as “hand surgeons,” I treat many people with wrist and elbow conditions. Because the hand is so complex, patients who see me can have complaints that range from numbness and weakness to issues with range of motion. My grandfather, my grandmother, my mother and my father were all health care workers. I have wanted to be a surgeon since I watched M*A*S*H on the television as a child. I obtain great satisfaction from treating someone who has a very severe hand or arm injury, reconstructing the part and restoring its basic function. Duke has been the strongest hand surgery program in the country for the past 50 to 75 years. As chair of the program, I want patients to know that the best and the brightest providers are seeing them when they come to Duke.
