Dr. Dennis A. Turner

I chose to pursue neurosurgery as a career because of my fascination with the human nervous system. In medical school, I developed a keen interest in the diseases that afflict the brain and spine and gravitated towards the only field where I could help treat these diseases with my own hands. I focus on disorders of the spine where my first goal is to help patients avoid surgery if at all possible. If surgery is needed, I treat patients using the most advanced minimally invasive techniques available in order to minimize pain, blood loss, and hospital stay, while maximizing recovery, neurologic function, and quality of life. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am an avid sports fan and love to eat. I try to stay physically fit by going to the gym and playing ice hockey.

I am a hand and upper extremity surgeon specializing in the care of arthritis, nerve conditions, sports injuries, and fractures. I love being a hand surgeon because I get to help people return to the activities they enjoy, be it playing sports, playing an instrument, cooking, or just being free of pain during daily life. My mission is to listen to each patient’s story and together, create a plan that fits their goals. There is no greater reward than helping a patient overcome injury or resolve pain in order to have the life they desire. Duke Health is unique because here, there is no problem too complex for our team to solve.
