I was drawn to neurosurgery during medical school when I first witnessed the unusually direct and positive impacts it could make for patients. At Duke Health, I now provide surgical treatments to people affected by epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia. My background as a surgeon certainly shapes my interactions with my patients, yet I identify them and also myself more as somebody's sibling, friend, neighbor, and daughter or son. I strive to emphasize our shared perspectives because I believe they lead to the foundations of good care: empathy, respect, clear communication, and a strong focus on patient well-being and safety. Dr. Southwell is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). His top areas of expertise are Seizures, Epilepsy, Absence Seizure, Deep Brain Stimulation, and Awake Craniotomy.

I specialize in complex spinal and trauma surgery with a focus on pathology of the craniocervical junction, congenital spinal anomalies in adults, and cervical spinal deformities. I offer the highest quality of surgical care to improve or prevent the worsening of physical function. Whenever possible, I work with my patients to explore the non-surgical management of spinal conditions.
