Overview

I am a neurosurgeon who specializes in spine surgery. I take care of people with conditions affecting the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, including herniated disc, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and adult degenerative scoliosis. I also provide general neurosurgery care. I really enjoy developing a relationship with my patients and their family. I try to tailor my approach and treatment plans to each patient based on their unique goals and needs. Often, nonsurgical options are available to improve the patient’s symptoms. My goal is to help people return to their previous level of functioning and to help people enjoy life again. Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and two children. I also enjoy fishing and running on trails.

I’ve wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a suburb of Washington, DC, came to Duke for medical school in 1998, and have been here ever since. I chose neuroscience as my undergraduate major at Amherst University in MA, and stayed with neurosurgery because I was fascinated with the brain and its functions. I enjoy caring for my patients and seeing someone experience a good outcome that positively changed their life. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife, who is also a doctor, and our two young daughters. I play golf when I can, which is not often, and really enjoy cooking. If I hadn’t chosen neurosurgery for my career, I would have gone to culinary school. Dr. Grossi is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. His top areas of expertise are Hydrocephalus, Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, Congenital Cardiovascular Shunt, Microdiscectomy, and Herniated Disc Surgery.
