Overview

I am a plastic surgeon specializing in general reconstructive surgery and complex wound healing. I have particular interests in back reconstruction and peripheral nerve surgery to prevent and treat chronic pain in amputees. I believe that every patient and every problem is unique and that no health issue can be treated in isolation. I focus on a patient-centered approach, and I understand the importance of considering the multitude of influences from a patient’s body, environment, and lifestyle as they relate to a particular surgical solution. I am fortunate to practice at a world-class medical center such as Duke Health where I can utilize the full spectrum of modern plastic surgical techniques in my practice. I am dedicated to the well-being of my patients, and I strive to ensure that they are provided the very best care possible.

I am a hand and reconstructive surgeon who treats all conditions of the hand, wrist, and forearm and performs nerve and soft tissue reconstructive procedures all over the body. I have a particular interest in conditions causing poor blood flow to the hands and reconstruction of traumatic upper and lower extremity injuries. I trained as an engineer and try to be analytical and thorough in my approach, but I truly cherish most the personal engagement and interaction I have with my patients. During my medical training, I enjoyed learning about the complexities of the form and function of the hand, so I decided to focus my practice in this area. My father was a family medicine doctor and I have always felt that being a doctor is one of the highest callings. Dr. Mithani is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Phantom Limb Pain. His top areas of expertise are Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Rhizarthrosis, Trigger Thumb, Osteotomy, and Fasciotomy.
