Dr. Douglas G. Orndorff
Overview
I believe patients play a crucial role in their spine health and outcomes. I enjoy educating them about their conditions and involving them in decision-making. I prioritize non-surgical treatments and, when necessary, opt for the least invasive surgical options. My personal experience with back pain gives me great empathy for those with spine conditions. I appreciate the field's ongoing research and technological advancements. Before joining Duke Health, I practiced in a rural Colorado mountain town, becoming proficient in treating all adult spine conditions. In my free time, I enjoy golf, fishing, skiing, wine, and spending time with my family.

I am a neurosurgeon and researcher who focuses on surgical solutions for movement disorders and pain due to cancer, prior nerve injury, stroke, failed back surgery, limb amputation, trigeminal neuralgia and other causes. I have always been fascinated by how the brain and spinal cord works, converting a thought in your mind to a physical action or feeling. As a neurosurgeon, I get to treat people who have problems with this process. Every day, I get to help patients make dramatic improvements in their quality of life, which is greatly rewarding. At Duke, we’re lucky to have access to the latest technologies and world-class research. Our technology allows us to perform surgeries in the least invasive, most precise ways possible.
