Dr. Richard D. Duncan
Overview
I am a physician in obstetrics and gynecology. As far as OB-GYN, I like the variety of being able to help someone throughout their life and spending time with them in the office, seeing them in the hospital for childbirth or surgery. My favorite part of the work is the variety of patients I get to see every day and how I can help each one of them, always in a different way. I want patients to feel comfortable at our office and know that they are going to get quality and personal care. Someone would choose a Duke-affiliated practice to have access to all of the incredible resources and research we offer. Outside of work, I enjoy long-distance running and spending time with my family.

Additional Areas of Focus
Dr. Duncan has provided the following conditions as areas of focus. Please note that we may not have enough data to validate their experience in some of these conditions.
Duke Ambulatory Surgery Center
I have chosen to direct my efforts as a physician toward improving the quality of life for women who are dealing with pelvic floor disorders. I focus on listening to a patient's description of her symptoms and their impact on her, her goals for treatment, and – by using evidence-based techniques– I evaluate her condition. Treatment options might vary from patient to patient; the best way to proceed is often an individualized decision. I am pleased to have been a member of the Duke faculty since 1996. Our division is nationally recognized as offering the best possible urogynecologic care with a full range of approaches to suit any patient. Dr. Weidner is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Uterine Prolapse. Her top areas of expertise are Uterine Prolapse, Stress Urinary Incontinence, Urinary Incontinence, Hysterectomy, and Oophorectomy.
Duke Raleigh Hospital
I am in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and a sub-specialist in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. I take care of women with pelvic floor disorders. That includes women who suffer from disorders related to childbirth and disorders resulting from aging of the pelvic floor including pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence and bowel leakage. My father was an academic obstetrician and gynecologist and through my life that served as a role model for me. As I got older I became more exposed to others in the field of OBGYN and enjoyed being around them. I was fascinated by the conditions that span from childbirth to the end of a woman's life. I enjoy helping treat conditions that may be embarrassing and not typically discussed at the dinner table. Women tend to defer their own care in favor of their family members while suffering from these conditions of quality of life despite adequate treatment options. Dr. Eric is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Uterine Prolapse. His top areas of expertise are Uterine Prolapse, Frequent or Urgent Urination, Stress Urinary Incontinence, Hysterectomy, and Sacral Nerve Stimulation.
Duke Raleigh Hospital
I decided to become an obstetrician/gynecologist because I loved delivering babies, however, after seeing how treatment of pelvic floor disorders changed women’s lives I decided to specialize in urogynecology. I have been fortunate to be involved in research that has made a real difference in the lives of my patients. As part of my commitment to share the knowledge gained with other doctors, I have published several papers in national medical journals. As president of the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) in 2013, I participated in the development of many national programs to improve the lives of women with bladder leakage and vaginal prolapse. My main clinical interest includes performing robotic sacrocolpopexy, a highly successful, minimally invasive treatment for patients with advanced pelvic organ prolapse. I also offer Botox injections for overactive bladder, vaginal prolapse surgeries (with and without mesh) and care for patients with uterine fibroids, mesh complications and vaginal fistulas.
