Dr. Yaw D. Boachie
Overview
I have expertise in hand and wrist disorders, rotator cuff repair, shoulder replacement, and elbow pathology. I am one of a handful of upper extremity surgeons nationwide to have completed dual clinical fellowships in hand, shoulder, and elbow. Given this comprehensive training and background, I feel especially qualified to synthesize and treat complex upper extremity problems. I am dedicated to the delivery of state-of-the-art, yet scientifically-backed, surgical and medical treatment. As a practitioner, my goals are always to listen to my patients, understand them, educate them, and come up with effective treatment they are comfortable with and understand. This may be surgical or non-surgical but is always tailored to their goals and lifestyles. I believe in the philosophy that “health is wealth”. Personally, I try to live this through running, cycling, and enjoying the outdoors. My family also energizes me and gives me joy. I try to offer this same philosophy to my patients, and consider it a blessing to have the opportunity to care for them each day.

Duke Spine Center - Clinic 1B/1C
Throughout my medical career, I have remained dedicated to improving my patients' quality of life. As a specialist in adult cervical and spinal deformity surgery, I understand the significant impact our interventions have on individuals suffering from debilitating pain and physical and mental health challenges. Spinal deformity surgery merges the complexities of spinal biomechanics with the needs of an aging population. My research focuses on spinal alignment, biomechanics, innovative surgical techniques, and health economics to ensure value-based care that enhances patient outcomes. Dr. Passias is highly rated in 23 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Kyphosis, Lordosis, Scoliosis, Osteotomy, and Spinal Fusion.
Duke Ambulatory Surgery Center Arringdon
I grew up in Durham and I am extremely proud to work here at Duke. All of my family members still call the Bull City home. Most of my education was completed in Durham, except for four years I spent down the road in Chapel Hill. I played football there and developed an interest in orthopaedic surgery that led me home. I specialize in hip and knee replacement and am very fortunate to do so. We have the ability to help so many people with these operations. It is extremely rewarding to help someone get back to doing the things they want to do with their life. Duke is the kind of place where you are challenged by the most difficult cases weekly and I appreciate that fact. We have great doctors in every field and we work as a team on every aspect of a patient's care once they enter the hospital. Dr. Bolognesi is highly rated in 7 conditions, according to our data.
