Dr. Deb A. Bhowmick

As an orthopaedic specialist and spine surgeon, I am committed to providing the best possible outcome for my patients with the least invasive surgery possible. I treat patients using the latest minimally invasive surgical techniques. Among the conditions I see in my patients are cervical radiculopathy and myelopathy, and traumatic spine injuries. Among the procedures I perform are complex cervical reconstruction, disc replacement surgery, minimally invasive scoliosis surgery, motion preservation spine surgery, and metastatic and tumor surgery.

I am returning to Duke with my wife and four children. We have been living in eastern North Carolina where I have been in private practice doing pediatric and adult spinal surgery for 20 years. I am board certified in both orthopaedics and spinal surgery and was drawn to the specialty after working at a Shriner's hospital during my training. I try to approach each individual patient with a few fundamental goals. I first try to listen to what has brought someone into my office and then provide them with a diagnosis. I focus on options for management  both non-operative as well as surgery. I also hope to engage the patient or family to participate in the  decisions as it relates to the treatment options available to them.

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. Dr. Orndorff is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in Microdiscectomy.
