Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
Duke Orthopaedics Of Raleigh
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. Dr. Brown is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in Microdiscectomy. His top areas of expertise are Cervical Myelopathy, Cervical Spondylosis, Spinal Stenosis, Cervical Disc Surgery, and Herniated Disc Surgery.
Duke Orthopaedics Heritage
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. His top areas of expertise are Spinal Stenosis, Spondylolisthesis, Cervical Myelopathy, Cervical Disc Surgery, and Herniated Disc Surgery.
Duke Orthopaedics Of Apex
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.
