I’ve practiced interventional pain and musculoskeletal medicine for the past 20 years, and re-joined Duke in 2010 to build a program that sheds new light onto the treatments for nerve and arthritis pain. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with many talented clinicians and researchers in the United States and Europe, allowing us to build a program in the Center for Translational Pain Medicine that moves beyond traditional pain medications and avoids many of their risks and complications. Our treatments center around the application of regenerative therapies that promote the active resolution of inflammation and pain for several arthritic conditions. I find it extremely rewarding to watch patients progress during their treatment course and meet their goals. I’m currently the Division Chief for Pain Medicine, a member of Duke’s Center for Translational Pain Medicine, Director of Regenerative Pain Therapies, and serve on the Editorial Board of Pain Medicine. Dr. Buchheit is highly rated in 4 conditions, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Phantom Limb Pain, Chronic Pain, Acute Pain, and Neuralgia.

I am an interventional pain physician with a focus on using procedural techniques to decrease pain and the need for medications. My main area of interest is a type of pain therapy called neurostimulation. Neurostimulation uses electrical signals delivered to the nervous system to treat a wide array of chronic pain conditions. There are many ways to apply this treatment including spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, and dorsal root ganglion stimulation. The improvements I have seen in patients using stimulation therapy allow for long term satisfaction. I hope to continue to expand use of this exciting therapy to improve the quality of life of my patients. Dr. Roy is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data. His top areas of expertise are Facet Joint Syndrome and Phantom Limb Pain.

I was drawn to medicine at an early age and have always been fascinated with the blending of science and the humanities with the direct care of patients. I enjoy getting to know my patients as individuals, and their personal goals of treatment. I believe in using a broad spectrum of treatment options including procedural and non procedural options to provide comprehensive care. I am particularly interested in interventional pain management including ultrasound guided procedures, spine injections, and neuromodulation including spinal cord stimulation. I am very happy to be a part of Duke, working closely with excellent surgeons, neurologists, and nursing staff in order to provide the best care possible for my patients. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my wife and children. I like to travel and am an avid reader of history and biographies. His top areas of expertise are Cervical Spondylosis, Neuralgia, Klippel-Feil Syndrome, and Frontonasal Dysplasia Klippel Feil Syndrome.

Thienkim Walters is a Pain Medicine provider in Durham, North Carolina. Her top areas of expertise are Phantom Limb Pain, Sacroiliac Joint Disease, and Opioid Induced Constipation.

I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of CSF leaks and pain management related to the spine. These treatments are all performed with a excellent team of neuroradiologists and under the precision of CT fluoroscopic guidance. They include: blood/fibrin sealant dural patch, biopsy, lumbar puncture, myelogram, lumbar drain, epidural, transforaminal and facet joint steroid injections. My training and original career was in surgery and I have had the opportunity to apply those skills to our current practice. I enjoy direct and hands on patient contact. I think it's paramount to create a sense of trust and confidence in my patients regarding the medical care they are getting. My goal is to provide a good bedside manner, to give my patients the best possible treatment and to be as honest and informative as I can, regarding all aspects of their care.
