Douglas George Orndorff

Instructor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery
Orthopaedic Surgery

Overview


I have over 15 years of experience in private practice spine care, primarily in a small rural town serving a large geographical area. Being one of the few spine surgeons for such a large area allowed me to become adept at recognizing and treating virtually all adult spinal conditions. My goal is to maximize non-surgical options first, with the goal of getting my patients back to the activities they love as fully as possible. I have partnered with top spine companies in the field to develop multiple cutting edge products that are now being used in spine surgeries worldwide. I am particularly interested in motion preservation surgery, improving fusion outcomes, and spine navigation. My treatment philosophy is to engage patients in their own spine health care, working together to tailor the best possible course of action for their individual needs and lifestyle.
