Brian D. Sindelar, MD

I am a board-certified neurosurgeon at Duke Raleigh Hospital, providing comprehensive brain and spine care to patients throughout Raleigh and Wake County. My practice encompasses cranial and spinal neurosurgery, including minimally invasive, endoscopic, robotic-assisted, and open procedures. I have particular interests in degenerative spine disease, cervical and lumbar spinal stenosis, cervical myelopathy, spinal cord compression, brain and spinal tumors, metastatic disease, meningiomas, and trigeminal neuralgia. I joined Duke Raleigh after completing my service as an active-duty neurosurgeon in the U.S. Army. During my military career, I had the privilege to care for service members and their families in deployed environments and major military medical centers, while also working in academic neurosurgical settings. This experience shaped my commitment to caring for patients with complex neurological conditions. I believe treatment should be individualized to each patient’s diagnosis, goals, and unique circumstances. My goal is to combine advanced surgical techniques with compassionate care to preserve neurological function, improve quality of life, and achieve the best possible outcome for every patient.
