Anthony Rivera, MD, has been named assistant professor in the Duke Department of Neurosurgery, Spine Division, effective May 15, 2023.
A physiatrist, Rivera specializes in treating back pain non-surgically.
“Some of the advanced techniques that I utilize include spine injections, image guided procedures and Botox for pain relief,” he says. “Pain is very variable and affects people in different ways. I like to get to know my patients well – so I can make sure they are receiving the treatment that’s best for them.”
He earned his medical degree from Northwestern University and is certified by the American Board of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.
His practice is located at Duke Ambulatory Surgery Center Arringdon in Morrisville.
