Operating Room

"Duke Raleigh has been a tremendous part of my life for the last eighteen years. This where I began my career as an orthopaedic operating room nurse and have honed my skills through the mentorship of both staff and physicians. Orthopaedics is a constantly evolving specialty, and our dedicated group of nurses and surgical technicians continuously learn more about the latest treatment options. We love what we do, and are proud of how we do it."

Rob Wiese, MPT, CSCS

Outpatient Rehabilitation

"I believe that the people you surround yourself with will either make you better or worse. My co-workers at Duke Raleigh are talented, compassionate and positive people and definitely make me better. Furthermore, orthopaedics is my passion. I thoroughly enjoy helping people return to the activities that they enjoy and that make their lives more fulfilling. This activity might be as basic as carrying their grandchild or as challenging as running a marathon. Either way, it is important to them and important to me."

Janet Prince, RN
