Rand Voorhies, M.D.

Neurosurgery

Dr. Rand Voorhies is a cofounding member of Southern Brain & Spine in 2006, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Dr. Voorhies graduated with honors from Tulane School of Medicine in 1976 and completed his residency in Neurosurgery at the Weill-Cornell campus of the New York Presbyterian Medical Center in 1982. In 1983, he did a research fellowship on brain tumors at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. For the last four decades, Dr. Voorhies has practiced Neurosurgery here in New Orleans, including almost 23 years at Ochsner Foundation Clinic, with the last 10 of those years as the Chairman of Neurosurgery, which included teaching and research.

Since then, Dr. Voorhies has focused on providing individual patient care in a private practice setting with his emphasis on the evaluation of patients with spine problems through diagnosis, conservative treatment, and potential surgical options, including minimally invasive techniques when appropriate. Dr. Voorhies is pleased to be working with other highly skilled healthcare professionals, some of whom can offer alternative surgical as well as nonsurgical options. He is also privileged to collaborate with our outstanding mid-level providers, which greatly augment informed patient communication with individual care and attention.
