Zachary NaPier, MD
Dr. NaPier is a Harvard Fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon. He specializes in minimally invasive and motion-preserving surgical techniques that create less post-operative pain, decreased soft tissue injury and blood loss, and faster recovery times. He is also skilled in complex reconstruction of spinal deformities, degenerative conditions, and failed back syndrome. His practice involves comprehensive clinical and surgical care of adult and adolescent patients.
An avid researcher, Dr. NaPier has authored numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals, textbook chapters, and presentations at national and international meetings and has served as a primary or co-investigator on several projects that have been awarded grants from organizations including the Cervical Spine Research Society and Scoliosis Research Society.
“My goal is to evaluate your condition, relieve your pain, and restore your function using the most effective, minimally invasive techniques available,” said Dr. NaPier. “I will help you to understand your back or neck symptoms and treatment options so that you can make informed decisions regarding your treatment.”
“I am honored by the trust you place in me and my recommendations for your care will be the same that I would make for a member of my own family.”
