M.D., Ph.D..
I believe healing is a journey built on truth, compassion, and tolerance. Perhaps we were family in another lifetime — today, we take this step toward recovery together.
About Me
Vice Chair for Research, Mary M. Stamp Endowed Professor, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery
Director, Orthopaedic Spine Fellowship – University of Virginia
I’m a spine surgeon at UVA, dedicated to helping patients restore motion, balance, and quality of life. I specialize in advanced procedures such as cervical disc replacement, laminoplasty, and complex scoliosis reconstruction.
Alongside my clinical work, I lead a research lab focused on improving spine healing and recovery. My goal is simple — to combine science, skill, and compassion to help each person heal and move forward with strength.
Dr. Li and his PA saw me several times before deciding on a course of action. Possessing an exceptional bedside manner, he’s a great listener and communicator.
Excellent and Caring Surgeon
Dr. Li is the most amazing Dr. I have ever had in my 74 years. He explains every step of your care and answers every question.
Compassionate Provider
Dr Li is excellent. It is good to have a physician who is also a scientist
Dr. Li is a godsend!
