Great ride across Iowa with my family ( Team Trouble) July 2015 Ned and Alison with Rich, Julie, Andy and Christine.

The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery is excited to welcome Dr. Ned Amendola to Duke!  Ned (short for Annunziato) is a native of Italy, grew up in Canada, met his wife Alison while in high school in St Catharines, Ontario, and both attended Western University in London Ontario. Alison completed her MBA, and worked as a business analyst for a private company. Ned completed his medical school, residency and was on faculty at Western from 1991 until 2001. During this time, they had 4 beautiful children, Richard, Julie, Andrew and Christine. In 2001, the family moved to Iowa where Ned joined the orthopedic department at Iowa to contribute to building successful sports medicine and foot and ankle programs. Alison also received an MHA and became a hospital administrator. The children are all completing their postgraduate studies at Iowa, and they hope they relocate near here. Ned and Alison both enjoy time with family and friends, community and outdoor activities, exercise, biking and golfing. They are looking forward to a new challenge moving to this area and working at Duke.
