Dr. Joshua Wind is a specialty care physician board certified in neurological surgery. He joined Inova in 2024 with over 18 years of clinical experience. He has clinical expertise and special interest in minimally invasive spine surgery, motion-preserving spine surgery (such as disk replacement), endoscopic pituitary tumor surgery, as well as surgical and nonsurgical treatments for brain and spine tumors, spine disorders, and neck problems.
Prior to joining Inova, Dr. Wind practiced in Washington, DC, for 11 years. He served as an Associate Clinical Professor of Neurosurgery at George Washington University Hospital and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. He also served as the Chief of the Division of Neurosurgery at Sibley Memorial Hospital and was appointed by DC Mayor Muriel Bowser as a member of the DC Board of Medicine from 2017 to 2021.
Dr. Wind graduated cum laude and Alpha Omega Alpha from Loyola University Chicago – Stritch School of Medicine. He then completed his internship and neurosurgical residency at George Washington University Hospital. This training included a fellowship at the National Institutes of Health, where he received specialized training in pituitary tumors and neuro-oncology.
Dr. Wind strives to always place the patient first and to seek out the most conservative and least invasive options for each individual patient. Using conservative care and minimally invasive techniques, he seeks out options that have the best chance of achieving individual patient goals while minimizing the negative impacts from traditional open surgeries. This results in shorter hospital stays, faster recoveries and patients getting back to their lives sooner.
Dr. Wind has presented research in regional and national meetings and has over 30 peer-reviewed publications. He has been a principal investigator in several multicenter clinical trials regarding spine surgery including as a site of the recently FDA-approved TOPS procedure as a motion-preserving alternative to spinal fusion.
Dr. Wind has been selected as a Top Doctor by Northern Virginia Magazine, Castle Connolly, Bethesda Magazine, Washington Consumers’ Checkbook, and Washingtonian (annually since 2015). He is a member of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, a Fellow of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
