Dr. Zachary NaPier
Fellowship-Trained Orthopedic Spine Surgeon

At NaPier Spine, we believe exceptional spine care starts with listening. Every patient deserves a treatment plan built around his or her specific condition, lifestyle, and long-term goals, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Led by fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. Zachary NaPier, our practice combines advanced surgical expertise with the latest evidence-based techniques to provide comprehensive care for everything from common back and neck pain to complex spinal conditions including failed back syndrome. Whether surgery is necessary or not, our focus remains the same: helping patients return to the activities they enjoy with confidence.

After completing his orthopedic surgery residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Dr. NaPier pursued advanced fellowship training through Harvard University, training at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, where he refined expertise in minimally invasive spine surgery, motion preservation, complex spinal reconstruction, and the latest surgical innovations.

Today, Dr. NaPier serves patients throughout Central Indiana with a practice built around individualized care, modern surgical techniques, and exceptional outcomes. Recognized by the North American Spine Society as one of its Top 20 Spine Surgeons Under 40, he is also an active educator, researcher, and speaker, regularly contributing to advances in spine surgery while helping shape the future of the specialty.

Beyond caring for patients, Dr. NaPier has become a trusted resource for employers, workers’ compensation professionals, and referring physicians across Indiana, combining clinical expertise with a collaborative approach that supports safe, timely return-to-work outcomes whenever possible.

Whether treating a routine disc herniation or a complex spinal condition, his philosophy remains the same: every patient deserves a personalized treatment plan built around achieving the best possible long-term outcome.
