WashU neurosurgery fellow to join Memorial Hospital Belleville

Bradley Budde, MD, a neurosurgeon specializing in spinal procedures, will join Memorial Hospital Belleville in July 2024.

Budde is currently finishing up his one-year intensive fellowship in the surgical and medical management of peripheral nerve and spinal disorders at Washington University School of Medicine. 

“Dr. Brad Budde is an outstanding and compassionate surgeon,” said Wilson Zachary Ray, MD, Chief of the Division of Spine Surgery. “With his wide range of knowledge of nerve and spinal conditions, Dr. Budde will be able to offer patients a comprehensive treatment plan.”

Budde obtained his undergraduate degree in biology from Illinois State University in 2012 and his medical degree from the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Rockford in 2016. He completed his residency from UTHealth Houston in 2023, including one year as a complex spine fellow.

“As a native of Southern Illinois, I’m thrilled to be returning home,” said Budde. “I’m also very excited to continue WashU’s commitment to providing excellent neurosurgical care across the Metro-East region.”
