Noah Thompson Orfield, MD, PhD

Vanderbilt University School of Medicine

Diagnostic Radiology

Hello, my name is Noah Thompson Orfield. I am originally from Southwest Virginia. I did my undergraduate degree at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, then a PhD in Physical Chemistry at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. After a postdoc at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, I decided to change career directions and went to medical school at Vanderbilt University. I really wanted to return home to Virginia for residency, and my mentors highly recommended UVA because of the excellent quality of training and the unbeatable location in Charlottesville.

My wife Rachel and I just welcomed our first child, Simon, to the family. We are excited to explore the hiking trails with him and our dog Bubble.
