Kamal Thapar, MD, PhD

REFERRAL REQUIRED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT

Widely respected by patients, their families, and their doctors, Dr. Thapar has served the region for more than a decade. He maintains one of the largest private neurosurgical practices in Wisconsin and provides a full spectrum of advanced neurosurgical care.

Specializing in minimally invasive and reconstruction spine surgery, brain tumor surgery, pituitary tumor surgery, and skull base surgery, Dr. Thapar and his team strive to provide a level of care that is second to none for one fundamental reason: because you are second to none. 

When searching for a neurosurgeon to whom you will entrust your care, there are several important qualities that you should specifically seek in your surgeon. These include advanced training, knowledge and peer recognition, mastery and experience with the most current and advanced surgical techniques, and authenticity and general patient concern.
