I cannot say enough about Dr. Thapar and his team! They all go above and beyond expectations. They are caring and compassionate. Dr. Thapar sits down with you and listens to you! He makes you feel calm and comforted, and explains every step of your treatment plan. He is extremely brilliant and talented and I trust him completely. Thank you all for your kindness and compassion.

The level of expertise, communication, and compassion I received from Dr. Thapar and his staff was and is far beyond any care I have encountered in healthcare. After speaking to several doctors, I confidently chose the Wisconsin Brain and Spine Center from my complicated and life changing back surgery. I cannot thank them enough for their care and compassion.

He is very caring and very stern, I was the naughty one, I did not tell him of all the meds I was on which caused me a seizure, again my fault. He is very caring I felt the love he is almost like a dad when he is deceived, very stern as well as he should be. Any problems I have had I called and got a answer even if I didn't like it. He is also very much a nice guy good bedside manor. Don't hesitate to have him as your surgeon.

Dr. Thapar performed two surgeries on me in the last three weeks, a cervical spine fusion and a lower lumbar laminectomy. He explained things so well, gave me all of the options, quoted statistics if they were available, tried non-surgical treatment first and treated me like an individual. I am so impressed with both he and his two PA's, who are also very involved with patient care. The only down side is that an excellent surgeon like Dr. Thapar has a busy practice, so seeing him is difficult
