About Sharad Rajpal, MD

Sharad Rajpal, MD, approaches patient care with advanced, high-quality and personalized care for each of his patients. For Dr. Rajpal, he believes that high-quality care is treating patients and their families with dignity and the respect they deserve while using cutting-edge technologies to treat their neurosurgical conditions. He determines the treatment approach, whether operative or non-operative, after thoughtful consideration of the patient as an individual. Even though two patients may have exactly the same diagnosis, they may require, or even desire, completely different interventions. By providing information, advice, and answers to any questions or concerns patients may have, Dr. Rajpal helps patients navigate their entire care process, from their initial consultation to the end of their treatment.  He takes pride in his patients care and outcomes and believes that this approach to patient care is what sets him apart from other physicians.

Dr. Rajpal received his Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry and Psychology from St. Olaf College in Minnesota. He then earned his Medical Degree from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, where he remained and completed his Neurosurgery residency training. Dr. Rajpal went on to complete additional training in a combined Orthopedic and Neurosurgery Spine Fellowship Program at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic.

As a fellowship-trained, board-certified Neurosurgeon specializing in spinal disorders, Dr. Rajpal enjoys teaching, learning, and sharing his expertise. Serving in the capacity of Chairman or Instructor, he has taught over 50 spine courses to more than 800 medical professionals and 1800 spine surgeons worldwide.  He participates in research studies and has authored numerous peer-reviewed articles and book chapters in the field of neurosurgery. Dr. Rajpal is an advocate for innovative approaches to spine surgery and works with industry leaders to develop cutting-edge technologies in both advanced robotics and image-guided spine surgery. Dr. Rajpal also serves on several hospital executive committees and is committed to improving the delivery of high-quality, cost-effective health care to the community.

When not engaging in neurosurgical pursuits, Dr. Rajpal enjoys playing tennis, hiking, snowshoeing, traveling, and spending time with his family and friends.
