Gazanfar Rahmathulla, M.B.B.S., M.D.

I am excited to be providing neurosurgical care to the patients of Mayo Clinic Health System in Northwest Wisconsin. I like being part of an exceptional team of physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers and allied health care providers, all of whom are dedicated to the single philosophy of the patient always coming first.

I provide a holistic team-based approach which uses medical, surgical options and expertise of my health care partners to treat patient's neurosurgical disease in an optimal manner. My area of practice incudes the surgical treatment of spinal disease, certain types of tumors and general neurosurgical disorders.

I enjoy spending time with my family and being part of the community. Traveling locally, hiking and cycling are other activities I enjoy.
