Biography

Dr. Bradley Weprin is an accomplished pediatric neurosurgeon and program administrator. He has a successful record of managing pediatric neurosurgical services that deliver excellence in care, patient experience, and academic pursuits. The primary focus of his career has been in the delivery of the best medical care. As director of neurosurgery at Children’s Health℠, he manages the mission of providing the highest quality care through the strategic use of advanced technology and surgical procedures, analysis of outcomes, and teamwork. The division is one of the busiest pediatric neurosurgical practices in North America, often drawing patients from around the world. One of the most complex cases managed by Dr. Weprin and his team was the separation of 2-year-old twins who were conjoined at the head. The separation involved a 34-hour operation and months-long follow-up period.

Because he treats deformities, injuries and pediatric trauma involving the brain, spine or peripheral nerves, parents often think the worst when they receive a referral for a pediatric neurological surgery evaluation. However, helping parents and their children deal with that fear is one of the most satisfying aspects of Dr. Weprin’s career. He is passionate about eliminating barriers to care, addressing the social determinants of health in pediatric neurosurgical care, and improving delivery of high quality and specialized pediatric health care. He still boasts, however, that his greatest accomplishment has been as a father to his two young adult children.

Dr. Weprin earned his medical degree from UT Southwestern Medical Center. He completed his internship and residency at the University of Minnesota Hospital and Clinic and his fellowship in pediatric neurosurgery at Children’s Hospital of Alabama. He completed his Masters of Health Care Management (medical MBA) at Harvard in 2021. He is certified by the American Board of Neurological Surgery and the American Board of Pediatric Neurosurgery. He is on the Executive Committee of the American Society of Pediatric Neurosurgery and is a member the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, AANS/CNS Joint Section of Pediatric Neurosurgery and the American Association of Sports Medicine.

Outside of his practice, Dr. Weprin enjoys watching his children in their sports activities, as well as running and training for marathons, half marathons and 200-mile relays.
