Stefano M. Sinicropi

Dr. Stefano M. Sinicropi, M.D., F.A.A.O.S. is a distinguished board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon and the President and CEO of Midwest Spine & Brain Institute in Minnesota. He completed his medical degree and residency at Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons, followed by a renowned Leatherman Spine Fellowship at the University of Louisville.

Since joining the Institute in 2006, Dr. Sinicropi has built one of the Midwest’s most sought-after practices, performing over 10,000 spinal surgeries—ranging from minimally invasive decompressions and spinal fusions to motion-preserving disc replacements. He’s widely recognized for his patient-focused approach, personalized treatment strategies, and a philosophy rooted in “real answers” for even the most complex diagnoses.

Beyond the operating room, Dr. Sinicropi has observed a broader health crisis: a surge of chronic disease, metabolic dysfunction, and overmedication. This insight sparked his passion for wellness and prevention, laying the foundation for his book, Wellness at the Speed of Light. With his rare blend of surgical mastery and wellness advocacy, he bridges traditional medicine and holistic care to inspire and empower individuals toward lasting vitality.
