Dr. Branko Prpa MEDICAL EXCELLENCE
SPINE SURGERY
After coming over from Serbia at 6 months of age, my family settled in Gary, Indiana where my father was employed as a steel mill worker. Throughout my elementary and high school years I excelled in athletics and academics. After witnessing and personally experiencing many sports related injuries, I knew I wanted to become an orthopedic surgeon. After graduating as the valedictorian from high school, I received a full academic scholarship to DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, where my interest in science and medicine further solidified my desire to become a medical doctor. Following my undergraduate degree, I continued my training at the Mayo School of Medicine, where I also did my orthopedic surgery residency. During my residency, I developed a strong interest in spinal surgery. To further my specialized training, I did a joint neurosurgical and orthopedic spinal surgery fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic. My fellowship focused on complex reconstructive spinal surgery and complex spinal instrumentation. The unique aspect of my fellowship was that I received training from both neurosurgical and orthopedic fellowship trained spinal surgeons. During my fellowship, I received highly specialized training in treating complex spinal deformities including adult and pediatric scoliosis, flat back deformity, and high-grade spondylolisthesis. Today, I am in private practice in Milwaukee, Kenosha and Waukesha, Wisconsin. I specialize in work related injuries of the spine, complex reconstruction, revision spinal surgery, and failed back surgery syndrome. I have expertise in minimally invasive spine surgery, fusion, and arthroplasty techniques. I currently hold privileges at Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center in Milwaukee and St. Catherine’s Medical Center in Pleasant Prairie. If you are in the area and are suffering from chronic pain related to any spinal pathology, please do not hesitate to call the Dr. Branko Prpa Spine Institute for a spinal consultation.

Established in 2003, his rapidly growing practice is known for its patient-based focus and cutting edge skill. Specializing in complicated issues of the brain and spine, Dr Dagam’s outcomes have been consistently successful over the last ten years. “As a chemistry undergrad, I suddenly realized I didn’t want to spend my career conducting experiments and writing reports. I chose medicine because it combined my lifelong interest in science with my desire to help others. In medical school, I found myself intrigued by the human brain, and something really clicked with me during my neurosurgical rotation.” “Today, I love what I do. I feel fortunate to have trained in a neurosurgical residency program that is consistently ranked numberone in the nation. In my efforts to benefit people’s lives, it’s important for me to have the skills to help them with the problems that seem insurmountable. This is why I am grateful for my training, and it’s why I strive to provide leading-edge care.” “Yet, for me, skill is only part of the equation. In my practice, patients are the entire focus. They deserve my commitment to their needs and outcomes, and they deserve compassion. In fact, compassion is what drives me to offer the kind of individualized, comprehensive and advanced care I would want for my own family members.” -Shekhar A. Dagam, M.D.

THE TRUE ESSENCE OF BEAUTY BEGINS WITH RELATIONSHIPS WHAT DO YOU FIND IS THE MAIN REASON PEOPLE SEEK COSMETIC SURGERY?
Patients seek cosmetic surgery when they feel their external appearance does not match their internal sense of self. That dichotomy creates a disconnect that can inhibit confidence and selfworth, creating a poor relationship with ourselves. As we age, we can’t prevent external changes from occurring. My patients wish the mirror would reflect the youthfulness, life and vigor they feel on the inside. At Quintessa, we can do that. We help patients renew that connection with themselves by rejuvenating their appearance. Then, they can have better relationships with others, which is what life is all about. THE MEDIA HAS CREATED SO MANY DEFINITIONS OF “BEAUTIFUL.” HOW DO YOU DEFINE BEAUTY?
The true essence of beauty begins with relationships. As a facial plastic surgeon, I understand that a positive, confident self-image delivers better overall relationships with the people we care most about. Don’t let nature and the process of aging stop you from feeling great about yourself. You’re worth it.
Our motivation is seeing people walk out of our office feeling great about themselves and their daily lives.

“As I aged my reflection no longer reflected my true inner spirit. That’s when I decided to make a change. As a result, I feel beautiful both inside and out.” –BETH B. ACTUAL QUINTESSA PATIENT
With a combination of techniques and medical-grade skin care, we help to preserve youth, rejuvenate what once was and then maintain fantastic results. We can achieve this with non-invasive treatments, such as Botox, wrinkle fillers, lasers and chemical peels or comprehensive rejuvenation procedures, such as a face- or neck-lift. Our patients can rest assured they’re receiving the safest and most effective treatments, as we’re often the first in the country to offer the latest in emerging trends and technology. Most importantly, we see ourselves as your beauty partner. We understand trusting us with your appearance is a big deal, and we go out of our way to ensure you have a wonderful experience. We offer complete sincerity and commitment, honest and thoughtful support, with no judgement. We love being invited into your stories and providing results worth celebrating!
PATIENT BETH B.’S QUESTIONS: What made you trust Quintessa? After doing extensive research on reconstructive neck and facial surgery, Dr. Campbell’s name was at the top of my list. Having cosmetic surgery is a huge personal decision for anyone to make, but after meeting with Dr. Campbell and the staff at Quintessa, I felt confident to move forward in the process of rejuvenating my appearance.

What has Quintessa done for your relationship with yourself? As I aged, my reflection no longer reflected my true inner spirit. I became insecure, uncomfortable and camera shy during social situations. That is when I decided to make a change. Dr. Campbell gave me the gift of looking younger and feeling more confident in my appearance. As a result, I feel beautiful both inside and out.
What has Quintessa done for your relationship with others? Since my surgery, I welcome photos so that my children, family and friends can again see my fun-loving, free-spirited nature. I am now more comfortable in social situations. I put my trust in Dr. Campbell and the Quintessa staff, and I am pleased with my results and the decision I made!
