William Copeland, M.D.

My wife and I grew up in Arkansas where I attended medical school before we moved to Rochester, Minnesota, for my neurosurgery training at Mayo Clinic. We thought coming to the Midwest was a big cross-cultural move. Little did we know that after I finished my training, our family would relocate to Kenya, East Africa, where I work at Tenwek Hospital as a neurosurgeon and program director of the Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons Neurosurgery Residency Program.

During our time stateside, I'm honored to again be part of the Neurosurgery team. It is a one-of-a-kind, world-class department. My specialty training and main clinical interest is complex cranial pathology, though my practice encompasses a wide variety of spinal disorders as well. My hope is that you will find me candid, compassionate and competent as I seek to serve you in your time of need.
