He is Board Certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, an Active Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, and a member of the Wisconsin Medical Society. His clinical expertise spans a wide range of orthopedic care, including shoulder, hip, and knee replacement, arthroscopic surgery, pediatric orthopedic care, and general orthopedic treatment for bones, joints, and soft tissue.

In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Kuplic serves as a clinical instructor for the Fox Valley Family Medicine Residency Program, where he helps train future physicians.

He is an avid fan of live music shows and finds joy in golfing, boating, and a variety of outdoor activities.

Testimonials

Patient Reviews

Dr. Kuplic has been my orthopedic surgeon for 22 years. During this time I have found him and his staff very compassionate, excellent listeners, and they always reply as quickly as possible when I have questions. During my recent knee replacement surgery, I have been receiving weekly/ daily messages of encouragement. Also notes that keep me on task with Physical Therapy , medication information, and videos offering at home therapy. If in need of Orthopedic help I highly recommend OSI and Dr. Kuplic.

Dr. Kuplic is very thorough and explains everything to you. He really knows how to make a patient feel comfortable about what is happening.

Wonderful orthopedic team at OSI! I had hip replacements in 8 months, and have bounced back better than before! Because of Dr Kuplic and his medical team, and the close integration of Advanced Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine (located in the same building as OSI) I was able to recover in a very short time, and return to Dog Agility training and Agility trials, helping my team mate, Islay, gain two more Agility titles. 5 stars isn’t enough for you guys! I forgot to mention the daily texts I received from Dr. Kuplic’s office that encouraged me and helped me get through recovery.

Care and communication by Dr. Kuplic, Brad and the rest of the team were exceptional. The daily text messages answered my questions and helped me gage my progress. Due to this positive experience, I am ready to have my other knee replaced!
