Bradley R. Kwapiszeski, M.D.

Dr. Bradley Kwapiszeski, or Dr. K. as his patients call him, is a board-certified ophthalmologist. He graduated summa cum laude from Creighton University before moving on to the University of Kansas to complete his medical degree where he was one of the top three in his class. He was proud to have been elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society during this time. From there, he studied the specialization of ophthalmology at Loyola University Chicago. His passion for state-of-the-art technology and techniques led him to be an instrumental component of bringing topical, clear corneal cataract surgery to the residency program. During his final year of residency, he was awarded the Water Wood Award and was named "resident of the year."

Some of Dr. Kwapiszeski's other accomplishments include being the primary investigator for over 40 clinical trials, being the first cataract surgeon at Shawnee Mission Medical Center to perform topical, clear corneal, no-stitch cataract surgery on a regular basis, and his experiences on mission trips to Abak, Nigera, and Haiti to perform cataract surgery on blind patients.
