Neurosurgeon Dr. William Tobler is retiring June 30 after nearly four decades of practice at Mayfield.
His legacy includes pioneering advances in spine surgery tools and techniques, a host of enhancements for patients, and programs to train the next generation of neurosurgeons through the Mayfield Education & Research Foundation.
Dr. Andrew Ringer, chair of Mayfield’s Board of Directors, says Dr. Tobler “personifies both our distinguished legacy and our ambitious plans for the future.”
Dr. Tobler joined what was then called the Mayfield Neurological Institute in 1985, establishing his practice at The Christ Hospital. He had previously earned his medical degree at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in 1978, completed internships in internal medicine and general surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital, and served a residency in neurosurgery at UC Medical Center and Mayfield starting in 1980.
During his storied career, Dr. Tobler has performed more than 18,000 surgical cases. He also helped train nearly 70 neurosurgery residents and nearly 20 fellows, including many of Mayfield’s current neurosurgeons.
