Mihir Gupta

Mihir Gupta, MD, is an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at Yale School of Medicine. As a fellowship-trained spine surgeon with dual expertise in neurosurgery and orthopedics, he performs both traditional and minimally invasive procedures for complex spinal disorders including degenerative conditions, deformities, tumors, infections, and trauma-related issues. Dr. Gupta also specializes in revision spine surgeries for patients with persistent or new problems following previous operations.

Dr. Gupta's educational background includes a BA from Harvard College, an MD from Stanford University School of Medicine, neurosurgical residency at the University of California San Diego, postdoctoral studies at Harvard Medical School, and an orthopedic spine surgery fellowship at Johns Hopkins University. His clinical philosophy emphasizes understanding each patient's unique story through thorough evaluation and physical examination before developing personalized treatment plans.

His research interests focus on understanding how genetics contribute to different spinal disorders and how care can be personalized. Dr. Gupta's publications demonstrate expertise across multiple domains including brain tumor diagnostics (particularly CNS lymphoma and glioblastoma), spine surgery outcomes, gender diversity in academic medicine, and neuroimmunology. His work often bridges clinical practice with molecular diagnostics, emphasizing rapid testing methods that accelerate treatment decisions for brain tumor patients.

Dr. Gupta collaborates extensively with multidisciplinary teams including physical therapists, pain management specialists, anesthesiologists, and interventional radiologists to develop comprehensive treatment approaches. He emphasizes that surgery is often the last resort, prioritizing nonsurgical options when appropriate. His clinical work at Yale Medicine focuses on highly personalized spine procedures using advanced robotics, navigation, and minimally invasive techniques to tailor solutions for individual patients.
