Biography

Dean W. Ziegler, M.D.

Shoulder & Elbow Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr. Ziegler is fellowship-trained, specializing in the effective and efficient evaluation and management of shoulder and elbow disorders. This includes arthroscopy, total shoulder and elbow replacement, and the diagnostic and interventional use of in-office ultrasound (maximizing patient convenience and comfort).

I was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin. I have enjoyed all aspects of our state but have been lucky enough to travel and live elsewhere. I feel privileged to have returned the state in 1995, living here and raising my family since that time. I continue to enjoy outdoor activities throughout the state and beyond. I am also an avid Badger and Packer fan.
