Biography:
Joseph Sramek, MD, is a board-certified neurosurgeon with more than 25 years of experience caring for patients with conditions affecting the brain, spine and nervous system. He earned his medical degree from Rush Medical College in Chicago and completed his neurosurgical residency at Rush Presbyterian–St. Luke’s Medical Center.
Dr. Sramek has practiced in both Montana and Wyoming, providing comprehensive cranial, spine, trauma and peripheral nerve care. He performed Wyoming’s first deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure in the early 2000s and has continued to advance neurosurgical care throughout his career. He has served in multiple leadership roles, including past president of the Rocky Mountain Neurosurgical Society and chairman of the Department of Surgery at Logan Health in Kalispell.
At Bozeman Health, Dr. Sramek provides a full range of neurosurgical services. He is committed to expanding access to high-quality neurosurgical and spine care for patients across southwest Montana.
Outside of work, Dr. Sramek enjoys hiking, skiing, cooking, traveling and spending time with his wife, Deanne, their two adult children and their dogs.
Philosophy of Care
“My approach to neurosurgical care begins with listening and education. I want patients to fully understand their diagnosis and the full range of treatment options—from non-surgical therapies to surgical solutions—so they can make informed decisions that reflect their goals. I believe in being transparent about what I can and cannot treat and will make appropriate referrals when another specialist is the best fit. In spine care especially, it’s essential to identify the true source of pain before considering surgery. This may require additional imaging, diagnostic studies or targeted injections to guide the most effective plan.
Whenever possible, I support non-surgical care, because many degenerative spine conditions improve with physical therapy, strengthening and noninvasive treatments. My goal is to build a neurosurgical program that offers exceptional, patient-centered care for our community.”
