I strive to provide my patients with excellent surgical results and outcomes but above all to have the patient feel safe, respected, and educated throughout the surgical process. I believe this requires expert surgical counseling regarding surgical and non-surgical options available and a tailored treatment plan to the patient's needs, expectations, and associated medical problems.

About

My passion is the science and clinical practice of bariatric surgery for both adolescents and adults.  I received my medical training at the Ohio State University and completed general surgery residency at Northwestern Memorial Hospital/Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.  I then completed a fellowship in Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery at the University of Nebraska.  I have a PhD in Pathobiology and Molecular Medicine with a particular interest in the hormonal changes induced after bariatric surgery that are responsible not only for sustained weight loss but also improve multiple medical problems, including type 2 diabetes.

Dr. Tammy Kindel is a wonderful caring doctor.
The PA, and especially the physician, Tammy Kindel MD, were thorough, compassionate and competent in my experience.
Dr. Kindel and the other staff were great. Dr. Kindel provided me with answers that no one in the past was able to or didn't bother enough to answer. She explained my condition, ailment and solutions with the knowledge and empathy that she knew exactly what I was experiencing. I was beside myself because finally someone understood what I was living and dealing with and she provided a cause and a way to solve It. She provided facts and risks Involved with the solution. I am so happy that I reached out and with all of the Froedtert staff that led me to Dr. Tammy Kindel. I am further looking forward to getting healthier under the direction she sets forth and her care that I'm certain will have the understanding, empathy and expertise I learned that Dr. Kindel provides her patients. I would definitely recommend a consult with Dr. Kindel to anyone that is considering bariatric surgery.
Dr Kindel is an excellent surgeon and a super person
