He's ranked by Expertscape as one of the top five spine surgeons and spinal oncology clinicians in the world and has been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for many years. In addition to his medical degree, he holds a Master of Business Administration from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. He completed his residency in neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital and two complex spine fellowships at Johns Hopkins University and Shriners Hospital in Philadelphia, PA.Today, his clinical focus includes neurosurgery and spine surgery, but extends to rare cancers and tumors of the spine as well. Dr. Sciubba is one of the few surgeons in the world who perform life-saving "en bloc" surgeries, which patients come from all over the country to receive. "When a patient can get married, see their child graduate, or have another birthday-that's important to me."A widely recognized researcher, Dr. Sciubba literally "wrote the book" on spine tumor surgery-it's called Spinal Tumor Surgery: A Case-Based Approach, and it's the cornerstone of technical expertise in today's current field. He also wrote Chordoma of the Spine: A Comprehensive Review, which details a rare cancer he's uniquely qualified to treat.When it comes to his approach to care, Dr. Sciubba's expertise is strengthened by his team. He works alongside medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and more, honing a multidisciplinary approach to care that treats each patient like the individual they are. Dr. Sciubba even appoints a social worker to each of his patients, helping them tackle the emotional trial that accompanies their physical conditions. Dr. Sciubba was drawn to neurosurgery because conditions in this field can be highly debilitating. "Protecting someone's ability to walk, to think, to speak, is protecting what makes them human," he says. "There's nothing more fulfilling or rewarding than that."
