Arthur Carminucci, MD, FAANS is a board-certified Neurosurgeon specializing in minimally invasive and complex spine surgery, and robotic spine surgery.

Dr. Carminucci treats degenerative conditions of the spine, neck and back pain, sciatica, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, spine fractures, and spine tumors using various techniques, including microdiscectomies, decompressive laminectomy, minimally invasive instrumented spinal fusion, and robotic spine surgery.

He believes in a conservative approach to patient care saying, “If and only if all conservative treatment options have failed, should surgery be considered. If surgery is deemed necessary, I utilize state-of-the-art, minimally invasive techniques to provide the safest and least invasive treatment tailored to the patient based on his or her symptomatology, activity, and post-surgery functional goals.”

“I strongly believe in a patient first approach and am dedicated to giving my patients my undivided attention, compassion and expertise. Being able to help patients overcome their illness is the most satisfying aspect of my job,” says Dr. Carminucci.

Dr. Carminucci’s clinical expertise also covers a broad spectrum of neurosurgery, including specialized training in the treatment of brain tumors and minimally invasive endoscopic techniques for the treatment of pituitary tumors. Additional advanced training minimally invasive stereotactic radiosurgery to treat brain and spine tumors. He also treats neurological pain disorders using spinal cord stimulation.

Dr. Carminucci completed his undergraduate studies at The College of New Jersey. During that time, he developed a fascination with the human brain through his studies of the central nervous system. He then attended medical school at Rutgers: Robert Wood Johnson Medical School where he was drawn to neurosurgery, in particular surgical and non-surgical care, the developing technologies in the field, and the ability to help patients through compassionate care. He went on to complete Neurosurgical Residency training at Rutgers: New Jersey Medical School. During his residency training, he completed a focused research year in the laboratory studying translational therapies for the treatment of brain tumors.

He has participated in numerous research studies in the area of spine surgery and brain tumors, and has been published in a variety of journals including, The Journal of Neurosurgery, Neurosurgery, and Journal of Neuro-Oncology. He has presented on the national and international level and in 2019 was recipient of the Leksell Radiosurgery Award given by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons.

Dr. Carminucci is honored to continue his practice of neurosurgery in New Jersey where he was born and raised. When not seeing patients, Dr. Carminucci enjoys spending time with friends and family, staying physically active, and traveling.
