Dr. Jacques Morcos, who was born and raised in Lebanon, earned his medical degree at the American University of Beirut. He completed his residency in neurological surgery at the University of Minnesota Hospital and Clinics in Minneapolis, followed by fellowships in cerebrovascular surgery at the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville and in cerebrovascular and skull base surgery at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix.

Board certified in neurological surgery, Dr. Morcos is a fellow of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons and a fellow of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons. He is highly experienced in multidisciplinary minimally invasive endonasal endoscopic approaches, as well as open skull base approaches. He also speaks Arabic, French and Spanish.

His primary clinical interests are cerebrovascular lesions including aneurysms; brain arteriovenous and cavernous malformations; dural arteriovenous fistulae; Moyamoya disease; stroke and cerebral ischemia; carotid endarterectomy; bypass surgery (STA-MCA and high flow); microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm; complex brain tumors including skull base tumors such as pituitary adenomas, meningiomas and acoustic neuromas; head and neck cancers; and radiosurgery.

An avid researcher, Dr. Morcos has conducted observational studies in aneurysm surveillance, the impact of targeted therapies in NF2 acoustic neuromas and laboratory dissections to optimize and innovate neurosurgical approaches. Co-founder of the International Registry of MCA Bypass in Cerebral Ischemia, he holds leadership roles in the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the World Federation of Skull Base Societies.

A professor at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, Dr. Morcos holds a Distinguished Chair in Neuroscience and also serves as director of cerebrovascular and skull base neurosurgery.
