Biography

Dr. Robert Cubas is an Assistant Professor of Surgery at University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine. He received his medical degree and completed his first general surgery residency at National University of Cordoba, the oldest university of Argentina and the 3rd oldest university of the Americas. He then moved to California to pursue additional training in surgical outcomes research and a second general surgery residency at Loma Linda University, where he also served as administrative chief resident.

Dr. Cubas fostered his surgical knowledge and skills by completing fellowships in advanced gastrointestinal minimally invasive surgery and surgical endoscopy at University of California, San Diego and University of Miami. His expertise in minimally invasive surgical techniques, provides patients with a faster recovery time and less scarring than open surgical methods. He is skilled in the use of surgical robotics including the da Vinci system, which enables surgeons to perform complex and delicate procedures through small incisions. He has written book chapters and published and reviewed many articles in peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Cubas is a member of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons, the American College of Surgeons and the American Medical Association.

In his free time, Dr. Cubas enjoys traveling, spending time with his family and practicing Karate, a martial art that he has been practicing since he was 13 years old.

        He was always very professional, but very approachable & friendly. He NEVER made me feel rushed during my appointments, answered all my questions (I always have a lot) and even asked if I had any more questions. It was worth the 3 hour drive each way to see him! He took his time in the office & took his time in surgery and it shows! I can't thank him enough for all he's done to get me fixed up.
