John Lee, MD, MSCE
University of Pennsylvania
John Lee, MD, MSCE, is professor of neurosurgery at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Lee completed his residency at the University if Pittsburgh and his fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. He has a passion for minimally invasive ways to treat brain and skull tumors. He is recognized annually in Philadelphia Magazine’s Top Doc issue from 2011 through 2025. This passion is expressed as a commitment to endoscopic approaches to remove pituitary, clival, acoustic neuromas and other skull-base tumors. Another expression of his interest in minimally invasive methods is his devotion to stereotactic radiosurgery, eg. “incision-less” brain surgery.
In addition to brain tumors, Dr. Lee is committed to the comprehensive treatment of patients with craniofacial neuralgias, including trigeminal neuralgia, glossopharyngeal neuralgia, and hemifacial spasm. Dr. Lee uses minimally invasive, fully endoscopic surgical procedures including microvascular decompression (Jannetta procedure) and stereotactic radiosurgery to cure these disorders.
