Subrato J. Deb, MD, MPH, was recruited from the University of Oklahoma School of Medicine and the OU Stephenson Cancer Center where he was professor of surgery and Chief of thoracic surgical oncology. Under his leadership, the OU Cancer Center received the prestigious National Cancer Institute designation. His patients in Oklahoma received the highest standard of surgical quality with nationally ranked programs in both lung and esophageal cancer. Since Dr. Deb’s arrival to Jacksonville, he has established similar excellence in lung cancer surgery, which is ranked in the top 5% in national outcomes, the only such program in the area. Dr. Deb is recognized as an expert in robotic thoracic surgery, but also complex cancer surgery and reoperations for failed foregut conditions.

About Me
My approach to patient care is engaging and personal. I hold myself to high standards and apply evidence based data to the surgical care I provide. I most enjoy building lasting relationships with my patients and their families. My philosophy is to never give up on anyone whom I am fortunate enough to treat as their surgeon.
In my spare time, I enjoy outdoor activity and taking my RV on the road.
