He followed medical school with an internship at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle and then completed his orthopaedic surgery residency training at The University of California – Davis Medical Center. Dr. Marco had a deep interest in spine surgery, but also had a passion for oncology and treating patients with orthopaedic cancers. He decided to double-specialize and completed two fellowships. The first was a musculoskeletal oncology fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. He later completed a spine surgery fellowship at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago. Dr. Marco is one of the only surgeons in the world with training and expertise in the treatment of patients with complex spinal disorders and musculoskeletal tumors.
