While earning his bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Virginia, Dr. Luebbert was a volunteer at the school’s hospital in the Digestive Health Center and Surgical Admissions Suite. He also served more than 120 hours as an Emergency Medical Technician in Virginia Beach and as an undergraduate research assistant in the university’s Biological Research Laboratory.
During his Doctor of Medicine studies at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, Dr. Luebbert was a clinical research assistant in the Molecular Transplant Research Laboratory and the Department of Anesthesiology. He completed his internship/anesthesiology residency at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Dr. Luebbert was mainly drawn to the pain management and anesthesiology field because he found treating patients’ pain to be extremely rewarding. “Chronic pain is one of the biggest reasons patients go see their doctor and it’s frequently undertreated,” he said. “Reducing chronic pain can dramatically change patients’ lives and I am glad I can provide that service.”
He is excited by the advancements in neuromodulation including both spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulation technologies.
When coming up with an individualized treatment plan, Dr. Luebbert knows that medications are a crucial part of the therapy plan to treat chronic pain for many patients. “My goal is to provide a pain medication regimen that will effectively reduce pain while limiting adverse side effects,” he said.
Communication is key, according to Dr. Luebbert, when it comes to patient-centered care. “Medicine is increasingly complex and it’s crucial that doctors explain the pros and cons of therapies to patients in a way they understand,” he said. “It is important that doctors provide patients with different therapy options.”
In his downtime, Dr. Luebbert enjoys reading, hiking, swimming, and skiing. With a passion for capturing images, he hopes to improve his skills in photography.

Dr. Luebbert is professional and soft spoken. He has accommodated me and provided the pain relief through procedures that has greatly improved the quality of my life. It is a blessing and I am very grateful for all he has been able to do for me.
Dr. Luebbert is always polite and respectful and in good spirits. He seems to truly care and understand your pain and wants to help you however he can. I have extremely high anxiety and he is patient with me and especially during a procedure he always make sure I’m ready and explains what he’s doing even though I’ve had those procedures done a thousand times which helps with my anxiety. I would highly recommend him to anyone that has chronic pain.
Very pleased with him great doctor
Great Doctor!
As always my apt was done efficiently with little wait time in the waiting room and my procedure was alters set up and ready when I got back to the room. The nurses and staff are so friendly and helpful and make you feel at ease. Dr Luebbert is always kind and helpful and recommends procedures/treatments that are individualized to my specific pain needs.
Excellent guy who is very professional and has great bedside manners
I was not expecting results until later on this week, but after the injections this morning, the severe pain has subsided. I really appreciate the insight and advice/ support given.
Always prompt and pleasant!
From the time I walked in to the time I wobbled out, Dr. Luebbert was exceptional.
Good first meeting
