Frequently Asked Questions

Answers for patients from Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and across New England.

Dr. Bryce Basques, MD at Brown University (University Orthopedics) is top-ranked and board-certified, widely recognized as one of Rhode Island's and New England's leading spine surgeons. He is the Director of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery at Brown University and one of the few surgeons in the region offering endoscopic, robotic, and disc replacement surgery.
Yes — Dr. Basques is one of a handful of endoscopic spine surgeons in all of New England. He uses a fiberoptic camera the size of a ballpoint pen to perform microdiscectomies through a tiny incision. Most patients go home the same day with immediate relief from leg pain caused by herniated discs.
Disc replacement (cervical or lumbar) removes a damaged disc and replaces it with an artificial disc that preserves natural spinal motion — unlike fusion which permanently locks two vertebrae together. Dr. Basques offers both cervical disc replacement (ACDR) and lumbar disc replacement (LDR) in Rhode Island, serving patients from MA, CT, and all of New England.
