New Bedford patients have convenient 30-minute access to Dr. Basques at the East Providence office. As a major South Coast city with a rich maritime heritage, New Bedford is home to an active workforce that benefits from Dr. Basques' expertise in motion-preserving spine surgery. Cervical and lumbar disc replacement — procedures that maintain natural spinal motion rather than fusing vertebrae together — are particularly important for New Bedford patients who want to remain active in physically demanding occupations after spine surgery. Dr. Basques is one of very few surgeons in New England offering both cervical and lumbar disc replacement as well as endoscopic spine surgery, providing New Bedford patients with options that go far beyond traditional open surgery and fusion.
Dr. Basques sees patients from Downtown Historic District, West End, North End, South End, Far North End, Whaling City and all surrounding neighborhoods. As one of very few spine surgeons in New England offering the complete range of advanced surgical techniques under one roof, he provides New Bedford residents with options that go far beyond what is typically available at community hospitals and even many academic medical centers.
