Springfield patients travel from western Massachusetts to see Dr. Basques for specialized spine surgery care not widely available in the Pioneer Valley. As the largest city in western Massachusetts, Springfield is approximately 80 minutes from the Cumberland office — a distance patients willingly travel for access to one of New England's most comprehensive spine surgery programs. Dr. Basques offers Springfield patients the full range of advanced surgical options including endoscopic microdiscectomy (same-day surgery through a keyhole-sized incision), robotic-assisted spine surgery with Mazor X, cervical and lumbar disc replacement, and complex revision spine surgery. For Springfield patients, our team can schedule consultations and any necessary pre-operative testing on the same day to minimize trips.
Dr. Basques sees patients from Forest Park, Metro Center, Sixteen Acres, Indian Orchard, East Forest Park, Pine Point, Liberty Heights, McKnight 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 Springfield residents with options that go far beyond what is typically available at community hospitals and even many academic medical centers.
