Willimantic patients travel approximately 55 minutes to Dr. Basques at the East Greenwich office. As a historic mill town in Windham County and home to Eastern Connecticut State University, Willimantic has an active community with diverse spine care needs — from sports-related disc injuries in younger patients to degenerative spinal conditions in older adults. Dr. Basques offers Willimantic patients the full spectrum of modern spine surgery: endoscopic microdiscectomy for disc herniations (same-day, keyhole surgery), robotic-assisted fusion for instability conditions, and cervical/lumbar disc replacement to preserve motion. For Willimantic patients who have been told fusion is their only option, Dr. Basques frequently provides alternative motion-preserving solutions that maintain natural spine function.

Dr. Basques sees patients from Main Street Historic District, ECSU Campus, South Willimantic, Willimantic River, Thread 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 Willimantic residents with options that go far beyond what is typically available at community hospitals and even many academic medical centers.
