They aspire to develop genuine relationships with each patient and ensure a safe and rewarding experience throughout every step of their treatment and recovery. The health of their patients is the benchmark of their success.

All patients are offered an appointment to see Dr. Francis within three days of calling, and on the same day if needed. At every visit, patients are seen directly by Dr. Francis. The referring provider receives a letter or call regarding the patients’ consults within 24 hours. Spine Associates has built close relationships with teams of neurologists, psychiatrists and pain specialists to assure timely delivery of care.

Spine Associates emphasizes the value of conservatism. Because most spine conditions will resolve with non-operative care, they only offer surgery after examining and exhausting all reasonable forms of conservative treatment options. For the comfort of their patients waiting to be seen, their inviting waiting area features a flat screen television, magazines and a fully-stocked coffee bar and a charging station for universal smart phones and tablets.

Spine Associates also offers a very unique service to new spine surgery patients with their Patient Ambassador Program. This program matches former spine surgery patients with patients who are going to be having spine surgery in order to provide assistance and information as well as encouragement to help the new patients understand the process they will be going through prior to and during their spine surgery procedure.

When new patients are trying to make a decision about spine surgery as a treatment option, it often helps to connect with someone who understands and has had an experience similar to their own. For patients who have questions, or just want to listen to what others have to say about their experience, the Spine Associates Patient Ambassador Program is available to help.

The Patient Ambassador Program was created by patients for patients and gives the new patients the opportunity to have candid, one on one discussions with other people who have had spine surgery that have volunteered to share their own personal experiences.

Spine Associates has two locations, one in Beaumont and one in Houston Texas. For further information or to Contact Spine Associates, Call 888-977-4625 or Visit the website at www.myspineassociates.com.
