Newport residents travel to see Dr. Basques for specialized spine care not widely available on Aquidneck Island. The East Greenwich office is a scenic 30-minute drive across the Pell and Jamestown bridges, offering Newport patients access to one of New England's most comprehensive spine surgery programs. Dr. Basques is one of the few surgeons in the region offering the complete spectrum of motion-preserving technologies — cervical disc replacement, lumbar disc replacement, and endoscopic spine surgery — under one roof. For Newport's active sailing and outdoor community, these motion-sparing procedures are particularly valuable, allowing patients to maintain an active coastal lifestyle after spine surgery.
Dr. Basques sees patients from Downtown Newport, Bellevue Avenue, Ocean Drive, Fifth Ward, Broadway, Point Section 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 Newport residents with options that go far beyond what is typically available at community hospitals and even many academic medical centers.
