Putnam patients in Connecticut's Quiet Corner travel approximately 45 minutes to Dr. Basques' Cumberland office for advanced spine surgery care. As a small but vibrant community in Windham County near the Rhode Island and Massachusetts borders, Putnam residents have convenient access to a spine surgeon offering the most current minimally invasive and motion-preserving surgical techniques. Dr. Basques treats Putnam patients for conditions ranging from acute disc herniations causing debilitating pain to chronic degenerative spinal conditions. His MIS TLIF program — a minimally invasive fusion technique performed through two small incisions — offers Putnam patients with spondylolisthesis or stenosis a fusion option with dramatically less muscle damage and faster recovery than traditional open TLIF.

Dr. Basques sees patients from Downtown Putnam, Putnam Heights, Pomfret, Thompson, Woodstock, East Putnam 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 Putnam residents with options that go far beyond what is typically available at community hospitals and even many academic medical centers.
