Storrs-Mansfield patients from the University of Connecticut area travel approximately 55 minutes to Dr. Basques at the Cumberland office. As home to UConn and a vibrant academic community, Storrs has an active population including student-athletes, faculty, and families who benefit from Dr. Basques' expertise in the full spectrum of spine surgery. For Storrs patients with sports-related spine injuries — including acute disc herniations in athletes and overuse conditions — Dr. Basques offers endoscopic and minimally invasive approaches that preserve muscle function and allow faster return to activity. For older patients with degenerative conditions, his expertise in robotic-assisted surgery and motion-preserving disc replacement provides options that go far beyond traditional open surgery and fusion.
Dr. Basques sees patients from UConn Campus, Storrs Center, Mansfield Hollow, Eagleville, Gurleyville, Storrs Downtown 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 Storrs residents with options that go far beyond what is typically available at community hospitals and even many academic medical centers.
