Biography

Dr. Baisden specializes in complex spinal surgery. She has also completed training in spinal cord injury and tries to integrate the pre and post-operative care to maximize recovery.

“I strive to provide personalized Spinal Care focused on Evidence Based Medicine. Trying to find the right treatment (surgical or nonsurgical) to optimize patient outcomes is my ambition. Participation in guideline development within the North American Spine Society has enabled me with a strong sense of the science behind medical care. I hope I can help educate my patients and their families to the options of care and when appropriate deliver the surgical treatments to restore their lifestyles. My practice-guiding values are Honesty, Knowledge, Ethics, and Compassion.”
