About Us

About Spine Associates in Houston & Beaumont, TX

Our practice is grounded in our mission and values, which reflect our high regard for conservatism, quality of care, timeliness, and the most up to date technology. We 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 our patients is the benchmark of our success.

“I knew what I wanted to do from my first exposure to spine surgery in medical school. What grabbed me was that you could take a child with a severe deformity and—within just a few hours—correct it to the point where it was almost normal.”

Mission

Our mission is simple: To give each adult and child the best of ourselves. Every time.

Vision

Our vision is to always be the benchmark for excellence in spine surgery: To always provide cutting edge technologies and treatments that change lives and restore function.

Values

What we value most: timeliness, teamwork, quality of care, and conservatism.

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. We have built close relationships with teams of neurologists, physical medicine and pain specialists to assure timely delivery of care.

We emphasize the value of conservatism. Because most spine conditions will resolve with non-operative care, we only offer surgery after examining and exhausting all reasonable forms of conservative treatment options.

For the comfort of our patients waiting to be seen, our 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.

All the staff are very helpful and friendly. The radiology staff, especially Kathy and Yesenia, are wonderful. I’ve only just met Dr. Francis and have only been seen by him once, but he really impressed me and my husband and I feel like he is going to do what needs to be done as far as finding what’s causing my back pain.

Sandy S. – Lufkin, TX

After meeting with Dr. Francis for the first time, my husband and I had no doubt that we had found the right spine surgeon. He truly cares for his patients and has their best interest in mind at all times. He is the best and my husband and I highly recommend him.

Suzanne C. – Houston, TX

I would recommend Spine Associates because they offer professional advice, understanding and they are great at what they do. I appreciated the fact that my problem was solved and the positive attitude of Dr. Francis and his co-workers. Since having my back surgery, my daily life has improved immensely; I can perform all day to day actions pain-free.

Raymond K. – Houston, TX

Dr. Francis is an excellent and caring doctor. You couldn’t ask for a better doctor or person. His staff is very caring. Our family couldn’t thank them (Dr. Francis and staff) enough for what they have done. Words can’t express how grateful we are to Dr. Francis’s care.

Ricky S. – Jones Creek, TX

Dr. Francis gave me my life back. I suffered with back pain for a few years and was once operated on by a different surgeon but the pain did not go away. I understand now how true the words are: “You are happy as long as you do not feel pain.” Thank you, Dr. Francis, for making me feel happy again.
