History

Established in 2003.

Spine Associates was formed in 2003 as a partnership between Dr. Richard R.M. Francis and his wife, Juanitta Francis. After Dr. Francis practiced as an assistant professor through the University of Texas for 4 years, he and Juanitta decided to open their own practice. Having been married for 14 years with 4 children, they currently work together to provide care of adult and pediatric spinal disorders that focuses on patient care and remains at the forefront of spinal surgery.

«We wanted to develop our practice in the areas of efficiency that we think are important, that we found were hard to achieve in a group setting, in areas we thought geographically would be hard,» says Dr. Francis. «Opening our own practice gave us the latitude to do these things.»

Spine Associates has recently announced the appointment of Dr. Asif Chaudhry as head of the Interventional Pain Management Department of Spine Associates.

Since founding Spine Associates in 2003, he has built a considerable reputation by maintaining a conservative approach to treating all spine conditions in both children and adults.
