Bring Your Loved Ones with You
We understand that seeking treatment for your back pain is a big decision. And if you’re thinking about getting back surgery, you probably won’t be making the decision by yourself. You may wish to consult with your spouse, a family member, or another loved one you trust.

That's why we encourage you to bring your loved ones with you to your appointment. Dr. Siddiqui, Houston spine surgeon, is happy to meet with your entire support team to educate you about possible treatment options for your back pain and to answer any questions you or your loved ones may have.

Ask Us Anything
Speaking of questions, we encourage you to ask us plenty of questions during your appointment. We believe the best patient is an informed patient, and Dr. Siddiqui will answer every question clearly and honestly.

If you’re thinking about getting back surgery, you need to have all the facts. We recommend writing a list of questions and bringing it with you to your appointment. There is no such thing as a bad question.
Please, ask us anything.

Our staff is friendly, personable, and attentive to your every need. You’ll even be given a hot pack or a cold pack when you check in to help you get comfortable and ease your pain. Every patient gets first class treatment when they come to The Spine Center.
