FEATURED REVIEW

"I recently had an appointment with Dr. Amin of Ascension Texas Spine & Scoliosis. I was in a tremendous amount of pain. I have had 3 spinal fusions and have had plenty of experience with Spine Doctors in Austin. Dr. Amin was incredible. I have never had anyone take that much time analyzing my pain and where and why it was occurring. He worked up a plan to locate exactly where the pain was coming from and we will take it from there. I am confident that his plan will be exactly what I need to solve this issue. I highly recommend that you see Dr. Amin if you want a doctor who listens and takes his time getting to know you."
