“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,” said Dr. Francis, according to the Spine Associates website.
Dr. Francis has been educated at the University of the West Indies at St. Augustine, the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in Scotland and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where he was a postdoctoral fellow in spine surgery.
