Joshua Bakhsheshian, M.D., M.H.A., is a neurosurgeon at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona, specializing in minimally invasive spine surgery, robotic spine surgery, spinal deformity correction and spine tumor surgery. He treats conditions affecting the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, including spinal stenosis, herniated disks, scoliosis, degenerative spine disease, spinal tumors and complex spinal deformities in adult and adolescent patients.

Dr. Bakhsheshian's clinical expertise includes minimally invasive and robotic spine surgery, cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine procedures, spinal deformity correction, revision spine surgery, complex spinal reconstruction and spine tumor surgery. His advanced surgical interests also include endoscopic and motion-preserving techniques.

Dr. Bakhsheshian completed neurological surgery residency training at Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center. He subsequently completed fellowship training in adult and pediatric comprehensive spine surgery.

He is an assistant professor and serves as director of Robotic Spine Surgery and Clinical Spine Surgery Research in the Department of Neurosurgery. As a surgeon-scientist, he studies surgical outcomes, data analytics and techniques intended to improve the safety and effectiveness of spine care.

Dr. Bakhsheshian has received national research funding and has authored more than 150 peer-reviewed publications, abstracts and textbook chapters. His professional interests include minimally invasive spine surgery, robotic spine surgery, motion-preserving techniques, adolescent and adult spinal deformity, spine tumor surgery and complex spinal reconstruction.
