Desh Sahni, MD, at Capital Brain & Spine is one of only a handful of Texas surgeons trained in both neurosurgery and spine surgery. He is also one of the few spine surgeons in Central Texas who specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery. Much of his work is done through incisions that are often one inch or less. Almost all his surgeries are done through a microscope with limited bleeding and tissue damage.
Most importantly, he is a highly skilled surgeon who aspires for perfection in patient outcomes. Dr. Sahni employs a scholarly, science-based approach to neurospine surgery and provides humane and compassionate patient-centric care.
Open-minded and non-judgmental, Dr. Sahni and his staff welcome all patients with warmth.
Brief Biosketch
Dr. Sahni was raised in New York and received his undergraduate degree in English literature from Columbia University and his Medical Degree from Columbia’s College of Physicians & Surgeons in Manhattan, NYC. He relocated to Texas to undergo neurosurgical training at the Baylor College of Medicine/MD Anderson in Houston. He then completed a fellowship in complex and minimally invasive spine surgery at the Texas Medical Center Spine Fellowship program where he trained at Houston Methodist Hospital, MD Anderson, and Texas Children’s Hospital. He is certified by the American Board of Clinical Neurosurgery.
Dr. Sahni has extensive experience and training in neurotrauma: both brain and spine. He is highly regarded as one of the most experienced and capable neurotrauma surgeons in central Texas. He had the privilege and honor of serving as the neurotrauma coordinator for the busiest ER in Central Texas: St. David’s South Austin Hospital, a level 2 trauma center, for 4 years and was trusted as the primary on-call neurosurgeon for their trauma center for more than 5 years. During this extremely demanding period of service to the people of Austin - where he was required to respond to emergencies in 30 minutes 24 hours a day, sometimes weeks at a time - Dr. Sahni saved the lives of and prevented paralysis in dozens of patients while relieving pain and disability in hundreds more.
Dr. Sahni believes in treating patients as he would himself and thinks compassion is a good guiding principle in one’s moral compass. He advocates for nontraditional, nonsurgical therapies for spinal health, including chiropractic care, yoga, meditation, Tai-chi, acupuncture, and strength training.
Dr. Sahni is married with three children and a 4 lb chihuahua. He is a beginner pianist who practices daily meditation, intermittent fasting, high-intensity interval training, and light resistance training.

Reviews
Very knowledgeable in my care
Very sensitive to our needs
Dr sahni was great
Was disappointed that the only solution offered were injections even though I mentioned ibuprofen helped the perception was not offered only injections at which point I was told nothing else could be done and if change my mind about injections to come back.
My experience was good.
I do not know where this Dr. received his license from, but please consider other Dr.'s in the area. I understand now why he can't accept insurance nor bill insurance companies. I definitely would not recommend this office to anyone. That staffing was pleasant. The Dr. has a terrible attitude.
Excellent
I arrived at my appointment to find a very professional staff and atmosphere. I was in a comfortable waiting room for a very short time before called in to see the doctor. He promptly introduced himself and begin to ask me about my injury. The doctor was able to provide a plan and also advise me on those things that I needed to quit or not in be involved in prior to the surgery. That shows me that he's interested in having me at my best health to be able to recover from the process. I would recommend highly recommend anybody to see Dr Sahni. Kudos and attaboys to you and your staff
Dr.Desh Shani very thorough to the point explained every detail of what was going on. I would highly recommend this doctor to others. Very nice manners. He ask you if there's anything you want to talk about. I really did care a lot for him my first time and I would go back if I had to.
First class service. Dr Sahni is an expert at asking the right questions to diagnose you.
Amazing and detailed. Thank you for being such a professional in a day few seem to exist.

Realy professional, and pation.
This man is an amazing Dr.....He is straight to the point and about his business. I would absolutely recommend him. He found an issue with my spine and I had been in pain for a long time prior to this wondering what had happened. I was debilitated and can't play much with my son. He helped me get the care I needed to repair myself. Thank you.
Staff and doctor are very nice . They go over everything with patient and voice any concerns .
