I feel it an honor to be involved in the neurosurgical, spine and pain care of my patients. With hard work and training from the Johns Hopkins hospital I aim to treat every person as an individual. Our hospital partners allow the best care delivery and outcomes possible with exerptise and compassion.
“Dr. Baird is upfront, no frills, professional and a skilled surgeon. He diagnosed a right frontal lobe brain tumor and within three weeks it was removed. Dr. Baird did not waste my time or money with "monitoring or biopsying" for which I am appreciative. As a new patient I highly recommend him to others and also believe in him for any follow-up care I may need.”

Dr. Sahni was raised in New York City where he attended Columbia University for both undergraduate and medical school. he then moved to Houston to train in neurological surgery at the Baylor College of Medicine and MD Anderson Cancer Center - one of the most intensive and rigorous neurosurgery training programs in the nation. During residency, Dr. Sahni won the prestigious NREF award, of which only a handful are awarded annually, and conducted ground-breaking research in the use of nanotechnology for spinal cord regeneration. After residency, he completed a complex and minimally invasive spine fellowship in orthopedic spine surgery. He is among the very few spine surgeons in Texas with dual training in both neurosurgery and orthopedic spine surgery. In addition, he has extensive training in brain and spine tumors from MD Anderson Cancer Center, where he was a chief resident. Dr. Sahni currently serves as the chief trauma neurosurgery coordinator for St. David's South Austin Hospital.
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.
“I was refereed to Dr. Sahni office in the beginning of January, I would get phone calls from two of Dr. Sahni staff setting up appointments with different times and address. I was so confused and address this to both of them and confirmed me their address is correct. The day before i would get a call from Fabiola, one of the staff members setting up my appointments calling to inform me Dr. Sahni cannot see me and will need to be rescheduled. Not just once many times i’ve gotten this call and grown tired. After 2 months time I finally visiting the office, and was taken back to the exam room. I was told by the Medical Assistant they’ve just moved into a new building and have no equipment, not even equipment to read my weight, record my temperature and my blood pressure. The MD did perform a few test on me for nerve pain and other concerns. After finally meeting with Dr. Sahni i was greeted, asked general and medical questions, I understand moving into a new facility they are short staffed with equipment but i could’ve been re scheduled with an examination table and equipment! He explained to me a surgical procedure that is short time and can return to work next day. He showed me a video on his phone showing the procedure while he went to grab a flyer. I was uncertain and needed more information. We agreed for a follow us. It’s been two weeks and have not heard from his office for a follow up, Dr’s interaction could of been handled better.
Overall experience was disappointing and poorly handled
In the beginning of January, I was referred to the office of Dr. Sahni. Initially, I received phone calls from two of Dr. Sahni’s staff members, who were attempting to schedule appointments with different times and addresses. I was initially confused and addressed this issue with both of them while both confirming that their addresses were correct.
The day before my scheduled appointment, I received a call from Fabiola, another staff member, informing me that Dr. Sahni was unable to see me and would need to reschedule. This was not an isolated incident, as I have received multiple calls of this nature, which has become increasingly frustrating.
After two months of waiting, I finally visited the office and was taken back to the examination room. I was informed by the Medical Assistant that the office had recently moved into a new building and lacked the necessary equipment, including equipment to weigh me, record my temperature and blood pressure.
Despite this inconvenience, the Medical Assistant performed a few tests for nerve pain and other concerns.
After meeting with Dr. Sahni, I was greeted and asked general and medical questions. While I understand that the office may be short-staffed and experiencing equipment shortages, I could have been rescheduled with an examination table and the necessary equipment.
Dr. Sahni explained a surgical procedure that is relatively short-duration and allows patients to return to work the following day. He demonstrated the procedure on his phone while retrieving a flyer. However, I was left feeling uncertain and requested additional information.
We agreed to follow up.
Two weeks later, I have not received any follow-up from Dr. Sahni’s office. The interaction between the doctor and the patient could have been handled more effectively.
Overall, my experience was disappointing and poorly managed.”

“I'd been having chronic back pain for 35 years and was told that because my spine looked fine, that the issue was most likely piriformis or a sciatic nerve issue, and that all I could expected from a medical standpoint is to take gabapentin the rest of my life. Then I met a friend at UT who said she went to a neurosurgeon and he simply went in and fixed her issue, and she never again had back pain. In steps Dr. Loftus (I just asked Chat-gpt, "give me best neurosurgeon in Austin TX). And, short story ~ he went in and fixed my issue, and no more issue :). The minimally invasive procedure he uses is just that. Easy-Peasy. I'm now 7 weeks out from surgery, back to 100%, and feeling about 20 years younger! Thanks so much Dr. Loftus - you are amazing. No lie.”
