Dr Sahni and his staff are AMAZING! After several rescheduled surgeries at the last minute the Dr I had a surgery scheduled with was unable to do it. He and his staff stayed after hours to fit me in. He stepped in and took on my Show morecase and I’m happy to say I am able to have surgery without rescheduling. Thank goodness for Dr Sahni and his staff for making me feel I matter.

About Dr. Dr. Deshdeepak Sahni, MD

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.

Good service and very time efficiant. Dr. does not like to be kept waiting which means he gets you out as soon as he is done likes everything to be in place in order and ready to see the patient in the room before he sees the patient.

Charles R • September 29, 2026

Honestly it was the fastest evaluation ever I spent more time waiting for hours, less than 15 minutes with the most contradictory results you don’t need surgery but you can’t go back to lifting and open boxes. But you have a 4/5 great range of motion ignoring all the clicking of my joints. I would not visit again.

Alina C • September 29, 2026

Very informative and my next step for healing.

Overall, my visit was rushed and lasted less than 5 minutes and not sure what the next steps are, only he ordered MRIs, but don’t know who was going to be scheduled and where to go, only that our next conversation would be by phone and dismissed me.
