About Shaleen Vira and Banner Safety Practices

Care Philosophy

When I see patients, I would like them to know that I will treat them the way I would want to be treated, or the way I would seek care for a family member. This translates into a conservative or less aggressive approach to surgery. I tend to operate on a fewer percentage of patients than my colleagues do because this is exactly the way I would want myself or my family member treated.

Specializing In

Spinal Surgery
Spinal deformities, scoliosis
Minimally invasive spine surgery

Interests & Activities

I enjoy running, golfing, skiing, spending time with family and friends, and traveling.

All Banner facilities are pleased to provide interpretation services to our patients and their companions for no charge - just ask when you arrive.
