About Dr. Maria Ruiz
Dr. Ruiz has been practicing spine and pain medicine for almost 15 years. Her decision to enter this field came from her desire to help improve people’s quality of life by tackling the primary cause of disability that is spinal disorders and pain.
Dr. Ruiz believes that most spinal pain can be managed by properly communicating and cooperating with the patient. My goal with each patient is to tailor a unique plan that will ultimately restore their quality of life and return them to their prior function.
Dr. Ruiz was born in New York City. Her parents, both from the Dominican Republic, moved the family back to the island where I graduated from medical school at Pontificia Universidad Catolica Madre y Maestra in Santiago.
Dr. Ruiz then returned to Queens, New York where she served an internship at New York Hospital of Queens. After this she moved to the lovely, historical city of Philadelphia for her residency in physical medicine at Graduate Hospital.
She greatly enjoyed her time in Philadelphia due to its nation of old colonial charm and modern vibrancy. After finishing her residency she did a year of a spinal intervention fellowship where she learned to perform basic and advanced spinal injections.
After becoming fully board certified in pain medicine and PM&R she made the, decision to accept a position in a clinic in northern Michigan, where she has fallen in love with the natural beauty and friendly people of northern Michigan.
Three years go the clinic she worked at closed and that is what brought her to southeastern Michigan, and the Spinal Recovery and Joint Center. She fully embraces SRC’s philosophy of pain management through tailored and varied modalities fits with my desire to help patients reach their full potential.

Patient Testimonials & Reviews
Nancy Wisniewski Relief from Arthritis Knee
"Dr. Pispidikis and the whole SRJC staff have been taking great care of me for years. I’ve been receiving gel shots in my kness for over 5 years and they continue to work great to keep me from going bone on bone. But just recently I started having a lot of stiffness from arthritis inflammation in my right knee. Dr. P. suggested a new procedure called GAE (Genicular Arterial Emoblization). I’m so glad I had it done! All of the stiffness is gone, no more grabbing onto things to help pull myself up from a sitting position. I will continue with my shots and will not hesitate to have GAE on my other knee if or when I need it. Trust SRJC, they are truly top notch and really care!"
Marie Roy Relief from Arthritis Pain
"I was healthy and always stayed active until 7 years ago when I became caregiver for my husband. About 2 years ago his chronic condition worsened. Having to lift him, along with getting his wheel chair in and out of the car, took its toll. Eventually, walking became difficult and painful. At a suggestion of others, I agreed to see a Chiropractor. I walk a little straighter and take bigger steps. I can tolerate getting in and out of bed with very little pain. I am no longer concerned when driving over railroad tracks. Prior to treatment, going over any bump was excruciatingly painful. I have been seeing Dr. Pispidikis and the Team at Spinal Recovery and Joint Center for 3 weeks. The atmosphere and concern in the office, on a scale of 1 to 10, is a 13."
Thomas Edwards Relief from Neck & Shoulder Pain
"When I was bowling in my bowling league, I would get severe pain on the right side of my Neck. I bowl right handed. This pain was so severe; I thought I must give up bowling. Then I met the Team at Spinal Recovery and Joint Center. After we had talked about my pain they said come to our office, we can help you. So I made an appointment, and I have to say, I have been well satisfied with the results. I feel much better. Now I can enjoy bowling without having to put up with severe pain. Thank you Dr. P. and the Team at Spinal Recovery and Joint Center!"
