ABOUT DR. BAI

Dr. Peng Bai is a board-certified specialist in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation with more than a decade of experience helping patients overcome debilitating spine and joint conditions. His fellowship training in Interventional Spine & Pain at OrthoCarolina in Winston-Salem equipped him with an advanced, precision-focused skill set that he brings to every procedure and patient encounter at Resolution Spine and Joint.

Dr. Bai co-founded RSJ alongside Dr. Schmidt with a shared conviction: that patients in the Triangle region deserved better, faster access to expert care, a physician who genuinely listens, and treatment plans built around the individual rather than a protocol. At RSJ, that vision is realized every day.

What sets Dr. Bai apart is his rare combination of technical mastery and genuine warmth. Patients consistently describe him as down-to-earth, approachable, and thorough, a physician who takes the time to understand not just the diagnosis, but the person behind it. He is deeply committed to staying at the forefront of his field, blending cutting-edge treatments with the kind of old-fashioned bedside manner that is increasingly hard to find.

Dr. Bai’s expertise extends well beyond the exam room. He is nationally recognized by the North American Spine Society (NASS), where he serves as a clinical instructor and co-chair of the Coding Committee, a testament to the respect his peers hold for his clinical knowledge and leadership in the field.

BEYOND THE CLINIC

When he’s not caring for patients, Dr. Bai loves exploring the Raleigh restaurant scene and spending quality time with his wife and three children.

  • "Dr. Bai treated me two years ago with amazing results. I felt the pain returning on Tuesday, knew I had to get in quickly as I’m leaving tomorrow for Ireland. Explained my situation and the set an appointment for two days later , now I’m good as new. The entire team is great. Very friendly and professional."

    Hank T.

  • "Yesterday was my first time visiting their practice. I was there for a cervical injection and was a bit nervous. Every single person from reception to the nurses to the doctor were all friendly, kind and professional. I saw Dr. Bai and I can’t say enough good things. He was compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything to me before and after treatment. I felt relieved that I was in such capable, caring hands. Gary was in the room to assist Dr. Bai and he was just as nice and understanding. I would highly recommend them"!

    Jennifer B.

  • "This spine center has the most compassionate people working in the 'ortho/spino' sphere. From the front desk to the doctor and everyone in between, all, are kind. Dr. Bai has old fashioned bedside manners. He listens. He is super-skilled. He uses pin point precision to get the meds to the spot. I would tell anyone I know that has spine issues to consider them."

    Abbas E.

  • "Dr. Bai is amazing and was a huge help. Very professional very skilled and extremely down to earth. My whole experience with Dr. Bai and company is highly recommended to people with back pain. The injections themselves have not cured my issue due to probably needing surgery but have gotten me to a place where I am able to go about my daily life again! Which is an amazing improvement and it’s all thanks to these guys!"

    Valerie S.

  • "Dr. Bai and his staff are amazing! He is extremely personable, down to earth, and takes the time to listen to your concerns. I would have never guessed what was causing my issue, but after my first consult he picked up on it and ordered a few test. On the second consult, he was able to show me what the others had missed. I am so lucky my primary care Dr recommended this group! The office staff is also very pleasant and easy to work with."
