Spine Team Texas

Dr Reeves and the entire staff are always on their game.

Great caring people

Awesome

I have been using Spine Team for several years now and I love the Doctors and staff.  They are always courteous and helpful. They include me in my treatment options and respect my wishes.  Dwayne Collins is who I see the most and he knows my history and what I need.  Dr. Garcia does my injections and does a great job.  I always get in and out quickly and the front desk staff are great.I would definitely recommend Spine Team to anyone with neck or back issues.

I left another large spine center and luckily found The Spine Team.Dr. Patel, my family and I truly appreciate you giving me back my quality of life. Dr. Gayle P.A., thank you for helping me through these trying times, I truly appreciate your sincerity and your help. If you are looking for great doctors and a Team(just as the name says) you found them. Thank you to the entire staff at the Spine Team(including billing) for giving me top-notch service. I sincerely appreciate how I was treated as a part of your family and not just another patient. Listen, if you want a team to be involved in your care and not just a doctor, then The Spine Team Texas is the best in the business. Thank you, Thank You,Thank You!!!Btw: Dr. Patel I need one of those jackets you were wearing before my surgery...😃

In October 2020 I had the fortunate/unfortunate :) opportunity to meet with Dr. David Rothbart and his team.   I had been experiencing chronic back pain and numbness in both legs since the Summer, and after conservative treatment (Accupuncture, NSAIDs, and PT) didn't work for me I had an MRI which confirmed issues at L4-L5.    I met with two Neurosurgeons who both confirmed my diagnosis, and shared with me an injection would not help my situation and surgery was the best option.   With my back pain and numbness at a ~7-8 level I had to give surgery serious consideration.    After meeting with Dr. Rothbart I agreed to have surgery (Fusion L-4-L5).   Though nervous I was committed to getting "fixed" and moving forward.    He explained in detail the technique he would use to address my problem (OLIF- Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion).    I had never heard the term OLIF before, but he told me it was the best approach for my condition, and one that would give me the best chance of a good recovery.     Having been in the Medical Device industry (sales) for 30 years I was curious to learn about the OLIF surgery.   Google/Youtube provided many opportunities to view this surgical technique.  If you don't like seeing someone get operated on there are several animated versions to view.    This isn't for everyone, but given this was the biggest surgery to date I have ever had I wanted to know everything.      I was told pain would be present for a few days, but a good chance I would be off the hard stuff within a week.  Fast forward a week and I had surgery on a Thursday morning.    The operation took 3-4 hours, and that afternoon I was awake/alert and slowly walking laps around the hospital floor.  I will not lie about the pain....  though I had meds it was pretty tough the first few days, but on day 4 I stopped all the prescription meds and remained on Regular Tylenol for 3 more days.   After day six I was off all pain meds.  I know all surgeries are not the same, but this was my experience.   I only spent one night in the hospital, and was happily at home on the afternoon the day after surgery.    Yes, it was a little tough getting around the house, and I would recommend a walker for the first 2-3 days...longer if needed.    After a week at home I was walking 1/2 mile / day and it got better each week.    Fast forward 3 months--    Doing great and back in the gym riding the stationary bike and walking on the treadmill.  Zero pain, and looking forward to riding my bike next month when the weather improves.  I have my final visit in May (6 mos), and I hope to be back at all previous activities at that time.    I highly encourage PT which I give much credit to for helping with my rapid improvement.      Thus my rating for Dr. Rothbart and his team is a 5+!        In Summary... I know every patient is different (age, fitness, etc), and recovery is likewise different.  I just wanted to share my story as I could find very few articles on patients who had positive experiences with Lumbar fusion surgery.    I'm fortunate to be doing well, and wanted to share there are positive experiences out there.     JLT

Everyone there is extremely nice. And so far my pain has subsided substantially. I would recommend giving them a chance.

Dr. Tran was great, She examined me, diagnosised me gave me lots of options and meds. Most of all she got me out of pain and gave me HOPE! I love her!!! Ladies in front office were super nice helpful and down to earth!

Spine Team Texas is the best in the business! From the front desk, to the Doctors and everyone in between I felt like a valued patient. I was not pushed into anything I was not comfortable with and they actually listen to you. The physical therapy was top notch as well.

Dr. Rothbart and his team have been a true blessing to my life. I am forever grateful. The ADCF surgery fixed me . Electrical pain gone !! I also got my natural walking gait back !! Dr. Rothbart is a master in his field. Truly my hero.RespectfullyPaula D LongBrownwood, Texas
