David Rothbart's Online Review Report Card

Clear communication, excellent care pre and post surgery including all of the necessary visits. Most importantly the remedy of the debilitating back pain. I will be always grateful for Dr. Rothbart, Clay Busbee and all the staff at Southlake Spine Team.

I had severe pain in my right arm, hand, and in my neck as well as numbness in my arm. MRI and CT scan revealed osteoarthritis in my C5, C6, C7, T1. I was told surgery was only option but I got 4 opinions just to be sure. One of those (the third) was Dr Rothbart. I liked him the best and he got great reviews. When I met with him he seemed to be more informed. In fact, he discovered that the issue involved 4 vertebrae even though the MRI lab identified only 2 and the other 3 doctors did not catch it. The lab amended the report after he pointed it out and his CT scan proved it. The surgery went well and I am in recovery. Everything from the initial and follow up doctor appointments to the surgery to the rehab occurs in the same facility. I can't recommend the Spine Team of Texas and Dr Rothbart enough.

His quick response to my pain, even though he could not do the surgery he had already arrange for another surgeon Dr Patel to do the surgery the next day

From reception to final goodbyes, I've never encountered a more competent group of professionals maintaining a wonderful demeanor about them. Dr. Rothbart and his team are truly interested in each patient as a person, and tailor treatment and minimally invasive procedures when appropriate. In short, they listened to my cares and concerns, and we always direct and expansive when describing my problem, the procedure necessary and why, the recovery process and solid estimates of recovery time (all patients are different). I'm so very honored to recommend Dr. Rothbart and all the professionals of Spine Team Texas.

Detailed, conservative, customer focused, interested in solutions.

Dr. Rothbart gets a 10/10 from me! I really appreciate that he takes a conservative approach to surgery. He was very thorough in his examination. He also took the time to answer all my questions. I felt heard and cared for during my appointment. I have some extenuating circumstances, which he also took into account regarding next steps. Thank you, Dr Rothbart!

I recently saw Dr. Rothbart for a spine issue that was discovered after an injury. I was a nurse practitioner for a neurosurgeon in another city for 30 years and retired 11 years ago. I found Dr. Rothbart to be polite, personable, thorough, practical and VERY conservative. This is the way that I was trained, so I greatly appreciate his approach to spinal surgery. Even though my MRI scan didn't look great, I have very few symptoms and a normal exam. His comment to me was perfect...."I don't operate on MRI scans, I operate on people." We're going to try a course of conservative treatment ("watchful waiting") and some P.T. He is the kind of N/S that you want to see. Thank you, Dr. Rothbart!!

The team worked well together and were very thorough. Although I will not engage their services, I felt comfortable and heard.

Met Dr. Rothbart and his team for the first time yesterday. It was a great experience. I liked the intake (thanks to Sharon) and the fact that the doctor was fully prepared before he entered the exam room. His diagnosis and explanation of alternatives for treatment were clear and conservative. My wife and I know I am in good hands—literally.
