Dr. Kotecha is one of the few neurosurgeons in the country with dual spine fellowship training in neurosurgery and orthopedics in the country performing endoscopic laser spine surgery. ​ Dr. Kotecha received his medical degree from the University of Texas Medical School - Houston and completed his neurosurgery residency at Brown University / Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, RI. He subsequently did an intensive neurosurgery fellowship in Complex and Reconstructive Spine Surgery at the University of South Florida under the supervision of a world-renowned spine surgeon, Dr. David Cahill. This fellowship involved taking care of patients with complex spinal pathologies, including operating on patients who had undergone spinal surgeries with other spinal surgeons and still had persistent pain (Failed Back Syndrome). Whilst in private practice, his continued passion for learning led him to do a second fellowship in Orthopedic spine surgery with world-renowned endoscopic spine surgeon Dr. Anthony Yeung. Dr. Kotecha’s unique combination of fellowships and years of patient experience has allowed him a unique approach to treating patients with various spinal ailments in the least invasive manner possible.

It is one of the best, most seamless experiences I've seen. Our 5th floor visit went extremely well. From check-in to check-out, everyone was attentive, professional, and genuinely helpful. The 2nd floor visit was a bit different. At check-in, the young man appeared to be disengaged or bothered which is the person that checked us in and the young lady sitting next to him was preoccupied with her cell phone. While some may not notice, it was clear: head down, hands moving, and unaware that patient standing right in front of them. This comes across as disrespectful. A simple shift - putting phones away and being present - would make a significant difference. Aside from that, the care and service on the 2nd floor matched the excellence of the 5th floor. Overall, this is a great team of people and kudos to the hiring manager for building such a strong group. Sincerely E. L. Usher & Daughter Eva Alcorn

I brought my toddler here at the recommendation of his chiropractor. We were thinking there was an…read moreissue with his hip. We had a little bit of a wait, but with as many patients as we saw in the waiting room, it really wasn't bad. The ladies in the front had everything running like a well oiled machine and with me filling out paperwork ahead of time and also being able to pay in advance, we had no clipboard full of papers to go over and we didn't have to show anything other than our ID. Once in the room, Dr. Gary Brock came in and was friendly. He immediately introduced himself to me and my husband and then tried to interact with my toddler who just wasn't having it. That's no fault of Dr. Brock... he's just a two year old who doesn't like being in one spot longer than 32.7 seconds lol. Dr. Brock DID manage to get a high five and as he was looking at my son's legs and hips, he was talking to us about what he was looking for and what he saw. He was also being as playful as my little guy would allow in his annoyance of not being on the run. My husband went with my son to get a couple x-rays and just about the time I thought we'd be doing some more waiting, Dr. Brock was already back with copies of the X-rays telling us everything looked good. He made sure that we got his card with his personal number on it and encouraged us to send him any videos of our son walking/running if we saw something that didn't look/feel right. He said he didn't want us to have to bother making an appointment and coming all the way to the office if he could help us over a text or call. Even though our initial wait was longer than a two year-old would prefer, we spent a grand total of 1.5 hours from the time we got our parking garage ticket to the time we were back in the car. Not bad for seeing a specialist on a busy Thursday.

He said that the week prior he had waited two hours after his appointment time in the waiting room before leaving and asked to have his appointment rescheduled because he couldn't keep waiting. I went with him to his rescheduled appointment, and to my surprise, we waited two hours after my dads appointment time before leaving again. This time the nurse brought us to the back and then we proceeded to wait there for another hour. With more than enough time to read the reviews on this doctor we both decided he'd be better off if we left and found a better doctor. (He also has a ding under his license with the Texas Med Board) I'm not sure why we have back pain patients sitting in uncomfortable chairs for well over 2 hours after their scheduled appointment time on MULTIPLE occasions. & I don't understand why we have gotten to the point where this is acceptable in the medical field when you're not waiting at an emergency room.
