Meet Dr. David Rothbart

Our founder, Dr. David Rothbart, saw a need to rethink back pain treatment by not rushing into surgery. He envisioned a multi-disciplinary team of spine specialists to provide many conservative treatments under one roof, eliminating the need for surgery as a first option. In fact, because of this approach, 92% of our patients get relief without surgery.

The Spine Pain Treatment Model You Deserve

At Spine Team Texas, what makes us different is in our name.

Our spine specialists truly work as a team, involving spine fellowship-trained physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, spine surgeons, nurses, X-ray technicians, physician assistants and spine-focused physical therapists to diagnose and treat back pain and neck pain. It is a unique collaboration bringing multiple experts together to make sure you get the best possible diagnosis and treatment.

It all begins within our weekly team conference meetings.

Hosted at the beginning of every week, the medical professionals of Spine Team Texas meet to discuss the most critical and challenging spine cases at hand. These team conferences offer our spine doctors and other spine specialists the opportunity to share knowledge to uncover the best neck and back pain treatment options available.

This unique process differentiates Spine Team Texas from the competition, but it also means our patients get a more comprehensive and customized treatment plan.
