Dr. Cristian Brotea, MD

I went to see Dr. Brotea after developing terrible pain down my right leg due to a pinched nerve. He was conservative in his treatment but super honest when my symptoms got worse and I needed surgery. Took the time to explain it all and was super accessible pre and post-op, I had surgery in Dec 2019 and am in much better shape! Truly a great doctor and super caring. He has since worked with my son and I have recommended him to all my friends.

Dr. Brotea exceeded my expectations. He performed a cervical fusion on my mother and I wouldn't trust anyone else to do her surgery. He is highly compassionate, has excellent bedside manner, and very skilled. Most surgeons don't take any precautions and just can't wait to cut you open. Not Dr. Brotea; he is very careful and will order necessary tests to make sure whether or not you need surgery. He is always a phone call away and will respond and be there for you. He was a true blessing sent our way.

Dr. Brotea is a surgeon that brings the highest standards of skill and knowledge as well as genuine empathy to his patients. Dr. Brotea performed two unrelated surgeries on my spine; both times, from pre-op consult, through surgery and hospital stay to post-op follow-up, his level of care could not have been better. His integrity and patience in answering all questions to the patient's satisfaction gives the patient the confidence needed before committing to such delicate surgeries.

My wife suffered from a condition called Spondylolisthesis. Doctor Brotea identified it, and proposed a solution. He explained the procedure, the desired outcome, and the risks. We agreed to the procedure. Aside from the expected, and difficult, 4 week recovery time for the surgery, it was successful. He was available for questions for weeks after the surgery, and never left us wondering about the recovery process. We are very pleased with his skill and professional attitude.
