I'd been having chronic back pain for 35 years and was told that because my spine looked fine, that the issue was most likely piriformis or a sciatic nerve issue, and that all I could expected from a medical standpoint is to take Show moregabapentin the rest of my life. Then I met a friend at UT who said she went to a neurosurgeon and he simply went in and fixed her issue, and she never again had back pain. In steps Dr. Loftus (I just asked Chat-gpt, "give me best neurosurgeon in Austin TX). And, short story ~ he went in and fixed my issue, and no more issue :). The minimally invasive procedure he uses is just that. Easy-Peasy. I'm now 7 weeks out from surgery, back to 100%, and feeling about 20 years younger! Thanks so much Dr. Loftus - you are amazing. No lie.

He is a nice man who answered my questions and acted on them right away
I abused my back in the work, I did for a living. I found Dr Loftus and his fabulous team thru a referral from my pain management doc. I have been so Happy & Thankful, for going to him. After a couple surgeries, I am moving almost like I was many years younger. Thank You & Your Team, for this. Darla Atkins

Excelente cuatomer service Great Dr and NP
The quality of expertise and attention to detail made my experience top tier and gave me the assurance I needed with having a successful procedure. Dr. Loftus and his team was attentive to my concerns and needs which helped me to have a smooth recovery. The Office staff was awesome and helpful every visit. Every step was clear and concise with no run around or the feeling of being strung along. Thanks for such awesome care and an excellent experience.
Best care I’ve ever had
Excellent
The wait was too long
I highly recommend Dr Loftus. He’s operated on me several times for separate issues and even over a decade later I have no issues from his surgeries. He’s also very honest in his assessments, and alternate recommendations if he doesn’t feel that he is best suited for other operations.
Dr. Loftus was approachable, patient, thorough, and kind. He helped me get to heart of the matter and it didn’t turn out to be surgical. Good for me! I would highly recommend him to anyone needing his services.
Excellent as always!
Dr Loftus is the best back surgeon in anywhere around and his office staff is top-notch

he good is and tell everything you want and need to know.
