Brotzman Sport Medicine always appreciates feedback from our valued patients.

Please read what others are saying about Brotzman Sport Medicine below, and as always, we would love to collect your feedback.

I am very pleased with my knee operation, my office visits with you, your nurse Melissa, and your PA Jennifer. You were very gentle with my knee, had great bedside manners, and explained what was happening with my knee and what the plan was to repair it. But what impressed me the most was your honesty. You recommended a partial or full knee replacement, but during the surgery you saw that all I needed was an arthroscopic meniscus repair. After the surgery you informed me that I would need physical therapy. You offered options for physical therapy services anywhere. I chose to receive physical therapy in your facility. The physical therapy staff were caring, informative, and pleasant to work with. I am pleased with the service I received. Josh at the front desk always had a great attitude, smiled, and greeted anyone who came in. He was pleasant on the phone and in person. He answered any questions I had without hesitation. He made me, and others, feel welcomed. In my opinion, he is a great asset to your organization. Quinton was very professional, and patient with me. He would ask me to perform an exercise but before I started, he would explain how the exercise would help me with range of motion and flexibility of the muscles. He was very knowledgeable with my operation and how to tailor my exercises for the most successful outcome of my knee, thigh, and hip. He explains how all three are connected and their functions with my knee. I appreciate having such a qualified physical therapist working with me.

All the staff was efficient and polite.

Dr. Brotzman is extremely thorough and kind; by far the best orthopedic surgeon I’ve ever met! He listens to you and doesn’t want to just do surgery if he doesn’t have to. He does other alternative options - which has been very successful for me and I so appreciate! As soon as you walk in, everyone is very friendly and helpful. They treat you so well. Dr. Brotzman has created an atmosphere and culture that is unusual in this day and age. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Brotzman is an elite surgeon. I injured my knee playing basketball and heard about him through a magazine as the best orthopedic surgeon in Austin, and they were right. He knew right away what had happened to my knee and we discussed my options in depth so I would know exactly what the pros and cons were with each path. We ultimately went on his recommendation with a hamstring graft ACL reconstruction surgery which he worked with my schedule to get me in at a time that worked with me. Aside from the obvious pain that comes with any surgery, Dr. Brotzman and his physical therapist Michael Duke have gotten me almost 100% back to normal. I'm not quite at a year after surgery but I am pain free and I am able to do everyday tasks without any doubt that the knee will hold up. I live a very active lifestyle and it was important to me to be able to return to that lifestyle with little to no change and that's exactly what I've gotten. I would highly recommend Dr. Brotzman for any and all knee, or sports injuries in general, if you want a high quality surgeon with decades of knowledge and experience. He will walk you through it and make the experience as enjoyable as possible especially with how difficult the situation could have been going to a doctor with less talent. Can't thank him enough!

Love the warmth and attention every person took to make sure I was taken care of.

Having trust in a doctor is top priority for me and Dr. Brotzman earned mine!

Happy with my appointment and everything went smooth.

Very knowledgeable and helpful!

All ways a nice experience. Super friendly!

Always great information and professionalism

Awesome experience. Love that x-rays were completed on site and the precautions taken with COVID

Great medical service from friendly staff!!

Enjoyed my experience.

I am very happy to have had Dr. Brotzman as my surgeon. I had surgery to repair my knee and it was wonderful to be taken care of so very well. His office and staff are wonderful also. Thank you!

Dr. Brotzman is very personable and knowledgeable and takes his time in talking to you and ensuring you understand your condition. He answers all of your questions. He is very down to earth and wants to make sure you live a quality life.

Great experience. Great staff that was incredibly knowledgable and explained everything clearly.

FRIENDLY PA AND STAFF. THEY TOOK CARE OF MY KNEE PAIN NICELY.

I Could Not Have Been Treated More Graciously And Professional. From The Beginning Of Scheduling On The Phone To The Initial Checking In Thru The Exam, Consultation, Diagnosis, Treatment And Checking Out. Dr Brotzman And His Staff Are Incredibly Awesome. I Would Recomend Him And His Practice Highly To Family And Friends.Thank You Vanessa Jo Park

Timely and professional

Really happy with my visit. The Dr. explained the process that he would be doing and what I can expect from surgery. Left the office knowing the plan and what I could expect.

The staff was great! My consultation with Dr. Brotzman was superb. He was by far the most thorough knee doctor I have seen in my 13+ years of having knee issues.

Rachel White is a great addition to your staff!!!! She is very professional, has a great "bedside manner" and very efficient in her work. Looking forward to seeing her again! JN

I have visited Dr. Brotzman's office twice and both visits were very pleasant. The staff were helpful and friendly. Dr. Brotzman did an amazing job explaining the procedure and any questions I had. I am glad my doctor referred him for my upcoming surgery. I feel very confidant I will receive the best care available. He is very knowledgeable and professional in my opinion. I don't think I could have asked for a better surgeon.

It was nice when the doctors listen to you. They did a great job making sure your comfortable when draining and giving an injection. Thoroughly went through treatment plans and options.

He was really professional, and really good at explaining also his team is awesome !

Friendly service and Dr. Brotzman was very knowledgeable and great at explaining everything!

Dr. Brotzman and his team made my son feel at ease and comfortable during an in-office examination of his knee. During the car ride there my 14 year old son was scared but once we entered the office he felt at home. Literally. The office is built into an old house and has been remodeled with comfortable furniture and is decorated like a relaxing home. We never felt like Dr. Brotzman or his staff were in a rush to move onto the next patient but rather gave us the time we needed. I had a strong sense that Dr. Brotzman wouldn’t do anything to my son that he wouldn’t do to his own son. Thank you for giving us a very helpful and pleasant experience!

Nice clean office all staff very friendly this office makes you feel very welcome love that about it

Excellent experience - trust Dr. Brotzman completely

Great overall experience...my first time to visit this office after a foot fracture... everyone was so professional and friendly from beginning to end...no wait time for my appt when I got to the office and Dr Brotzman gave great care regarding treatment options for my foot

Prompt, comprehensive and professional experience!

Everyone was super nice. Jarrod was attentive, informative, and listened to my concerns.

A very good experience and the appt was on time.

It was extremely helpful and I feel so much better after my visit! Thank you!

Jacob was great, went above and beyond in helping me understand my situation

The office is well laid out and welcoming; the staff is friendly and helpful; and Dr. Brotzman knows his stuff. I’m very happy with this practice.

Dr BROTZMAN is the best. He has cared for my family through several injuries and is a pro. He literally wrote the book on how to do what he does!

Dr. Brotzman is the BEST!!! I have been seeing him for the past 16 years for my knees and i have always had a wonderful experience with him. Dr. Brotzman really listens to his patients

Dr. Brotzman takes the time to answer all questions and to explain to the smallest detail.

Doctor explained everything in comprehensible terms. He is an astute clinician, immediately recognizing my discomfort (from edematous knee joint) on first visit and performed a minor procedure on the spot. Definitely knows his stuff.

Was very impressed with Dr Brotzman, he was very knowledgeable, had wonderful bedside manners, and really listened to me. I came in with Plantar Fasciitis and left feeling hopeful and taken care of. Highly recommended!!

Good feedback. People were nice

Quick and convenient to get in, knowledgeable, caring, professional team

September, 2020, I injured my knee. PCP was not seeing "this sort of need" face to face and after a zoom appt put me on an ice/elevate routine for 6 weeks. Now November, nothing improved, she sends me to PT. Therapy helped, a bit until it didn't. Now, 3 months in and no images or anything (mind you, 20% of the time needing crutches to do my job!) Finally, sent to an ortho who did x-rays and reported, "you are 55, it's probably arthritis, any intervention is going to be worse than the injury, just treat the symptons and take 2 Aleve every night." I was devastated! I am 55, and tho slightly overweight, I bicycle 30-100 miles a weekend, and now I couldn't even work in the yard. A friend recommended Dr. Brotzman and I am so blessed. He saw me in a very timely fashion, ordered MRI, saw the partially torn meniscus and established a plan. Since I hoped to ride RAGBRAI in July (2021), he told me how to still make that happen (without Aleve or meds!) then repaired the knee after my big ride. One month after surgery, I rode 10 miles pain free and 2 months after surgery, I walked around DC for a day, clocking 20,000 steps. Today, 10 weeks after surgery, I rode 30 miles and now ascend stairs with no pain, and better yet, no fear of instability. I am so grateful for Dr. Brotzman!!

Great

As a new patient and healthcare worker myself, I thought Dr. Brotzman and his staff were very informative and provided excellent care and understanding of my current situation. I would highly recommend his office to anyone in need of a orthopedic surgeon!!

Awesome

Dr Brockman and his PA both are very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend this practice to anyone.

Excellent truly knowledgeable service! X-rays on site, Dr. Brotzman really knows his field, and the staff, PA, and techs are really great. Appreciate everyone taking COVID concerns seriously as well.

Front desk staff, techs, PA Jennifer and Dr. Brotzman were all incredibly nice and thorough. My appointment never felt rushed, yet it was very efficient. Best off, my fear that all orthos are interested in is cutting was unfounded. He provided recommendations to stay active and sent me on my way. Planning to make another appointment for a wrist injury.

The staff was very pleasant. The office is very clean and comfortable. Most importantly I felt like the provider I saw was very knowledgeable and addressed all my concerns.

Dr. Brotzman and his staff made it so easy to have knee surgery. I was very hesitant as I heard so many horror stories, but just meeting Dr. Brotzman put me at ease. He’s personable and professional and very knowledgeable. Thank you Katelyn also in Physical Therapy who has me up and almost running in only a few weeks!

Dr. Brotzman offered a personalized, In-depth review and even chased me into the lot to help with references for an unrelated issue.

Shawn W Absolutely Amazing! Long story short, I went to DR. B for a consultation on stem cell therapy for a torn rotator cuff, and as a second opinion for surgical options. Not only was he extremely kind and helpful when explaining everything, he even helped me navigate shoulder surgeons and literally called the surgeon for me and spoke to the him while I was sitting there, helping me to schedule the procedure. He also was able to fit me in a very tight timeline even though at this point he wasn't going to receive any additional business from me anytime soon. I will be using him in the near future for a stem cell treatment though, but I can't express my gratitude enough. Not only is he incredibly intelligent, he's genuinely a great human being, and a perfect example of someone who's the salt of the earth!

Love this practice , efficient, friendly and professional!!!

Staff were professional and attentive. Appointment was right on time. I also needed X-Rays that were done on site and didn’t have to run all over town to another medical facility to get them. Jennifer gave me my injections and was a real sweetheart. It was a pleasure Dr Brotzman.

Dr. B has performed 4 surgeries on my wrists and foot. I have never been more impressed or happy with a doctor. He's the best there is!

The whole staff is Friendly. The wait time was quick.

This place is beautiful and the staff was so welcoming. My consultation with Dr. Brotzman was great he was very informative and helpful. The outstanding customer service I received makes my excited for my upcoming procedure because they truly care about my overall health. Outstanding job thank you

Rachel White is a great addition to your staff!!!! She is very professional, has a great "bedside manner" and very efficient in her work. Looking forward to seeing her again! JN

Always professional and really listened to where I was telling them my problems were. Cannot recommend them enough

I'm confident I'll get this injury behind me with Dr. Brotzman's help.

Dr. Brotzman actually spent time with me and wasn't rushing from patient to patient. He took his time. His staff is fantastic! Unlike the cattle herding experience at other doctors offices.

I visited Dr. Brotzman for some advice and guidance regarding my insertional achilles tendonitis and struggles with achilles heel spurs. Dr. Brotzman answered all of my questions and helped me determine my next best steps.

Everyone was very helpful and listened to what was really bothering me. Thank you.

Explained everything to me that I needed to know for the surgery and answered all my questions!

I had surgery on my foot 6 weeks ago. I realize I am probably not the norm, but I never experienced any post-op pain. I was sore for days 2 and 3, but after that I was up and walking like nothing had happened. Dr. Brotzman was patient, kind, caring and in my opinion a most excellent surgeon. His entire staff, from the front desk to his techs were always welcoming, kind and professional. I could not have asked for a better experience or outcome. Thank you all for my excellent care both pre-op and post-op.

Dr Brotzman and his staff were all so kind and knowledgeable- having an injury isn’t fun, so having people who care and listen makes it a little better! Thank you!

I think first impressions are important. This was my first visit to Dr. Brotzmans. From the receptionist to the Doctor, everyone was friendly, polite, and professional!

Good so far , the treatments for my knees to come here in the next month .... reserve final judgement until then

Met all of my needs and had answers to my questions. Explained everything in detail. Nice and funny guy!

Dr. Brotzmen and his staff are friendly, organized and caring. Dr.Brotzmen is an amazing surgeon. He fixed my right foot after I had a Jones Fracture. I am like new now. I broke my finger and he sent me to a specialist to repair it but I would have loved to had him work on my finger because he is a Docterd who really caress I highly recommend Dr.Brotzman.

Dr. Brotzman and his staff are awesome. Friendly, courteous, and knowledgable.

Great experience. Was able to get in very fast. Jarred and Dr. Brotzman and all of the staff were awesome. Highly recommend.

It Was A Great Experience From My Making Of The Appointment To The Seeing Of The Dr. To The X-Rays, To The Explanation Of All Thats Involved With My Situation, From The Front To The Back It Was Professional And The People Was Great. I Would Recommend This Practice Highly.

My family have been patients of Dr Brotzman for years and highly recommend him and his staff.

Very knowledgeable and personable.

The staff were extremely friendly and thoroughly explained what my visit would entail. Dr. Brotzman gave me a great explanation of my meniscal tear issue and what my next step options are. Overall I was very pleased with my visit.

Everyone was friendly. Service was quick

Like being able to discuss options for care & a having a doctor that takes the time to listen. Dr. Brotzman & his staff made me feel comfortable about the plan of care for my knee.

I’m so impressed with the entire staff

Dr Brotzman and his staff were gracious and reassuring when I went in with a knee injury. I had heard that he and his associates were top notch and from what I can tell so far, this is the truth. He and his staff were forthcoming with information and what could come next based on what he was seeing at the moment. Kind and friendly doctor and staff. Thank you for making this as pleasant as it can be.

Great Experience

I am very impressed my visit was very professional and helpful to my situation. I highly recommend Dr Brotzman he is extremely knowledgeable and very hands on with his diagnosis.

Very friendly staff

Dr Brotzman is an great doc. I am alway greeted with professionalism by the staff, a reflection on the office.

Very time efficient.

Very impressed with staff and quick professional service

From the time my appointment was made until I left the office, everything was very good--friendly, professional, competent. I would recommend this office, and will return.

Saw Dr Brotzman to diagnose some ankle and knee pain. All around fantastic team, including the Doc himself. Agree with his diagnosis, and began some Physical Therapy soon after. My only complaint is his schedule is booked up for ~3 weeks typically, so had to wait and awhile to get in a visit. To me that says he is an in-demand and sought after professional.

Quick and efficient office visit. No nonsense approach. Very friendly staff.

The environment had a welcoming vibe and the staff were down-to-earth yet professional. Dr. Brotzman and his staff were swift with their service (no beating around the bush) and made sure the I (the patient) was kept in the loop for the whole process and execution of treatment. If anything, the peace of mind I received the day I went was all I needed to feel confident and happy that my broken ankle was in good hands.

I saw Jennifer on Friday and very happy with my experience there. The facility was nice and everyone was quite friendly. I felt heard and taken care of.

Great staff and amazing doctor!

received injections in both knees. Pain is much better. Staff was very helpful and provided me with x rays to give to next Dr for a possible total knee replacement.

Everyone was very kind and professional. I went to Dr. Brotzman for a second opinion on ankle surgery that had been recommended by another doctor. He agreed with the first doctor and highly praised him, which increased my confidence in both doctors.

Awesome!!! Great office and staff. Very courteous and knowledgeable staff

I have been seeing Dr Brotzman for over 5 years now. He and his assistant are all top-level medical personnel, courteous and fun to be around. They have deep knowledge of their profession and it shows. I am greatly appreciative of their expertise and how they help you understand what is happening with your knees and other joints. Thank you to all there!

jennifer was very pleasant, informative and helpful. thank you!

The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

It was great.

Dr. Brotzman is a real pro. He is an accomplished athlete himself so he closely identifies with our needs. There is no need to look any further. Don’t run a red light. Go on, go see him!

Dr. Brotzman is great! He has an awesome bedside manner and was easy to talk to when describing my problem. He quickly figured out what had been bothering me for over two months. Hopefully, I won’t need surgery after physical therapy.

Dr. Brotzman explained the surgery in a way that I understood and answered my questions. I was very pleased. He seems to be very kind and caring.

I really felt like Jennifer listened to my concerns and gave me multiple options for treatment. It was really refreshing! Thank you so much!

Great experience. Informative, quick action and friendly.

The service was timely and thorough, making sure all my questions were answered

An amazing doctor down-to-earth honest and would tell you and ask you how he can help you I would highly recommend is doctor if you are in serious pain

Excellent patient care and Customer Service!

Left knee tendon collapsed off bone. I fell traveling down the Alkek Library stairs at Texas State University. Landed with all weight onto left arm breaking fall, Re-fractured left humerus. Advised to see another Orthopedic surgeon for left elbow. Sent for MRI to obtain severity of damage. Will see Dr. Brotzman Monday, Mar, 4th, 2019 for further protocol. Hoping to schedule surgery quickly so I can continue the completion of B.S. Geography - Resource and Environmental Studies at Texas State University in San Marcos, TX. Only a few months to go.

First time dealing with website, but so far so good.

I was referred to Dr Brotzman by a friend after a trip to urgent care showed I fractured my fibula. My friend kept saying “he’s the best” over and over again and I soon realized she wasn’t exaggerating. Everyone is super friendly, extremely professional, highly trained and the office energy is very welcoming and cozy. Five stars all day long from me 🙂

I was referred to Dr. Brotzman and he was the 4th doctor I went to for his opinion. I was never satisfied, trusting or comfortable with the other physicians. Dr. Brotzman was right on top of my situation having AVN. I first saw Jennifer, PA then Jarrod, PA and they were both extremely knowledgeable, explained everything with xrays in hand in it’s entirety and going over every detail and not hurried. I then felt so much better knowing exactly what has happened and explaining exactly what type of surgery I needed. Dr. Brotzman, his PA’s, xray tech, MA’s and all office staff were never in a hurry and always ready to help in any way possible. The only problem I have with Dr. Brotzman is.... I wish I had found him long ago!! I left his office today feeling relieved, relaxed, ready to proceed and hopefully seeing an end to the pain I have!! Thank you Dr. Brotzman and staff.

So impressed with the care and atttention from Dr. Brotzman and his stafff! Everyone was so kind and caring and made me feel very comfortable Within a few days of the recommended treatment I’m now pain free and so happy I chose this team!

Friendly environment & staff, very clear communication from the front desk all the way to Dr. B- I feel great I took my injury to the team.

Moderate wait time. Very competent and compassionate PA.

I saw the P.A. and he was very informative, professional and knowledgeable.

This is a very warm and welcoming office. Everyone from the front desk staff, to the medical support staff, to Dr. Brotzman was very accommodating and professional.

I have been a patient of Dr. Brotzman for years. I am grateful for the time, patience and care Dr. Brotzman and his staff have provided, and I am very fortunate to have found such a wonderful doctor!
