Dr Gotha and the staff are EXCEPTIONAL. They all are attentive, responsive, and very accommodating on every one of my needs and requests. They all make one feel very, very special, AND they all take great care of us all. Not only is Dr Gotha exceptional and very professional, Georgia on the phone is great. Bruce seamlessly takes care of all of our paperwork and authorization, and appointments.

Very nice, quick and knew exactly what she was talking about. Needs more testing but I feel like we're going to get exactly the care that we need.

Dr. Gotha is a very intelligent, professional, and outstanding. The surgery she performed on my ankle, foot and calf was extensive but she did an excellent job. I can now walk again and exercise like I used to! Thank you, and her staff is just like her! So helpful and hard working.

Dr. Gotha is an exceptional doctor. She has a great bedside manner. She is very knowledgeable and explains treatment options in an easy way to understand them. She takes a conservative approach to treatment and is not so quick to do surgery. I highly recommend her!
