He is the greatest. Only one that could help my back problems. I would recommend him to all my family and friends.

He has been my doctor for almost 24 years and I can't ask for a kinder, caring and just all around genuine person. He has seen me through 5 back surgeries and 3 neck. I am so grateful for him sticking by me all these years and always listening to me. Anyone he sees should feel very lucky because he will take care of you.

Dr, Botero missed the diagnosis, sent me to pain management, and pain killers. Much imaging, but no MRI ( still at high out of pocket costs to me ). For spinal experts, go to Spine and Scoliosis.... with one MRI, serious problem found in spine structure, kinda important!

Only experience we had with him was at hospital. Great bedside manner. Came by many times to check on husband. Only wish he did the procedure my husband needs. From trying to see Cabbell his office staff is HORRIBLE. Really like Botero.

Nurse promptly returns calls, straight forword and knowledgeable which comes from experience. Performed one major surgery after first fall and made best decusion for me after second fall. Offered us to even to get second opinion prior to surgery...great dr!

From the first meeting I knew this was the only surgeon I wanted to operate on me. He was not quick to cut and had other tests he wanted me to have before he made a positive decision. he answered all of my questions.After 12 years of suffering I knew this surgeon could and would help me.

Dr. Botero is a skilled surgeon and has provided excellent care after my surgery. He personally called several times to check on my progress after the surgery and to follow up visit. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Dr. Botero has treated me twice in the past 5 years for neck and spinal problems related to injury and profession. I have found him to most professional and caring,with an excellent "bedside manner", and have been very pleased with the results of his surgeries.
