What our patients are saying:

I am so happy with my decision to go to the Minimally Invasive Surgeons of Texas at the UT Specialty Surgery Center. My surgeon and his team helped me to really understand everything that was happening each step of the way. As promised, my recovery was speedy and I was back to my regular self sooner than I expected. The front office staff and nurses are A+. My surgical result was excellent and the whole experience could not have been any better.
-Don M., patient

“ I use to wake up choking and gasping for air 2-3 times a week. Thanks to the Minimally Invasive Surgeons of Texas I can now say that I am not only medication free but I am sleeping peacefully. The whole staff was great and so caring. They answered all of my questions and helped explain everything before my procedure.”
-Linda A., patient
