Becker's Spine Review is a Chicago-based online and print publication focused on the latest trends in spine industry development, business and legal issues.
Dr. David Rothbart, founder of Spine Team Texas, was among one of fourteen national award recipients. Each year Becker Healthcare receives numerous nominations for their Leadership Awards. All nominees are considered by a panel of editorial team members and healthcare industry experts.
“It seems only fitting that Dr. Rothbart be included in this list of outstanding spine surgeons,” said Mark Hood, CEO of Spine Team Texas. “His contributions to our community and to the patients at Spine Team Texas are far-reaching and life-changing.”
According to Becker’s Spine Review, the award is presented to spine surgeons based on noteworthy contributions to their practice and the spine community, entrepreneurial skills and influence in business and leadership.

All recipients have exhibited extraordinary leadership skills among physician groups and continue to lead growth in their businesses.
