Greater Texas Orthopedic Associates treats injured patients across six Texas clinics, and documents that care to a standard that holds up long after the visit is over.
GTOA was founded on a straightforward observation: injured patients in Texas were being bounced between an urgent care, an imaging center, a pain clinic, and eventually a surgeon, with nobody holding the whole picture. Records arrived incomplete, months apart, and often contradicted each other.
We built the practice the other way around. Orthopedics, pain management, neurosurgery, and traumatic brain injury care sit under one roof, sharing one chart. A patient who needs an evaluation, an image-guided injection, and a neurosurgical opinion gets all three from physicians who have read the same notes.
That structure serves patients first: fewer appointments, no repeated intake, faster answers. It also happens to produce the kind of complete, internally consistent record that a personal injury claim depends on.
One chart, four specialties
Orthopedics, pain management, neurosurgery, and TBI care share the same record: no re-explaining your injury at every visit.
Diagnosis before treatment
Image-guided diagnostics identify the actual pain source rather than treating the most likely candidate.
Conservative care first
Non-surgical and minimally invasive options are exhausted before surgery is ever put on the table.
Records that travel
Documentation is written so it still makes sense to an insurer, an attorney, or another physician months later.
Not slogans: the three rules our clinical protocols are actually written around.
A region is not a diagnosis. We use examination findings and fluoroscopically guided diagnostic blocks to identify the specific structure generating pain, because treating the wrong target wastes the patient's time and the claim's credibility.
Every treatment plan starts with the smallest intervention likely to hold and escalates only when relief is incomplete or short-lived. Surgery is a considered decision, never a default.
Findings are measured, dated, and stated plainly, including causation and any pre-existing condition. A record prepared as though it will be read by an adjuster or a jury is simply a better medical record.
Four reasons that hold true whether you are the person recovering or the professional handling the claim.
Live fluoroscopic guidance with contrast confirmation on every spinal procedure: the difference between a diagnostic-grade result and a blind one.
Causation opinions, imaging correlation, and future-care projections written for scrutiny, not filed away. Treating-physician testimony available.
Beaumont, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Arlington, and Corpus Christi, close enough to home that patients actually attend their follow-ups.
Most of our patients never need an operation. Injections, blocks, ablation, and coordinated therapy resolve the majority of injury pain.
Specialized experience across orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, and pain management.
Neurosurgeon
Dr. Li focuses on simple and complex spine surgery, including minimally invasive procedures and computer-assisted spinal navigation.
His clinical work includes herniated disc disease with nerve compression, degenerative spinal stenosis, spine tumors, trauma, and spinal deformity. He evaluates each patient to identify an appropriate treatment path, including surgical options when clinically indicated.
Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr. Baxter is an orthopedic surgeon with more than 50 years of experience providing consultation, treatment, and surgery for cervical, lumbar, and extremity conditions.
His work includes care for the spine, knees, shoulders, foot, and ankle, along with selected interventional pain procedures. He has also served athletes and performing artists, and his published clinical observation helped identify the nerve entrapment now commonly called Baxter's neuropathy.
Pain Management Specialist
Dr. Hall is trained in anesthesia and pain management. His clinical work includes epidural steroid injections, joint injections, and radiofrequency ablation.
He is also certified in spinal cord stimulation and has served as a staff anesthesiologist for hospital systems. His background supports individualized interventional care for patients with persistent pain.
