I am extremely happy with the care I have received from Dr. Pedro Cosculluela.
He is attentive and spends time answering questions, regardless of how long it takes. He is a gifted surgeon and I highly recommend him. His assistant Alvin has responded promptly to my inquiries and he does so with a caring and delightful manner.

entire staff was quick and professional. Dr Meghpare is
very personable and professional with a great bedside manner.
He explained everything and answered all questions
presented.

I have been a patient of Austin Sports Medicine for over 22 years.
Their doctors have always spent the time discussing my issues and I have never felt rushed. I would highly recommend them.
