I want to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Eithan Kotkowski, an exceptional neurologist whose professionalism and dedication have made a tremendous difference in my mother’s health.
For years she suffered from persistent pain that no specialist had been able to properly diagnose, especially after a fall she experienced a little over two years ago. We visited multiple doctors, yet no one identified the true cause of her discomfort. It was a long and frustrating journey for our family.
Dr. Kotkowski listened with patience, showed genuine concern, and conducted a thorough evaluation until he discovered the real source of her pain: a nerve located in the back of her head. Thanks to his precise diagnosis, my mother received four targeted injections today along with a clear, well-structured treatment plan that finally gives us hope and a path toward true recovery.
His ability to explain everything clearly and compassionately brought us immediate confidence.

Eithan Kotkowski, M.D., was raised bi-lingual and bi-cultural on both sides of the United States–Mexico border. Growing up at the foot of the beautiful Franklin Mountains in El Paso, one of his favorite childhood memories was taking regular hikes. In high school, he studied abroad in the small, landlocked Kingdom of Eswatini in Southern Africa. Intrigued by film, psychology, and the connection between brain and mind, he combined his love of cinematography and health by caring for the people of Eswatini; filming mothers living with HIV and how they cared for their children. It was then that he knew he wanted to pursue medicine.
