Excellent experience with Dr Rothrock. He was one of the most thorough doctors I have ever seen. He spent more than an hour with me doing a detailed history and various tests. He provided multiple treatment options and was fine with me doing more research before taking a certain path. I highly recommend him!
There's a reason this Doctor is one of the best in the world. Takes time to listen. Had all sorts of ideas. So happy I have become a patient!
