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!

Very thorough and he took great care to explain everything. I have a much higher level of confidence about my own understanding of my health, the prescribed course of treatment & ultimate prognosis. Also have a communications plan in place in the event of future questions or concerns.
