The entire staff at Dr. Rott’s office were extremely friendly and helpful. Dr. Rott was very thorough, communicated clearly, listened and put me at ease.

Dr. Rott was such a nice doctor. He went over every single thing with my dad in regards to how to treat his gout. Even took pictures to monitor his gout for a future follow up visit. He listened and took his time to talk through every single medication and what it does. My dad was very very happy and pleased with his visit. Thank you again Dr. Rott & staff !

Dr Rott took his time meeting with me and explained my diagnosis and treatment. He ordered the necessary tests for follow up treatments
More than 1 year agoDeirdre R.Verified patient
I’m 24 and in good shape but have had several painful symptoms that have kept me from living my life and my primary care doctor recommended I see a rheumatologist. Dr. Rott heard my symptoms and diagnosed me with fibromyalgia since my labs and everything were all normal. He even said he didn’t believe in the diagnosis but it’s the only thing that fits. Prescribed me an antidepressant for 3 months and I complied despite the reported side effects and 3 months and not much had changed plus new symptoms. When I told him this at my follow up he just referred to my old labs taken and said that this was something my primary care doctor would take over for now since it’s not auto immune. No answers and just blatantly didn’t care. Very sad that people are allowed to practice medicine and charge for literally no answers or help and just treat their patients like burdens.

I was so impressed by Dr. Rott and his office staff. He was very knowledgeable and he understood how my daughter felt about her condition. He is very caring and I felt like he was going to do everything possible to get her well. Some doctors just want to keep you coming back but not Dr. Rott. I highly recommend him. After moving from another state, I thought that we were never going to find doctors like she had for years, but now I feel it’s possible . The environment and his staff was EXCELLENT!!! So he is a keeper!!!!
