The office staff was extremely helpful and apologized about the wait stating they had several emergencies that day. My visit was interrupted several times by the staff due to these emergencies, however I don't believe this is the norm. The doctor seemed a bit preoccupied and not real sure I had a 100% of his attention.Overall I feel he was a good doctor maybe just not having the best day.

I was not pleased with this appointment. It was a waste of time for both my husband and myself. Dr. Rockowitz bedside manner was horrible. He came across as a self-centered, rude person.

The doctor was truly amazing. I have been to two other doctors before him and no one treated me with such respect and gave me information to change my life. I felt so comfortable in the office and kept getting greeted with smiles by the staff. It was such a warm experience and truly comforting to know someone can help me. He is so detailed and precise which is what I want in a surgeon. I will definitely be sending my friends.
