Dr. Rothenburg was very professional, knowledgable, and took care of the problem I was having right away.
I was suffering from a swollen elbow (olecranon bursitis) and the doctor identified the issued and fixed it within minutes.
I appreciate how responsive he was in getting me up and running again.

Dr. Paul Rothenberg is a truly exceptional surgeon with a warm and welcoming personality. This was my 6 month follow up after my reverse shoulder replacement surgery. I am a former dancer in my 70’s and have had both knees replaced so I am familiar with joint replacement surgeries. I trusted Dr. Rothenberg immediately. He answered all my questions and explained what he would be doing and what I should expect before, during and after the procedure. He made me feel more relaxed and prepared than I had ever been going into surgery. The outcome was better than I could have imagined! My physical therapist who has been in the business for 20 years couldn’t get over my range of motion on my very first visit. I continued to make great progress and have regained my full range of motion which I haven’t had since my 30’s. I have already scheduled an appointment for my other shoulder surgery with Dr. Rothenberg for next summer. I highly recommend him to everyone. You couldn’t make a better choice!
