Dr. Rothstein was fantastic. I saw him for a follow-up appointment on a diagnosis from another doctor and he took time to hear everything that was going on and explained everything to me in detail. He was really patient and extremely friendly.

Dr. Rothstein is clearly a very thoughtful intelligent man. He asked a lot of questions about my condition, gave me very specific details and scenarios about what the issue could be, gave me clear instruction on next steps and potential solutions. Can't ask for more than that. He was also really personable and down to earth to speak to. He even went above and beyond to recommend some PCP for me because I mentioned I didn't like mine. I wish every doctor's visit made me feel this cared about. Seems like a great guy and doctor.
