Name:
Bill Roth

Advanced Ankle Arthritis

Why did you choose Rothman?
My good friend recommended Rothman as being the best in the area for ankle replacements. After doing research and meeting with Dr. Pedowitz, I knew he was the right person.
Describe your experience.
As nervous as I was initially, the process that the doctor presented to me made me feel comfortable. Ultimately, making the decision to do the TAR surgery, was one that I am grateful for. The surgery was life changing, giving me my mobility back.
What would you recommend to patients considering treatment?
I would highly recommend that anyone seeking out next steps for their ankle injury, to contact Rothman right away. The overall experience was a pleasant one that has allowed me to get back to normalcy.

Brookhaven, PA
Condition:
Torn Shoulder Labrum (Both Shoulders) with instability and dislocations
Treatment:
Arthroscopic Labrum Repair
Why did you choose Rothman?
My Dad had a really good experience with his ankle replacement at Rothman. We also heard that Rothman had physicians who cared for high level athletes. Because I am a gymnast and wanted to continue in my sport, I knew Rothman was my best option.
Describe your experience.
From the first appointment to the final post op appointment, I knew I was in good hands at Rothman. They were knowledgeable, comforting and excellent in their care for me.
What would you recommend to patients considering treatment?
I would absolutely recommend Rothman to any athletes who need surgery. I am so happy that I was able to return to my level of competition and continue competing in college.
