Why did you choose Rothman?

Two colleagues, (a hip and a knee) recommended Rothman as did a client (shoulder).

Describe your experience.

I was of course apprehensive, but my fears were allayed by my physician and the entire support staff from diagnosis to recovery and discharge - and during subsequent weeks. The result is near miraculous. I could not have been better cared for.

What would you recommend to patients considering treatment?

Trust your physician and the staff at Rothman. Have help at home at least for the first couple days, don't hesitate to call Rothman about any concerns or issues or advice. Finally: if you need treatment GET IT DONE! You will be very glad you did.
