Why did you choose Rothman?

My first spinal surgery was with Rothman back in 2009. I wanted to incorporate a healthier lifestyle, and my brother suggested the physicians at the Orthopedic Integrative Health Center.

Describe your experience.

The Orthopedic Integrative Health Center helped me modify my lifestyle in a way that made sense. The physician and her team were keyed into what my specific needs were.

What would you recommend to patients considering treatment?

I went to get a second opinion, and they asked, “why are you here—you have Rothman.” That should be a recommendation in itself!

Do you have a great Rothman Story?
