    Ive been going to Rothman since 1995. Dr.Fenlin treated my shoulder and in 2007 he operated on it, and ive never had an issue since.
    I wont comment on the back doctor i saw there because that was terrible.
    Most recently, Dr.Rothman did a knee replacent for my mom, and shes doing so well, and they took great care of her.
    And I just had surgery on my hand with Dr.Takei and i just dont have enough words to say how great he is. Its only 1 week post op but im already doing better.
    Thank you to Rothman for the great care through the years!

    I had an anterior labral tear in my right hip that caused a great deal of pain while running and during other physical activities. As an avid runner, this was not enjoyable. I went to the Rothman Institute and John P. Salvo, Jr., M.D. fixed my up. Since the surgery I have run a list of ultramarathons including multiple 50 milers and two 100 milers without having any reoccurrence of the hip pain. Job well done, Dr. Salvo!

    Love Rothman. Had bi-lateral knees 7 years ago by Dr Rothman, right carpal tunnel Dr Wang and most recent in June, Dr Vaccaro did my 3 level cervical fusion. Even get to go see Dr L. For both my shoulders this month. Cant say enough, tho at times, waiting way past appointment times happens often. But I can honestly say that I also wait in other doctors office too. I will continue to recommend Rothman Institute.

    I was early for my appointment. Concerned about the location due to parking facilities. Very pleased that they validate for one lot. Make sure to find out when making your appointment the correct lot to use. Anyway was checked in, questionaire completed, X-rays taken, seen by Dr. Rothman, his nurse afterwards and given my surgery information and back in my vehicle all within 2 hours. Only paid $10 for parking. Glad I made the decision to go to Rothman. Surgery to be scheduled, rehab, recooperation and I know I will be in good hands. Thank you Dr. Rothman, may not be riding in the City to Shore for MS this year, but confident that you will make me capable for riding next year.

    My hip was bothering me, and my local doctor told me it was bursitis. A neighbor suggested Rothman, so I called in hopes of getting an appointment within two months. Incredibly, I got an appointment with Dr. Rothman 8 days later. When I arrived at the crowded waiting room I was again surprised when I I was summoned to X-ray within 10 minutes. Shortly after that, Dr. Rothman sat down with me and explained how bad my hip was. After 2 months of being told "It's only bursitis," I was relieved to know my suffering had an end date. I can't recommend this place strong enough.
