Dr. Roth was the calm presence in my storm. I went for a consultation. He explained my options in great detail. He listened to me! He was very caring, is highly respected in his field, and has a wealth of knowledge. He gave me the information needed to make an informed decision on my health situation. He advised me to take the time to absorb it all befor making a decision. I highly recommend him!

I was very pleased with Dr. Roth. He spent whatever time was needed to explain what was going on with me and answering mine and my wife’s questions. We traveled 2 hours to see him and we left feeling confident we found the right doctor.

Dr Roth has been informative during my visits and presents with a calming demeanor. He has recently performed a successful back surgery on me and I am confident as I am now seeing him for other spine concerns.

From his medical staff and office personnel everything was professional. Dr Roth did 3 of my back surgeries including a fusion that has stayed in place over 10 years. My quality of life is better at 68 than is was in my 50s thanks to Dr. Roth.

I broke my neck 26 years ago and Dr Roth saved my life and my ability to walk, be active etc. Recently, I started experiencing numbness and pain in neck and arm. I made an appointment with Dr Roth and he had no openings for 6 weeks. In the meantime, I made an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon who said spinal surgery was the only option. I chose to wait for Dr Roth. He recommended physical therapy first as a more conservative approach. Thank you Dr Roth for taking the time to explain. The wait was worth it!
