Doctor's Biography

Dr. Rotoli is dedicated to advancing neurosurgical knowledge among his colleagues and physicians in training. He teaches neurosurgical residents and medical students at Saint Barnabas Medical Center. His publications include multiple articles in peer-reviewed journals and he has presented his work at the American Association of Neurosurgeons annual meeting.

His philosophy is that a conservative approach to patient care should be employed first and surgical intervention should only be undertaken when all conservative treatment options have been exhausted. If surgery is indicated, he uses the latest technology to ensure the safety of his patients.

 

Dr. Rotoli is amazing ! He is polite , kind and patient . You never feel rushed ! I had very bad pain for 7 months after finally deciding to have surgery , which he never pushed and always respected my decisions while providing me with honest answers about my condition , I am now pain free ! He did an amazing job and I trusted him from the beginning ! Office staff is kind , short waits ! I am so thankful that he changed my life for the better !
He did a surgery on my husbands back on June 6th. Before the surgery he was in A LOT of pain and experiencing numbness and massive muscle weakness in his legs. Dr Rotoli explained that he could definitely get rid of the pain but he didn’t know about the numbness and weakness but as of today the pain is completely gone and the numbness and weakness is getting better. Thank you so much for your help Dr Rotoli.
Dr. Rotoli is an excellent doctor, not an alarmist. Calm, listens and answers all your questions and makes you feel like you are special. Very knowledgeable and has a fantastic understanding of your situation and great personality. My first visit and it was very relaxing and hopefully a good outcome for me. Very confident in his care.

Very informative and didn’t rush to go to surgery. He offered other options to try first.
I want to thank Dr. Rotoli because he understood right away my back issues and what needed to be done. He is very professional and very knowledgeable about how to approach my issues. I just saw him for another follow up since my surgery from June 2025 and he knows that I may now have other issues and he is working hard to figure it out. Thank you Dr Rotoli and staff for taking care of me.
I really recommend Doctor Rotoli he saved mi dad’s life, and thanks to God and him I’m keeping my dad with me .
The office is so clean and the staff are attentive and courteous. They make sure you are comfortable before the doctor sees you.
When you think you will never walk again, or be able to get back to having a normal life I met Dr. Giorgio and he saved me from severe pain and returned me back to the daily life I had before. Can't thank him enough. Very professional, caring, informative, and impressive. Will never forget what he did for me. Will refer every one I know.
