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.

 

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.
