Neurosurgeon

Treatments that were once thought impossible as little as 10 years ago are now being used routinely in patients. I work hard to stay on top of the latest developments in the field and find the best options for patients.

Overview

Dr. Rotoli is one of the most highly trained surgeons in the country for the surgical and radiosurgical treatment of brain and spine tumors. He completed his neurosurgical oncology fellowship at Moffitt Cancer Center, which is among the top 10 cancer centers nationally. In addition to neurosurgical oncology, he treats the full spectrum of adult neurosurgical conditions, including degenerative diseases of the spine, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, cranial and spinal trauma, hydrocephalus, and peripheral nerve disorders. He is also certified in both Cyber Knife and Gamma Knife therapy for the treatment of neurologic malignancies.
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.
