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 is one of the great ones. He is patient, thorough and truly cares about his patients well being. I've struggled with back pain for many years and he has helped me understand clearly my condition and options. He gives me as well as other patients hope. I've seen him with other patients. I also truly appreciate his kindness, easeness and knowledge. I highly recommend him.

Approaching my second surgical procedure with Dr. Roth. I couldn’t be more confident about moving forward. He and his staff are thorough and efficient. Dr. Roth’s calm and humble demeanor set the tone for each visit. He is most knowledgeable in his field and shares his expertise in a clear understandable way. I am pleased to recommend him to anyone seeking spinal medical intervention.
