He has managed the Neurosurgery Residency Program at HUMC for nearly 20 years, served as a perennial teacher of third year medical students, and regularly mentors high school and college students interested in a career in medicine. Dr. Roth teaches a class at the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine called Human Dimensions, which focuses on the social determinants of health.

I had been experience tingling and numbness in my feet and calves. My first surgeon recommended IMMEDIATE neck surgery, stating that the cause was not only coming from discs in my neck but that I could be paralyzed if I waited and fell the wrong way without the surgery! Of course we wanted a second opinion so my wife found Dr Roth. He first assured me there was no immediate danger and then patiently explained that we should run a few more tests to rule out other causes. I can never express how grateful I am that he did! Thanks to him and his brilliance, we uncovered that my issue is vascular and not neurological or orthapaedic. A simple sonogram showed arterial sclerosis and I will be getting fixed in a very common in-office procedure. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Roth and plan to visit him again for back issues once my feet and legs are back to working order. Thank you Dr. Roth!

Before Doctor checked, very knowledgeable person collected info to complete forms and answered questions/suggested to ask Doctor on vitals. Visit with Dr. Roth was very insightful. Causes for issues, do’s and dont’s, solutions to issues and next steps were explained very well by the Dr. Roth.

Dr. Roth Is an amazing professional he clearly and confidently answered every question. He explained all the options I had but also detailed why you wouldn’t proceed with some avenues or the risk involved in each option. He has a warm and friendly temperament and I would highly recommend him to other people.

Dr . Roth is one of the Best Doctors in New Jersey! He was beyond sweet and kind. Dr Roth took his time to go over my injuries and what options I have. He really truly cares and wants to make sure you get the best care possible. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Maria in scheduling made it so easy for me to schedule my first appointment. Lauren and Nicole Ayala were so sweet and supportive! I had a great visit both times! Thank you for all that you do!
