Why did you choose Rothman?
I chose Rothman because the surgeons and physicians provide empathetic care and subspecialized orthopedics. Rothman is research focused to provide the best and most up to date surgical/procedural techniques. I have worked with many surgeons and physicians at Rothman as a physician assistant and have firsthand seen their skills and expertise at work in both the office and operating room.
Describe your experience.
My experience with Rothman started before I became an Orthopedic Physician Assistant. My Rothman surgeon became a mentor of mine which ultimately led me to pursuing this career path. As a patient, I felt reassured by the physicians and surgeons that I would be able to resume the exercise lifestyle I once had. I always had great communication with the staff members regarding my care.
What would you recommend to patients considering treatment?
I would recommend patients seek treatment who want to live a healthier and happier life. Surgery does not have to be the answer for everyone, but patients owe it to themselves to become educated on their treatment options. I treat many patients who wish they had sought treatment sooner after seeing post procedural and surgical results.
