Office staff were extremely cold - not sure if everyone was missing their coffee that morning, but not very lively. Doctor Platon was personable, he at least smiled and spoke with me not at me. I went in with severe pain, expecting just a meet & greet, wasting my time in pain - however received a shot that helped a lot.

Anonymous Via RateMDs - Dr. David Rothbart

I rarely write reviews, but in this case ... I believe that he may be a brilliant surgeon, but his God complex negates any credibility in that area for me. I went in to get a ROF from an MRI and he began to flippantly let me know what was going to happen - that they would start cutting in the front and then "flip me over" to cut on the backside to insert the screws and rod. When I dared to look surprised, he said to me, "Well what did you expect - to come in here thinking this was some simple operation?" Well doctor, I had NO idea that this is what the MRI would show, since I am not a neurosurgeon. That should have been enough for me, but I let him send me for a CT scan. This time, I came back with my husband, and although he was more palatable with the extra testosterone in the room (unbelievably, this advice to bring my husband back with me came from someone on his staff), he was still rude and condescending. When my husband gently asked, "For lack of a better visual, do you make a 'pilot' hole before actually implanting the screws, to make sure they're in the right spot?" - Dr. Rothbart gave him a deadpan look and said, "What, are you a carpenter or something?" And on and on it went. We left, knowing this man would not lay one hand on me. And promptly found the most wonderful surgeon - polar opposite of Rothbart - in every way. I could list the 7 distinct differences here, but I've already written a novel. I think you can get the idea that this man needs to come down from his self-perceived lofty position, and actually begin to at least "act like" he cares for his prospective clients.

I was very pleased with Dr Cooper taking the time to explain to me my condition after being seen by 3 others who did not.But on the other hand i felt judged because of my past that I provided and not him having to find out.People make mistakes and learn from them. Everyone is not the same. Just like raising multiple children.Uh uh sure is the response....
