My physcian was the doctor on call and I was just so very blessed to have him.

Describe your experience.

My Rothman surgeon was absolutely wonderful - skilled surgeon, terrific bedside manner with full explanation, regular checking on me, Rothman staff all knew the situation, and treated me in accordance therewith, no question I had was unanswered. Other doctors evidenced their respect for my physician and treated me for all the subsequent issues as a result of the Bacterial Abscess.
