Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

One of the most brilliant physicians on the planet, who does the best possible for every patient. Thank you Dr. Rotenberg!

PLP in Boston, MA – Dec 16, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Rotenberg?
In April 2018 I explained concerns of a brain cysts causing severe, life altering symptoms for my son. Dr. Rotrenberg dismissed our concerns for 2 days, and sent my son home saying it was anxiety and all in his head- despite many physical symptoms. We were referred to another specialist who did examine the cyst and operate. Only now do we have normal lives back. We are still paying medical bills for being sent home saying there was no issue from a Dr. who would not listen to us
