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.

Excellent experience—everyone, from the front desk staff on the way in to the orthotics technician I saw on the way out, was super pleasant and helpful. Dr Pedowitz took the tine to review alternatives in detail and never gave the sense of being in any hurry.

Great experience
Dr. Pedowitz and his team were great. They were very caring and explained everything clearly. I am not a trained medical provider, but seems to me to be the best of the best in his field. I went for a 2nd opinion and left confident in his treatment plan and diagnosis. Thank you Dr. Pedowitz and team!

Great surgeon!
Dr. Pedowitz was very thorough during my initial appointment and I did not feel rushed. He did the Kidner procedure on June 11th and I had very little pain following the operation. He is very pleasant, as is his staff. Kennis responds very quickly. I am glad that I selected Dr. Pedowitz for this surgery after visiting other practices.

Avoid him for bunion and hammer toe surgery.
Total failure of bunion and hammer toe surgery. Hammer toe repair caused my toe to stand upright. Had to have an amputation. Bunion recurred almost immediately

Excellent Doctor!
Dr Pedowitz is an excellent surgeon who fixed my broken fibula and torn ligaments. He also has a kind bedside manner and his staff, especially Kennis, were terrific. You’ll be in very good hands with Dr. Pedowitz.

Outstanding expertise and compassionate care!
Dr Pedowitz takes time to know his patients. He listens attentively and answers all questions thoroughly. His assistant Kennis Jones is equally very engaged and attentive to your needs despite how very busy they are. If you listen and do all they advise, your outcome will be as optimal as possible. They definitely provide a partnership in your orthopedic need….. doing their part and advising what the patient needs to do as well. Dr Pedowitz revised my first ankle replacement. I was devastated to learn that after only two years, my first implant didn’t take and we had to go back to the OR and replace. It’s been 4 months since revision and I continue to heal and get stronger. I’m grateful for Dr Pedowitz and Kennis. Their expertise, support and encouragement has been second to none!

Incredible Doctor!
I had a difficult ankle fracture and had received one opinion on treatment. I went to Dr. Pedowitz for a second opinion and he gave me a definitive treatment plan and outlined the reasons he thought it would give me the best outcome. He was clear, confident and very responsive to my desire to maintain my active lifestyle and activities. Throughout my treatment I have found Dr. Pedowitz to be caring, kind and very patient in answering any questions I may have. I’m happy to report that I am on the road to a complete recovery thanks to his surgical skill and expertise! I highly recommend him.

Very frank!
The doctor was brutally honest on how to “fix” my foot! No nonsense. His solution was simple and would prevent me from having a major procedure-with little benefit. I am very happy with his input and will be proceeding with the suggested surgery. Thank you.

Dr. and office staff are great
I haven’t had surgery yet but based on my initial office visit for surgical consultation, I can tell you both the physician and staff are professional, responsive, efficient, and kind. All of those things matter a lot. We are certainly off to a great start.

Coolest Doc I’ve EVER Met!!
I had not one, but 2 surgeries with Dr. Pedowitz, both Bunion with minimum invasive. I was extremely happy with my first one and decided to go back to him but NOBODY else for this 2nd one. He would patiently answer all the questions and explains to you why he’s doing what he’s doing. He doesn’t get frustrated even after I ask a million questions, he answers everything with a smile and simplifies it so I could understand. A lot of people might not care about this but he’s very funny, cool and down to earth?? Even his staff is amazing, KENNIS, is an absolute delight??

Amazing!
Dr. Pedowitz is amazing, professional and caring. He answered all my questions, calmed my fears and did an amazing job repairing my tendon after and accident. He knows his stuff when it comes to orthopedics. He does get busy as a surgeon would due to all his other duties and responsibilities, however, his staff is always available and returns calls promptly. I would recommend anyone having issues with foot or ankle see Dr. Pedowitz and his associates at Rothman!
