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.

Dr. Rotenberg may be one of the highest rated pediatric neurologists but what good does that do when you can't ever a hold of him. His staff are mostly rude. Making an appointment is almost impossible. And if you are looking to hear back regarding any MRI/EEG results - be prepared for unanswered voice mail messages, wait forever for any callback and stay worried the entire time.

I fail to understand how someone qho hinself has a special needs kids can be so into making money that he forgets all ethics. He keeps ordering tests and tests with no significance. The office keep trying to schedule unnecessary appointments to make money. Staff is really rude and does not respond unless you go to office with an appointment. He botoxed all the wrong muscles in my kid which made her unable to walk with assistance (She was able to do walk with assistance before he botoxed her).

Dr Rotenberg is one of the most compassionate & well versed pediatric neurologists I've encountered who goes above & beyond to make sure your child is treated properly. He listens to parent's concerns & considers questions with great thought & answers with a plethora of knowledge. He is also a asleep specialist so if your child is having sleep issues, he is the doctor to see. He has several sleep centers in Houston should your child require a sleep study or other tests.

He is a very good doctor, but his staff can be very difficult deal with. They don't return calls, even when you leave a message. Also, once my son run out of his seizure medication and they didn't send a refill to the pharmacy, even though i had an appointment already scheduled a month later. Even the pharmacy had issues with that. Also, they try to schedule unecessary appointments just to fill paperwork for schools. They should have staff taking care of patient paperwork like most doctors do.

I was referred to Dr. Rotenberg by my highly sought after Pediatrician. With his help, my child went from grades C and F to a consistent A/B Honor Roll, so far all year. Dr. Rotenberg is cognizant enough to ask for information that you may not realize is pertinent. I am grateful to Dr. Rotenberg, and his professional and caring staff! I highly recommend Dr. Rotenberg.
