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.

MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM DR. ROSENTHAL NOT KNOWING HIS HISTORY SAVED MY HUSBANDS LIFE. WE JUST WANT TO THANK HIM FOR BEING THE GREAT SURGEN HE IS. I WISH MORE DOCTORS CARE ABOUT THEIR PATIENTS LIKE HE DID. I WAS TOLD HE RETIRED. I AM SORRY TO HEAR THAT. IT IS A GREAT LOSS FOR THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.

Dr. Rosenthal had performed a previous surgery on me. That has been perfect. This recent one involved a 2 part procedure. He initiated an Endoscopy as the first part to make sure my bile duct was OK. It wasn't. It was blocked and subsequently cleared. The next day Dr. Rosenthal removed my Gallbladder. It was a great success. I comment his thought about clearing the duct first. I find him to be incredibly skilled. he connected well with me. Explained the procedures, and I was very pleased with my result. I have not felt this great in years. My sincere thanks to Dr. Rosenthal and his team of professionals.

During the stay at home time of the Covid19 Pandemic I found myself in pain on a Saturday night, and went to the ER Honor Health Scottsdale/Shea. I had a Gallstone that was causing an obstruction. After being admitted, I was told Dr. Rosenthal would remove my Gall Bladder. He is very skilled and knowledgeable. He explained what he would be doing, and calmed my fears. I would recommend him to everyone. He answered all my questions, and listened to me.

Dr. Rosenthal recently performed emergency surgery on my 96 year old family member. Upon meeting the doctor in pre-op, I could tell he had a very high standard of care. Even the staff at the hospital commented that he was a highly skilled and very knowledgeable surgeon. One employee said "Well, you've got the best". I have EVERY confidence in Dr. Rosenthal and would chose him without hesitation.

Dr. Rosenthal removed my gallbladder at Honor hospital 92nd and Shea. Informative, explained the procedure. After the surgery I had absolutely no pain. I felt great and was released the next day. If anyone needs this type of surgery I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Rosenthal.

My urologist referred me to Dr. Rosenthal regarding a badly infected and obstructed gall bladder. Dr Rosenthal was the perfect choice. He is a take-charge guy. He ordered a thorough range of tests that prompted immediate action. He admitted me to Honor Health at Shea and within an hour I was in surgery. When I met him he made an extraordinary impression. I told him he is in my Top-Ten List. A week later when I saw him for a followup I thanked him for saving my life. In my book Dr. Rosenthal is Number One...and still climbing.

Dr. Rosenthal is an excellent surgeon. My issue is his billing company he uses. I will also be sending this to your home address at 8344 N Sendero Tres M, Paradise Valley, AZ 85253 as it seems like the only way to reach you. Since your office is unable to handle any billing questions and the only number to call on the bill is your office number I find this disheartening. I will also try reaching you on your personal number 480-998-1460.

If you want to laugh your way through your surgery, Dr. Rosenthal is your guy. He's a natural born comic. His surgical skills, professional manner, and knowldedge were excellent. My surgery went off without a hitch - and I went home laughing.

Dr. Rosenthal removed my gallbladder. I had been admitted through ER, and was not originally assigned, Dr. Rosenthal, but a different surgeon who I experienced as very arrogant and with terrible bedside manner. Not trusting that doctor, my nurse helped me secure Dr. Rosenthal. Unlike the first doctor, Dr. Rosenthal listened intently, answered my questions, and was empathetic. Going into surgery, I felt confident in Dr. Rosenthal's abilities, and believed he had my best interest at heart.

Terrible bedside manner. Rude and arrogant. NOT a good communicator. I would say that communication is key when having surgery, yes? I would not recommend Dr. Rosenthal to anyone I care about!

Both my son and I had the opportunity to be taken care of by Dr. Rosenthal. He removed a lump from my underarm and a hemangioma from my sons forearm. We both had excellent results. Dr. Rosenthal has a nice bedside manner which puts even the most nervous person at ease. He is a bit meticulous, making sure everything is just so to ensure the best outcome. I would definitely recommend Dr. Rosenthal.

I came into the Emergency Room with strange abdominal pain and Dr. Rosenthal was quickly able to diagnose what the problem was and get me ready for surgery. Most impressive was his warm and calming nature, his ability to explain from start to finish what my problem was and what my surgery would entail. He knew how nervous I was and even got me to laugh and relax a little. Everything went exactly as he explained it would and I was feeling so much better afterwards. Highly recommend!!!!

Dr Rosenthal is a fantastic doctor. He is very straight forward and by the book. After my surgery I followed his advice and had a quick recovery. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone. He checked in on me every day I was in the hospital (including Sunday). His follow up is great.
