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.

Amazing Orthopedic Experience
Well organized and professional experience. From my required x-ray to the check-in to the actual exam, everything was smooth and easy. I felt very comfortable throughout everything.

I can't begin to say how grateful I am that I am able to walk again without pain.He has a wonderful bedside manor and explained everything thoroughly. He is very patient and kind and I'm scheduled to have my other knee done in September.I trust him completely and I recommend him highly to my friends and family.Thank you Dr. Rossman, Anthony and to all his staff.

Total Hip replacement patient
Dr. Rossman is awesome! Can’t say enough great things about him and the entire team. If you see any negative reviews disregard them. They are only from patients that truly should blame themselves. If you see the reviews that mention “he said I was too fat” disregard them as well. I was vey fat and I am still a bit overweight. He never spoke down to me, never mentioned the word fat or obese, however he did explain the guidelines and BMI. If your BMI is 40 or above the joint replacement will fail due to the extra force exerted on your joints. No insurance company will PAY for the surgery and the medical device company will not recommend, or supply the joint replacement if your BMI is over 40. These are the guidelines period! My BMI was 61 with a weight of 455lbs. I got down to 290 to have the surgery! Best thing I could’ve done for myself, and I chose the right surgeon. Thanks Dr. Rossman and Anthony P.A., Melody, Jenna, Frank and everyone else at the office.

Very pleased with the results and service.
From my very first visit, I was impressed by the exceptional care from Dr. Rossman and his staff. They took the time to explain everything, provided the right resources, and answered all my questions and concerns—plus, they patiently listened to my corny jokes! Most importantly, they did a fantastic job replacing my hip and, thankfully, took away all the pain. I’d say that’s a win-win!

Super orthopedist surgeon
Dr. ROSSMAN is like no other doctor I know. He takes his time, explains things the way anybody understands. His bedside manners are impeccable, before, during and after any processor. I was lucky to be referred to Dr. ROSSMAN in June of 2022, he did my hip replacements in August 2022 and January 2023. He is an unbelievable kind, well mannered doctor and person. We need more doctors like him, that have the heart in the right place and know how to speak to a patient as a person, not a face to a name.

Outstanding Skill & Exceptional Care
I recently underwent TWO same day surgery posterior hip replacements performed by Dr. Rossman. From initial consultation to post-op care, every aspect was handled with professionalism and compassion. Dr. Rossman combines remarkable surgical skill with a deep understanding of patient needs. He took the time to explain the procedure in detail, addressing all my concerns and ensuring I felt completely at ease. His expertise and confidence were evident, which provided me with immense comfort and trust. The entire medical team supporting Dr. Rossman was equally impressive with an attentive empathetic approach. The nurses and support staff were always available to assist, providing thorough and compassionate care that greatly contributed to my swift recovery. Thanks to Dr. Rossman and his team, I am now enjoying a pain-free and active life. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Rossman to anyone in need of orthopedic surgery. His commitment to excellence and patient well-being is truly unparalleled

He is an empathetic and excellent doctor
Dr. Rossman thoroughly explains procedures. He takes time to communicate with his patients.He used models of pelvic bones and cages to visually demonstrate a process for better understanding. He is knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and very personable. He makes certain all questions are answered and spends as much time as necessary to assure every patient feels valued. One never feels rushed out of the office. His dedication to caring for his patients is inspiring.

Dr. Rossman preformed a TKA on my mother, at first she was very nervous but Dr. Rossman made her feel very comfortable. He has such a welcoming energy and he is very thorough, he will make sure you are well educated before you leave the door. The surgery itself was amazing and my mother is recovering very well. I am so thankful we chose Dr. Rossman to preform the surgery and wouldn’t have it any other way! He deserves more stars than 5! Thank you Dr. Rossman!

I AM FEELING GREAT
Dr Rossman did my hip replacement surgery in February 2024. Since after the recovery period, I have been feeling great. It is now almost a full year and I am looking forward to many more years of pain-free active mobility. Meticulous work, an effective team and professional and friendly manner made for a very good patient experience and outcome.

Dr. Rossman - are the best doctor I ever knew
Dr. Rossman is an intelligent, educated, attentive, professional specialist. He gave me a new life without pain. I turned to him with an advanced stage of coxarthrosis of the hip joint; I had no choice but to completely change the joint. Dr. Rossman and his team did everything perfectly, I didn’t even expect to see such a beautiful stitch). They talked to me a lot, telling me and explaining everything in detail before the operation and especially after. 3 months have passed - I have completely returned to normal life, I can do whatever I want.... I can even ice skate! It's just a dream!I am grateful to Dr. Rossman and his team for their wonderful and professional work.

This was my first trip , I had a great experience.
Dr. Rossman is amazing, very thorough, compassionate and great bedside manners.The staff was very helpful especially Jenna. I made a request to her, if the Dr. could see me right away as I had a personal commitment right after. The staff did every thing they could and respected my request. Even Dr. Rossman came into the room right away to see me so I could get done as soon as possible.

Kind & considerate & conservative!
After years of trying conservative measures, it was determined that the arthritis behind my knee had progressed and started causing dislocations that got worse in intensity and time recovering. At 50yrs old I had a total right knee replacement July 2024. I was made aware of potential complications due to underlying conditions but we were hopeful. Despite my best efforts with aggressive PT & at home, it was decided an MUA was necessary for the best outcome. Dr. Rossman, Anthony Grande, Melody & honestly his entire staff were kind, encouraging and supportive! They were there to help with the concerns I faced, some expected, others were surprising. I have 115• flexion (pt can get me to 130!) & my last goal is to achieve 0• extension ( I was a small % who couldn’t get my leg straight was @ 25• it affected my gait terribly) I’m so close & very determined. They are still supporting my recovery & my personal goals. I’m depending on them now to keep my left knee as healthy as possible.
