ALEXANDER R. VACCARO, MD, PH.D, MBA - ROTHMAN ORTHOPAEDICS REVIEWS
Dr Vaccaro is an excellent doctor and I had a 5 star experience. I am confident having my well being in his hands!! He treated me with kindness and understanding. His staff is wonderful and always was there for any questions or concerns!! I want to say thank you to the hospital staff as i received the beat care I could hope for. Thank you for caring for me and helping me through my journey!!!
I am emotional about my back because it is something that I have been dealing with since the 4th grade and I am now 44. I worry about the long-term ramifications for myself and my family. Dr. Vaccaro and his staff made me feel incredibly at ease. Everyone was so professional but not so much so to induce fear. My condition is extremely rare in that I have scoliosis but it is a result of a much rarer neurological condition. Dr. Vaccaro took the time to learn about my unique situation, reviewed my x-ray with me thoroughly and in a manner that anyone could understand. He then formulated a plan to move forward. Dr. Vaccaro is as great as his reputation if not better. It was a wonderful experience.
Dr. Vaccaro and all of his team were fantastic! Every one of them has the expertise and confidence to make you feel comfortable in their care, from the first consultation to the final post-op visit. My surgery was a total success and I couldn’t be happier to return to an active life.

STEVEN M. RAIKIN, MD - ROTHMAN ORTHOPEDICS REVIEWS
Dr. Raikin performed my left foot’s fibular sesamoidectomy. I opted for surgery because it was my last resort after non-surgical options didn’t fix the pain. Dr. Raikin made it clear that the surgery will be the easiest part and that recovery will be the most important & long part. He was right, surgery was a breeze and recovery was & has been the most difficult part. I am currently 3 months post-op and am still recovering. Everything Dr. Raikin did has worked but my body has been taking a while to heal. I highly recommend Dr. Raikin. Although I have read reviews that Dr. Raikin doesn’t have great bedside manner, I disagree. He is so positive and kind. He also doesn’t sugarcoat any issues which is what I was looking for in a doctor, because if I am doing something wrong I want to have my doctor tell me. I trust him and I highly recommend him for any procedures. Id go to him again 100%.
I was so happy to see that Dr Raikin participated with my insurance! I researched and found that he is in the top 25 total ankle replacement surgeons in the US. I was able to get an appt easily. His office staff is pleasant and very efficient. He has a great support staff—C Savitch CRNP and Chardonnae -his nurse. My surgical experience was excellent—btw, I am a RN and can be very critical of my care. Post op pain was well controlled. I am 4 months post op and am walking on my ankle and wearing shoes that I had been unable to wear and walk in for years because of severe ankle pain. He always spends time and addresses concerns and answers questions and is genuine with his demeanor. I am thankful for being able to be treated by him.
Dr. Raikin has always treated me with the most professional care. He has always listened to my issues and went forth with the best care he deems correct for me. He never dismisses any concerns i have. I'd recommend him to anyone and I have.

DAVID G. NAZARIAN, MD - ROTHMAN INSTITUTE REVIEWS
I have been a patient of Dr, Nazarian for some time. He performed a partial knee replacement on my right knee 6 years ago and it has been a life changer. I honestly forget the knee was replaced it feels that comfortable! So when the left knee started to cause me pain of course I went back to consult with Dr.Nazarian. He has always treated me kindly and takes the time to answer my questions fully and in easily understandable terms. What I particularly like about Dr. Nazarian is his willingness to exhaust all available alternative treatments before recommending surgery. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Nazarian - in the most glowing terms - to anyone seeking orthopedic care.
I am so pleased with Dr. Nazarian and his staff. I had a dall last week and thought I injured my implants from bi lateral knee surgery two years ago. I called, they told me to continue to ice them and got me right in for xrays. Luckily they were not damaged. Dr. Nazario was so compassionate and concerned and assured me if I needed him if anything changed, to call right away. I just love my Ortho team!!
Dr. Nazarian replaced my dad's knees, so when I was told that would be the best option for me, I went straight to him! I got an appointment quickly, and was given options and next steps. Thank you, Dr. Nazarian and the Rothman team!
