Personal Information

I grew up in Eagle, Idaho where I enjoyed playing baseball, alpine skiing, hiking, whitewater rafting and rock climbing. After obtaining a religion degree at Duke University, I returned to the Pacific Northwest for medical school at the University of Washington School of Medicine, where I was fortunate to meet the love of my life. Together, we spent seven years completing our specialty medical training at the University of Pittsburgh. We returned to the area in 2019 and since our family has grown with the addition of our children, Sloane and Conrad, and our doodles, Brooks and Sage. We love hiking, skiing, boating and family trips to Lake Roosevelt and beyond.

Dr. Rothenberg feels like an "old fashioned" family doctor who not only knows about your health problems, he takes the time to know YOU, and that puts the "care" in healthcare.

My experience with Dr. Rothenberg has been very positive; from my first appointment with him to the present. 2 plus years ago Dr. Rothenberg was the surgeon for my hip replacement. I have never felt so well informed, prepared or cared for prior to a major medical procedure. I went into the surgery feeling confident. Recovery went very well, faster than I had anticipated. Pain control was excellent, as was the online exercise/PT protocol. In every encounter with Dr. Rothenberg. He has demonstrated a professional and caring attitude. In addition to Dr. Rothenberg, his staff are equally lovely; professional and caring

I wrote the following online review for Dr. Rothenberg: I give Dr. Rothenberg my highest recommendation for anyone needing hip replacement surgery. I could not have had a more positive experience or outcome. Besides his ability as a surgeon, he has organized a system/collaborates with a team that provides education and support from the diagnostic appointment to at least the 6-week post-op appointment. Besides his medical expertise/remaining updated with cutting-edge techniques and data, he communicates well with patients, thoroughly answers al questions, and encourages their knowledge and agency regarding the entire process.

The patient passport in addition to Force, the joint replacement class and all follow-up information is exceptional. As a patient I've felt more informed and included as part of the care team (as opposed to just having the surgery being done to me) than I've ever previously experienced.
