Jonathan Rotker's Online Review Report Card

I had a very bad experience with Dr Rotker. Even though I was wearing a face mask during my medical appointment, he asked me to put a second face mask on top of the one that I was wearing, because I told him that I haven’t received the Covid vaccine yet. He did not examine me at all, and he just spent about 5 minutes with me, as far away as he could from me, asking me a few questions about my symptoms. He ended up telling me those were reflux symptoms and that I should continue taking Lansoprazole for another 8 weeks, which I was already taking it for a long time. One doesn’t need a prescription for that. I was very disappointed that I received a $300 bill for 5 minutes of his time when he did absolute nothing!!!Today I just called to make an appointment with Dr Spiceland, which is other gastroenterologist in the same facility, and the receptionist denied me to make an appointment with this other doctor because “I was patient of Dr Rotker.” I explained my previous experience with Dr Rotker and why I wanted to try this other doctor but she was SO rude and denied my petition.

I was a first time patient, but as a 2nd opinion. He walked in with an extremely rude attitude. His first sentence was "So why are you here" but with an belittling attitude. I told him my PCP sent me and she should have sent files. He just gave more attitude. We didn't accomplish anything in the 5 mins I was there. Especially the one medical emergency that needed to be seen that was sent by my doctor to him days before. As the appointment wrapped up he said "Can I ask you one more question" I told him sure. He said "Why arent you vaccinated for covid?" I explained that my daughter was extremely immune compromised and that her specialist and I decided that it was best for my family to hold off. He started flipping out telling me that I could get the vaccine and that because my daughter has an auto immune disorder im doing her an injustice and will unalive her by not being vaccinated. Needless to say, I wont be back.

I came in as a first time patient, but as a 2nd opinion visit. He walked in with an extremely rude attitude which already had me nervous. His first sentence was "So why are you here" but with an extremely belittling attitude. I told him my PCP sent me as we were searching for answers and she should have sent all my files. He just gave more attitude. We didn't accomplish anything in the 5 mins I was there. Especially the one main medical emergency that needed to be seen that was sent by my doctor to him days before. As the appointment wrapped up he said "Can I ask you one more question" I told him sure. He said "Why arent you vaccinated for covid?" I explained that my daughter was extremely immune compromised and that her specialist and I decided that it was best for my family to hold off. He started flipping out telling me that I could get the vaccine and that because my daughter has an auto immune disorder im doing her an injustice and will kill her by no being vaccinated. Needless to say....I won't be back and my immediate care is now having to be withheld as we search for an available GI who takes new patients.

Dr. Rotker is an exceptional doctor! I love how he listens to all my concerns and is willing to help me with my journey to a healthier future. The staff is wonderful and recommend them to everyone!

He tore my esophagus during a routine stretch. I have Barrets esophagus. He was mad when he heard I checked into the hospital after I started throwing up blood. I guess I made him look bad!!

I have met a lot of people in my lifetime from all walks of life, from homeless people to high ranking government officials, but I have never met anyone as rude, obnoxious, insulting, and hateful as this man. I refer to him as Dr. Rotten. I was in extreme stomach pain, and he tried to say it was because I swallow air when I eat. One visit was enough. I found another doctor and was diagnosed with irritable bowel and acid reflux.. What a jerk!!

Staff was great, from registration to the nursing staff. The Doctors came and spoke to me asked if I had any questions and if I needed anything. That put me at ease quickly.
