Ted Rothstein's Online Review Report Card

I have received excellent care from Dr. Rothstein over the years and am only sorry that he has retired from the clinical practice of the GW Medical Faculty Associates. Thank you Dr. Rothstein, wishing you all the best! Sharon London

We had what was supposed to be a tele visit but couldn't make it work. Instead we had a phone visit. Dr. Rothstein was excellent. He asked great questions and took his time thinking about the answers. We are looking forward to working with him on my husband's problem.

I gave one star, because it wouldn't allow me to post - in truth this practice deserves negative points. Worst customer service on the planet. Aside from a friendly receptionist, my partner has yet to speak to another human in the office. Voicemail. Voicemail. Voicemail. Not a single call has been returned from the nurse in the past three weeks. And the request is so simple - it's an easy fix solved by one simple returned phone call. You all should be ashamed of the way you treat patients.

I have known Ted since the later 70's. We were friends when he lived in Seattle. I referred patients to him and I knew his wife and son. I house-sat son several occasions and had holidays with them. Ted is the finest man and physician with the highest integrity. He's a good tennis player, too. I recommend him highly.

Smart doctor who knows his stuff, and, during the office visit, he was very attentive. But he is VERY INATTENTIVE outside of office visits. He told us that the patient portal was the best way to communicate with him, but he rarely checks it. It took about two weeks just to get lab results from this man. (We finally went to the hospital ourselves and filled out paperwork to get it sent to us.) His nurse/staff doesn't return calls either. Think twice before making an appointment with him.

Really smart doctor, and during office visits he's attentive, but neither he nor his office staff returns calls or emails post-visit. I would think twice before making an appointment--especially if you want to get your test results within a reasonable period of time (i.e. less than two weeks). Absolutely ridiculous.

Dr Rothstein is experienced, trustworthy and accommodating though he is not particularly accessible because of how busy he is. I feel comfortable in his care however I would feel more comfortable if I was able to communicate with him more freely inside and outside the office. The staff seems to have a difficult time coordinating with pharmacies however so I would keep this in mind when selecting this doctor.

Very pompous, strong disconnect with patient.

Very dismissive doctor. He was very dismissive of my symptoms and seemed bored during my consultation. I found him very difficult to talk to. He asked me if I'd seen other neurologists, and specialists and asked what they said. He did not order any tests for me. He told me he did not know what was wrong with me, and to come back in 3-months if my symptoms persisted. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone.

At a time where I was out of medication, he and or his staff cancelled three appointments of mine in a row. I called them to notify that I was out of medication but they did not follow up with me or see me. Come to find out that I had an outstanding bill of a measley $100. That should not influence whether doctor sees a patient.
